📌 Introduction to Key Destination Features of the Route
This special train covers multiple representative scenic spots in eastern, northern, and southern Xinjiang, with distinct regional landscapes that cater to various tourist preferences:
The Hami Grand Sea Road Devil City in the eastern Xinjiang section, located in the Gashun Gobi area, is an important passage on the ancient Silk Road. The area features diverse landscapes such as yardang landforms, ancient castles, beacon towers, and prehistoric human settlement sites, with opportunities to encounter wild camel herds in the desert. According to 2026 travel tips, the area has limited signal coverage, so it’s advisable to prepare sunscreen, sufficient drinking water, and food in advance. The scenic spot ticket reference price is 45 RMB/person, and self-driving requires an additional vehicle通行 fee.
The Kanas Scenic Area in the northern Xinjiang section requires advance reservation for entry. Tourists can book entry slots through channels in advance. The area features intertwined mountains, waters, forests, and lakes, with lush summer vegetation and colorful autumn forests, offering different seasonal experiences. Nearby Hemu Ancient Village and the Colorful Beach Danxia landform also have unique landscape features, with the sunset at Colorful Beach being favored by many photography enthusiasts. Sayram Lake, as a well-known plateau lake in northern Xinjiang, introduced exclusive ticket优惠政策 in 2026. Visitors born under the zodiac sign of Horse can enter for free on their birthday with valid ID, and those visiting before March 15 can enjoy a half-price ticket discount, with corresponding discounts on dining and entertainment around the lake area.
The essence section of the Duku Highway is one of the special arrangements of this trip. This highway crosses the Tianshan Mountains from north to south and is recommended to open only during the summer limited period each year due to weather conditions. It is expected to be fully open around June 20, 2026. The highway has traffic service guidance from 20:00 to 8:00 daily, and vehicles with more than 7 seats are not allowed to enter. The itinerary uses compliant vehicles for travel, allowing you to enjoy multiple landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and canyons along the way. The natural scenery of Nalati Sky Grassland and Bayinbuluke Grassland is vast and open, where tourists can stroll and experience the northwest grassland landscape different from southern mountainous areas.
In the southern Xinjiang section, the Pamir Plateau area features unique plateau landscapes at Karakul Lake, Golden Grass Beach, and Stone City. Later, you can visit the old city of Kashgar to experience local life. Attractions like the Lop Nur Village and Bosten Lake allow tourists to feel the unique water town style of southern Xinjiang, creating a stark contrast with the typical impression of the Gobi Desert.
