📍 What is it like to travel across Xinjiang by train?
In 2026, the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train will continue to start and end in Urumqi, embarking on a deep journey across the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains. This route is not just a simple sightseeing trip; it’s more like a flowing landscape scroll—snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, ancient cities, river valleys… unfolding over 13 days. The entire journey follows the principle of ‘the train moves with you, you play while the train stops,’ eliminating the hassle of frequent transfers and luggage handling, making the trip truly relaxing and immersive.
🌄 Route or Destination Details
The ‘Tianshan’ train connects the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang. Starting from Urumqi, the first stop is Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain, known as the ‘Jade Pool,’ with its blue lake mirroring the Bogda snow peak. Then, it delves into the heart of northern Xinjiang, visiting Kanas Lake and Hemu Village, a hidden gem deep in the Altai Mountains, where forests, lakes, and Tuva wooden houses create a poetic picture.
Entering the Ili River Valley, Sayram Lake is like ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ with wildflowers blooming on its shores and the Guozigou Bridge spanning the canyon. The Nalati Grassland is lush and green, and the sunset at the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak is unforgettable. Heading south through the southern section of the Duku Highway, you reach Kashgar, an ancient city that retains its complete traditional neighborhood style. On the Pamir Plateau, Karakul Lake gazes at Muztagh Ata, Baisha Lake is serene like a painting, and a home visit in Tashkurgan lets you experience the warm hospitality of the locals.
On the return trip, the red rock formations of the Flaming Mountains, the grape estates of Turpan, and the Karez irrigation system tell the story of eastern Xinjiang’s history and ecology. The entire route covers the ‘Three Mountains and Two Basins’ geographical pattern, balancing the majestic scenery of northern Xinjiang with the rich culture of southern Xinjiang, making it ideal for tourists who want to see the best of Xinjiang in one trip.
