🌄 Detailed Route Introduction
The Tianshan Special Train covers over ten core scenic areas in Eastern, Northern, and Southern Xinjiang, from alpine lakes to grassland wetlands, from Danxia canyons to plateau landscapes, and historical cultural districts. Without needing to repeatedly check train schedules or book accommodations in different cities, the special train handles most long-distance cross-city travel, allowing you to rest during the journey and saving a lot of effort in planning and transit.
✨ Tianshan Tianchi is the first natural core scenic spot on the route. According to travel tips from Fukang City’s cultural and tourism department, the weather in the mountainous area around the scenic spot is changeable, with strong convective weather likely from afternoon to night. It is recommended to check scenic spot announcements in advance, bring sun protection, rain gear, and warm clothing, keep seat belts fastened throughout the scenic area shuttle bus ride, wear life jackets as required for water activities, and avoid visiting undeveloped wild scenic areas.
✨ Kanas and Hemu scenic spots have switched to summer operation mode from May 1, 2026, implementing a real-name reservation and ticket purchase system. Travelers can book tickets in advance through channels. The scenic spot’s maximum daily capacity is 55,000 people, and during peak periods, visitor flow guidance measures may be activated. Off-peak travel will provide a better experience. In summer, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so bring enough warm clothing. Unauthorized camping is strictly prohibited throughout the scenic area, pets are not allowed, and carrying fire sources is forbidden. Village buses operate until midnight, so those wanting to see night or morning views can arrange their time accordingly.
✨ Sayram Lake is known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean.’ In 2026, the full-price ticket is 70 RMB/person, with corresponding discounts for seniors, students, and other groups. Visitors born in the Year of the Horse can enter for free on their birthday with valid ID. For self-driving around the lake, you can purchase a self-driving package ticket, allowing multiple entries within 48 hours. Alternatively, you can take the scenic area shuttle bus for a lake tour, with stops reserved at each station for photos and sightseeing. The scenic area offers specialty high-white salmon, with tender meat, a local delicacy.
Additionally, the route includes the alpine meadow landscape of Nalati Grassland, the wetland bird landscape of Bayinbuluke, the mountain vertical landscape belt along the southern section of Duku Highway, the characteristic street style of Kashgar Old City, the snow mountain and lake landscape of the Pamir Plateau, the Danxia landform of Wensu Grand Canyon, and the cultural landscapes of Flaming Mountain and Karez Well in Turpan.
