Entering 2026, Xinjiang tourism continues to heat up.

Today, we have compiled relevant information for everyone to choose according to their needs.
✨ Introduction to the Tianshan Special Train and Destinations Along the Route
In 2026, the Tianshan Special Train will be fully upgraded with renewed services. It adopts a loop design connecting over ten core scenic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang, covering both the mountain, lake, and grassland scenery of northern Xinjiang and the cultural and historical landscapes of southern Xinjiang. It suits various travel needs such as family trips, group outings with friends, and solo travel. The special train uses a ‘people play, train stops’ mode, eliminating the hassle of frequently changing accommodations and packing luggage, making the travel pace more relaxed. Below are the 2026 latest travel tips for core scenic spots along the route:
Tianshan Tianchi: This is a iconic alpine lake in the eastern Tianshan Mountains. In 2026, Fukang City’s cultural and tourism department reminds that the lake’s water comes from glacial meltwater, with consistently low temperatures. Swimming and playing in the water are strictly prohibited within the scenic area. Visitors should stay away from non-open areas near the water. The park is open from 8:00 to 20:00.
Kanas and Hemu: Kanas Scenic Area adopts a green travel mode with sightseeing buses and village buses. The village buses operate until 24:00. Climbing to Guanyu Terrace offers a panoramic view of Kanas Lake. Hemu’s primitive village scenery is also worth leisurely strolling. When visiting, avoid feeding livestock in the pastures.
Sayram Lake:The weather around the lake is changeable, so bring a jacket and rain gear. UV rays are strong, so take sun protection measures. The lake area has multiple photo spots like Moon Bay, Qinshui Beach, Swan Music, and Dianjiang Terrace. There are few dining spots in the scenic area, so bring some dry food and drinking water. Specific groups like children, seniors, and students can enjoy ticket discounts with ID. During peak season, it’s recommended to buy tickets online in advance to reduce queuing time.
Nalati Grassland:Also known as the Sky Grassland, it features lush summer pastures and blooming wildflowers. If choosing horseback riding, find legitimate operators. The grassland has large temperature differences between morning and evening, so even in summer, bring a thick jacket to avoid catching a cold.
Pamir Plateau Route:Includes spots like Karakul Lake, Stone City, and Golden Grassland. This is a border area, so a border pass is required in advance. After registration, consult the travel agency for assistance in obtaining the relevant documents, saving time on self-processing.
Kashgar and Turpan Route:Spots like Kashgar Old City, Fragrant Concubine Garden, Flaming Mountain, and Karez Well cover cultural history and geological wonders. Travelers of all ages can find interesting activities.
In 2026, Xinjiang’s cultural and tourism department also released tips for civilized travel, reminding tourists to choose qualified travel agencies with proper licenses, sign formal contracts to protect their rights, follow scenic area rules during visits, avoid entering undeveloped areas, do not cross warning lines when taking photos, take away personal trash, comply with forest fire prevention regulations, and jointly maintain the local ecological environment. If extreme weather causes temporary closure of scenic areas or roads, cooperate with staff arrangements. Safety always comes first.
