🚞 Many friends planning long-distance trips to Xinjiang often worry about the hundreds of kilometers of driving and the hassle of frequently changing hotels and packing luggage. The 2026 Dahezhinan special tourist train perfectly solves this problem. You just follow the train throughout the journey, with the berth serving as your mobile accommodation. No need to pack luggage every day; you wake up at the next destination, easily touring the core attractions of both northern and southern Xinjiang. This train departs from stations in Henan, such as Zhengzhou and Luoyang, heading west across multiple provinces and cities, ultimately deep into the Xinjiang hinterland. It covers several unique scenic spots including Turpan, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Kanas, and Sayram Lake. The itinerary has a relaxed pace, suitable for family trips, middle-aged and elderly travelers, photography enthusiasts, and more.
The entire route connects different landscapes of Xinjiang. The first stop in Xinjiang is Turpan, a well-known hot region. Here, you can find the Karez underground irrigation system, a testament to the wisdom of ancient laborers. Walking in the cool corridors, you can clearly feel the coolness from the underground channels, contrasting sharply with the heat outside. The Flaming Mountain’s reddish-brown mountain body is vividly colored on sunny days, a highly recognizable landform. The Grape Valley grows many grape varieties, with vines full during the ripe season. Local fruits are very sweet, and many tourists enjoy local specialties here.
Afterwards, the train heads to Kashgar, deep into the Pamir Plateau region. The Stone City here is an important ancient Silk Road station site. From the viewing platform, you can overlook the entire city outline. At sunset, warm light hits the yellow earth walls, creating strong layers. The nearby Golden Grassland has winding rivers, with snow-capped mountains in the distance, making a distinctive scene with the Stone City. Note that Tashkurgan County is about 3,100 meters above sea level; move slowly and avoid vigorous running or jumping. Temperatures drop quickly after sunset on the plateau; even in summer, bring a windbreaker or light down jacket for warmth. If the clouds are thick that day, the sunset view may be affected; check the local weather forecast before traveling.
The next part of the journey takes the Duku Highway. According to the latest 2026 transportation department notice, the entire Duku Highway is expected to open between June 5 and 10. The train’s June to September departures all cover the Duku Highway’s operating period, allowing visits to the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon on the southern section, and the Bayanbulak Grassland and Nalati Valley Grassland on the middle section. Along the way, you’ll see different landscapes like canyons, grasslands, and snow-capped mountains. The Duku Highway is open daily from 08:00 to 21:00, with nighttime traffic service guidance; the itinerary matches the traffic rules.
The subsequent northern Xinjiang section is also rich in attractions. The landscape of Kanas Scenic Area, with its mountains, water, and vegetation, is unique. Hemu Village’s wooden houses are scattered, often shrouded in morning mist; many tourists get up early to climb the viewing platform for photos. Sayram Lake’s water is clear; walking along the lake offers different views of the lake and distant mountains. The border scenery at Horgos Port is also distinctive. Finally, you’ll visit Urumqi to see Tianshan Tianchi and the Grand Bazaar. After completing the entire itinerary, you take the train back, saving the trouble of planning tickets and transfers.
