🌄 Route Highlights:13 Days Crossing the Essence of the Tianshan Mountains from North to South
The ‘Tianshan’ train adopts a ‘train follows people, people play while train stops’ model, avoiding the fatigue of frequent transfers and luggage handling. The train departs from Urumqi, heading north to Kanas, west to the Ili River Valley, south to the Pamir Plateau, and east to the Turpan Basin, forming a complete loop. The itinerary covers core attractions such as Tianshan Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns, the southern section of the Duku Highway, Kashgar Old City, Wensu Grand Canyon, and Flaming Mountain, balancing natural wonders and cultural landscapes.
The carriages are equipped with air conditioning, power outlets, public shower rooms, and a dining car and bar area. Some room types allow flexible changes between upper and lower berths. Ground transfers use air-conditioned tourist buses, accommodation standards are online-rated four-diamond/four-star hotels and local comfortable standard rooms, and meals include multiple specialty dinners (such as big plate chicken, cold-water fish feast, ethnic flavor meals, etc.). The overall pace is relaxed, suitable for families, senior groups, and deep travel enthusiasts.
Note that due to factors such as seasons, weather, and traffic controls, the specific order of scenic spot visits or accommodation arrangements may be reasonably adjusted through mutual agreement to ensure itinerary and experience quality.
