🌿 Key Highlights of the Route
This train route covers the core high-quality scenic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang, with no backtracking throughout the journey, balancing natural landscapes and cultural experiences, suitable for tourists who want to deeply explore Xinjiang.
Tianshan Tianchi: During the 2026 peak season (April 1 to October 31), the ticket price is 95 RMB per person, valid for two days. There are multiple preferential policies throughout the year, such as free admission for medical staff with their practice license in May, free admission for teachers with their teaching certificate in September, and free admission for tourists on their birthday with valid ID. The scenic area is located at the foot of Bogda Peak, with clear lake waters contrasting with surrounding glaciers, snow-capped mountains, forests, and meadows, making it one of Xinjiang’s most famous cultural tourism destinations.
Kanas & Hemu:From May 1, 2026, the scenic area enters summer operation mode, implementing a real-name reservation and ticket purchase system. The maximum daily capacity is 55,000 people, with entry and exit hours from 08:00 to 20:00, and village buses operating until 24:00. The summer climate in the scenic area is changeable with large temperature differences between day and night. It is recommended to prepare warm, sun-protective, and rainproof gear, as well as common medicines. Do not enter undeveloped areas or camp without permission. The lake and mountain scenery of Kanas and the ancient village charm of Hemu allow tourists to experience the unique beauty of northern Xinjiang’s mountainous regions.
Sayram Lake & Guozigou:As one of Xinjiang’s most famous alpine lakes, Sayram Lake has clear waters, with surrounding grasslands and flower seas blooming in summer. The Guozigou Bridge, a landmark transportation structure in Xinjiang, spans the canyon, offering stunning views.
Nalati Grassland:In 2026, the ticket price is 95 RMB, with shuttle bus options for the River Valley Line or the Sky Grassland Line. Wildflowers bloom in mid-June, and the grass turns golden by the end of September, making these two periods ideal for visits. Tourists can follow the route from the river valley grassland to the sky grassland, experiencing vegetation changes at different altitudes, and participate in special activities like herding trail exploration and horse milking. Altitudes above 3,000 meters may cause altitude sickness, so it is recommended to bring portable oxygen bottles.
Pamir Plateau Related Scenic Areas: From April 15, 2026, electronic border management area passes will be required for travel to the Pamir Plateau border region. Mainland residents aged 16 and above can apply for electronic passes valid for up to three months via the ‘Immigration 12367’ app, WeChat, or Alipay mini-programs. Those who have difficulty applying online can also apply at public security exit-entry administration agencies at or above the county level or at police stations. Along the route, you can see attractions like Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, Stone City, and Golden Grassland, as well as the stunning snow-capped peaks of Kongur Tagh and Muztagh Ata.
Kashgar Old City & Turpan Related Scenic Areas: Kashgar Old City retains traditional streets, buildings, and a vibrant local atmosphere. Cultural sites like Xiangfei Garden carry the region’s history and culture. Turpan’s Flaming Mountain, Grape Manor, and Karez Well showcase southern Xinjiang’s arid climate and unique water management wisdom.
