🚞 2026 Dahe Zhi Nan Hao Special Tourist Travel Guide
Many tourists planning to visit Xinjiang in 2026 are often troubled by the vast territory, scattered attractions, and troublesome long-distance transfers. The Dahe Zhi Nan Hao special tourist train can solve these travel pain points. You can follow the train throughout the journey without frequently packing luggage or changing accommodations, covering over ten core attractions in northern and southern Xinjiang in one go, suitable for family trips, group outings with friends, and other travel needs.
The core attractions covered by this special train each have their own characteristics. Here is the latest travel information for each area in 2026 for your advance understanding:
Turpan Area: In 2026, the Grape Valley scenic area will waive the first admission fee for the whole year. 21 paid scenic spots, including Karez Well and Flaming Mountain, will also waive the first admission fee for tourists with Chongqing household registration. Residents from four provinces, twelve cities, and Changsha can enjoy a half-price discount on tickets. Tourists born in the Year of the Horse or with the surname Ma also have corresponding exclusive discounts. Here, you can experience the design wisdom of ancient underground water conservancy projects, the unique dry and hot terrain of Flaming Mountain, taste fresh fruits from Grape Valley, and feel the unique charm of this Silk Road town.
Pamir Plateau Area: You can visit high-altitude landscapes like Karakul Lake, Stone City, and Golden Grassland. This area has a high altitude, so you need to apply for a travel permit in advance, which can be done through the ‘Xinjiang Public Security Micro-Services’ mini-program. Remember to bring warm clothing like down jackets and windbreakers, as well as high-SPF sunscreen, lip balm, and other moisturizing and sun-protection products. Prepare for altitude sickness prevention before departure.
Duku Highway Area: The Duku Highway is expected to open for trial traffic on May 28, 2026, and officially open on June 5. It spans the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, with an altitude difference of over 2,500 meters. Along the way, you can see various landforms such as Gobi deserts, snowy peaks, meadows and river valleys, and red-layer canyons. This special train itinerary includes tours of the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, so you don’t have to deal with complex mountain road conditions yourself, saving effort and energy.
Yili Area:Nalati Valley Grassland and Sayram Lake are highly popular attractions. In 2026, during the peak season (June-August) at Sayram Lake, you need to make a reservation through the official WeChat account 7 days in advance. To experience the scenic beauty with fewer crowds in the morning, you can book an entry time before 8:00 AM. The scenic area’s shuttle bus covers all core photo spots, so no additional customized vehicle is needed.
Altay Area:Kanas, Hemu, and Colorful Beach each have their own characteristics. In 2026, Kanas Scenic Area does not require advance reservations; you can buy tickets on-site or through the official WeChat account. It is recommended to enter the scenic area before 9:00 AM or after 4:00 PM to avoid peak crowds.
