Explore deeply during the day, and sleep peacefully in a mobile comfortable space at night. The ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train is exactly such an immersive slow travel vehicle that integrates transportation, accommodation, dining, and social interaction, taking you leisurely through the magnificent mountains and rivers of northern and southern Xinjiang.
I. Detailed Introduction to the ‘Dahezhinan’ Special Train
The ‘Dahezhinan’ is a domestic special tourist train focusing on long-distance leisure slow travel. It is jointly created by professional travel agencies and railway resources, designed for middle-aged, elderly, and family groups seeking comfort, convenience, and in-depth experiences. The train adopts the classic model of ‘traveling at night, sightseeing during the day.’ The 17-day itinerary covers Xinjiang’s core scenic areas, from the scorching Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the snowy lakes of the Pamir Plateau; from the seasonal changes of the Duku Highway to the fairy-tale autumn colors of Kanas (also lush green in summer), truly achieving ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people are in the painting.’
The entire journey eliminates the need for repeated check-ins, luggage handling, or intercity transfers. All accommodation is completed within the special train compartments, greatly reducing travel fatigue. The train is equipped with a dedicated service team providing full-trip companion service, allowing travel to return to relaxation and comfort.
