This special train spans both northern and southern Xinjiang, including beloved natural landscapes like Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, and Sayram Lake, as well as culturally and geologically rich sites such as Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, and Wensu Grand Canyon. The 13-day itinerary eliminates the need for frequent accommodation changes or self-planned intercity travel, allowing tourists to focus more on enjoying the scenery along the way.
🎯 Introduction to Key Highlights of the Route
This route covers a variety of scenic spots, catering to different tourist preferences:
✅ Tianshan Tianchi is located in Fukang City. In summer, the mountain temperatures are relatively lower than the plains, making it a great place to escape the heat. The scenic area warns that from afternoon to night in summer, mountainous areas are prone to strong convective weather such as thunderstorms, thunderstorm gales, and short-term heavy rainfall. Before traveling, check relevant announcements and adjust your itinerary based on weather conditions. When taking the scenic area shuttle bus, keep your seatbelt fastened at all times and follow staff guidance.
✅ Kanas and Hemu scenic areas will switch to summer operation from May 1, 2026, implementing a real-name reservation and ticket purchase system. The maximum daily capacity is 55,000 people. Tourists can book tickets in advance through relevant channels. Traveling during off-peak times can provide a better experience. Accommodation near the scenic areas should be planned and booked in advance to avoid last-minute hassles.
✅ Sayram Lake is located in Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture. In summer, wildflowers bloom by the lake, complemented by clear waters, making it a popular photo spot for tourists. The architectural beauty of the Guozigou Bridge also attracts many visitors. The Nalati Grassland in summer is lush with abundant water and grass, with comfortable temperatures. When visiting, prepare sunscreen, insect repellent, and warm clothing as needed, as the temperature difference between day and night in the scenic area is significant.
✅ The southern section of the Duku Highway, open every summer, allows tourists to experience diverse landscapes such as mountains, grasslands, forests, and canyons all at once. The unique Danxia landform of Wensu Grand Canyon also lets visitors appreciate the geological diversity of Xinjiang.
✅ Kashgar Old City, Karakul Lake along the Pamir Plateau, and Golden Grassland offer tourists a taste of different cultural landscapes and plateau scenery. When visiting, follow the scenic area’s regulations and respect local customs.
A travel advisory issued by the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism in April 2026 also reminds tourists to choose regular travel agencies, sign formal travel contracts, keep seatbelts fastened throughout the ride, avoid entering undeveloped or unopened areas, do not cross warning lines when viewing or taking photos, carry garbage bags to dispose of waste, follow forest fire prevention regulations, and contact staff promptly in case of emergencies.
