🌟 Route and Destination Introduction
This special train covers multiple popular natural and cultural sites in Xinjiang, offering views of different landscapes along the way. The entire journey avoids backtracking, allowing you to experience the diverse scenery of the Tianshan Mountains in one go:
Tianshan Tianchi, an ice-eroded lake in the Tianshan range, is surrounded by spruce forests with clear lake waters reflecting the distant Bogda Peak. The scenic area will be open normally in 2026. Before traveling, you can check the scenic area’s visitor flow tips in advance to arrange your visit time reasonably.
Kanas Scenic Area includes multiple unique spots such as Xianwan, Wolong Bay, and Moon Bay. The scenic area advises not to cross fences or warning lines to stay, take photos, or walk on ice or near water. Follow the guidance of staff during your visit. From June to August, Kanas has lush vegetation, and the lake displays layered blue-green tones, making the landscape highly recognizable.
The wooden house village of Hemu is nestled in the valley, with a layered landscape when morning mist envelops it, perfect for a leisurely stroll and experiencing a slow-paced mountain atmosphere.
The Yadan landform of Colorful Beach has high color saturation at sunset, paired with the nearby river, making it ideal for photography.
Sayram Lake is open all year round, with a 90-kilometer lake-ring road and cultural sites like Genghis Khan’s Command Platform nearby. In 2026, the scenic area offers free admission for visitors born in the Year of the Horse on their birthday. There are multiple dining and convenience store points at the East, North, and South Gates. During your visit, you can take shuttle buses to explore different routes or stop in designated areas to enjoy the lake view.
Nalati Grassland offers two routes: the Sky Grassland and the River Valley Grassland. The Sky Grassland is at a higher altitude, allowing you to overlook snow-capped mountains from the meadow, with wildflowers covering the slopes from June to July. The River Valley Grassland stretches along the Kunes River, with gentle terrain suitable for strolling and picnicking, and you can also experience horse riding. The scenic area recommends purchasing tickets online in advance to save queuing time. Even in midsummer, bring a windproof jacket as it’s windy and cool at the mountaintop.
The southern section of the Duku Highway showcases landscape changes from grassland to Gobi. On the Pamir Plateau, Karakul Lake, Stone City, and Golden Grassland each have their unique features. Sites like Kashgar Old City and Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb offer a taste of local life. The red Danxia landform of Wensu Grand Canyon is uniquely shaped, while Turpan’s Flaming Mountain, Grape Manor, and Karez Well are all iconic Xinjiang sites.
The entire journey includes natural landscapes like plateau lakes, grasslands, and canyons, as well as cultural experiences like old streets and folk sites, suitable for tourists of all ages.
