🚂 Travel slowly through the Western Regions by train, leaving time for the scenery — the 2026 ‘Tianshan’ tourist train embarks on a new journey
The vastness of Xinjiang cannot be understood through a cursory glance. Snow-capped mountains and deserts coexist, grasslands and lakes face each other, and the weight of the thousand-year Silk Road intertwines with the烟火 of modern life. How can one delve into the essence of this land with a leisurely journey? The 2026 upgraded ‘Tianshan’ tourist train, with its unique rhythm of ‘departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, the train follows the travelers, and the travelers play while the train stops,’ offers an elegant solution for those seeking deep experiences.
🌄 Train Positioning:A mobile living space in Xinjiang
The ‘Tianshan’ is not an ordinary train but a round-Xinjiang tourist train product supported by China Railway Urumqi Group, focusing on comfort and cultural immersion. It starts and ends in Urumqi, connecting three major regions: Northern Xinjiang, the Ili River Valley, and Southern Xinjiang, covering core destinations like Altay, Yining, Kashgar, and Turpan, with a total duration of about 13 days.
This train primarily targets middle-aged and elderly travelers and families, emphasizing a relaxed rhythm of ‘no changing berths, no changing trains, traveling by night and sightseeing by day’ — exploring scenic spots during the day and sleeping in dedicated sleeper cars at night, eliminating the fatigue of frequent luggage handling and hotel changes. The carriages feature Xinjiang-style decorations, are equipped with basic medical emergency kits, and have accompanying service staff for coordination, making long-distance travel relaxed and textured.
🛏 ️ Seat Configuration:Multiple room types, balancing privacy and cost-effectiveness
In 2026, the ‘Tianshan’ uses an upgraded AC380V 25G air-conditioned train body with good soundproofing and sand-proofing performance. The carriages are divided into ‘Blue Diamond’ and ‘Silver Diamond’ series to meet different budgets and travel group needs:
🚂Travel slowly through the Western Regions by train, leaving time for the scenery — the 2026 ‘Tianshan’ tourist train embarks on a new journeySilver Diamond Presidential Suite:Approximately 12 sqm, with bathroom, sofa area, desk, wardrobe, and 24-hour hot water, suitable for two people seeking privacy and quality.
Executive Double Room:Approximately 9 sqm, with two lower berths, small fridge, electric curtains, and washing facilities, spacious and practical.
Silver Diamond Double Room:Approximately 8.5 sqm, with non-slip wooden flooring and two lower berths, balancing comfort and economy.

Blue Diamond Double Room / Blue Diamond Quad Room:Slightly smaller but fully equipped; some Blue Diamond quad rooms have different prices for upper and lower berths, with lower berths being more convenient.
All compartments are equipped with long-staple cotton bedding, USB charging ports, and reading lights. Some room types support connecting doors for family use. Public areas include a bar car (with bar counter, piano, karaoke area) and a multi-functional leisure car (with health massage and children’s play area) to enrich travel leisure time.
