🚂 2026 Yangtze River Delta Star Xinjiang Special Train Tour | Booking Guide
——Slowly Traveling the Silk Road, Watching the Western Regions’ Mountains and Rivers from the Train Tracks
🌄 In-depth Experience of Routes and Destinations:A Moving Feast of Scenery
In 2026, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train tour redefines railway travel with a ‘hotel-style train + in-depth exploration’ model. This 18-day journey spans from East China to the Northwest, connecting the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang, from the edge of the Taklamakan Desert to the lakes of the Pamir Plateau, from the grasslands of the Tianshan Mountains to the northern edge of the Junggar Basin. The entire trip follows a ‘travel by day, sleep by night’ rhythm, with immersive exploration during the day and rest in exclusive cabins at night, avoiding the hassle of frequent luggage moving and transfers.
The itinerary covers diverse and rich areas: the southern Xinjiang section delves into Kashgar Old City, Baisha Lake, and Karakul Lake, experiencing the tranquility of oasis civilization and plateau lakes; the northern Xinjiang section visits Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Hemu Village, and Kanas, enjoying the ecological tapestry of snow-capped mountains, forests, and lakes; the eastern Xinjiang section explores Tianshan Tianchi, overlooking the snowline of Bogda Peak. Along the way, it also passes iconic areas like the Duku Highway, the banks of the Tarim River, and the Lop Nur Village, combining geological wonders, water ecosystems, and historical sites.
It is worth mentioning that the special train passes through multiple locations in Gansu and Xinjiang, but the entire trip does not include high-intensity hiking or long car rides. Scenic area transfers mostly use comfortable buses, suitable for the travel pace of middle-aged, elderly, and family tourists. All scenic spot visits are based on the 2026 scenic area opening policies. In case of force majeure factors such as weather, traffic, or temporary service guidance, the travel agency will negotiate with tourists to change the itinerary order or replace with equivalent scenic spots within a reasonable range.
