🚂 Dahezhinan Tourist Train:17-day slow tour of Southern and Northern Xinjiang, a moving home on the road
Tired of the fatigue of frequently moving luggage, changing hotels, and rushing through itineraries in traditional travel? In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ tourist train introduces the concept of ‘residential travel,’ offering a new choice for travelers seeking an in-depth experience of Xinjiang’s scenery—exploring key attractions during the day and sleeping soundly in soft-sleeper compartments with private bathrooms at night, with luggage staying on the train throughout the journey, truly achieving ‘settle in as you board, play as you disembark.’
This special train is built by China Railway Zhengzhou Group Co., Ltd., with a route running through the central plains and deep into the core areas of Southern and Northern Xinjiang, covering diverse landscapes such as deserts, oases, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes. The train adopts a ‘travel by day, rest by night’ model, effectively saving travel time and making the journey more relaxed. The carriages are equipped with multi-functional entertainment areas (including board games, KTV, tea lounges), a dedicated dining car (with meals prepared by a professional chef team, balancing northern and southern tastes with Xinjiang specialties), and age-friendly facilities such as anti-slip handrails and emergency call buttons, suitable for family trips, senior groups, and leisure travelers.
