🚂 Traveling through Xinjiang by Train｜Tianshan No. 13-Day Panoramic Tour, One Train to See All of the Western Regions
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, how can you efficiently and comfortably traverse the highlights of Northern and Southern Xinjiang? The ‘Tianshan’ tourist train offers a unique solution—using the train as a mobile home, departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, switching to buses during the day to explore scenic spots, saving the hassle of frequently moving luggage and changing hotels. In 2026, this classic route continues to upgrade, covering Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes from Kanas Lake in Northern Xinjiang to the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang, from the grasslands of the Ili River Valley to the Flaming Mountains of Turpan.
🌄 Route Highlights:One Journey, See the Beauty of All Four Seasons in Xinjiang
The ‘Tianshan’ is not an ordinary train but a comfortable sleeper train customized for tourism, equipped with compartments, bathrooms (in some room types), soundproof design, and dedicated service staff. The itinerary spans the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, covering alpine lakes, forest grasslands, desert oases, canyon rivers, and historic districts. Visitors can experience the clarity of ‘the last tear of the Atlantic’ at Sailimu Lake, enjoy the magnificent four seasons in one day on the southern section of the Duku Highway, and stroll through the ancient Silk Road heritage in Kashgar’s Old City.
Current season (late April 2026): Northern Xinjiang is just beginning to show spring, and apricot blossoms in Southern Xinjiang have faded, but the grasslands are turning green and the lake waters are warming up—making it an ideal time for off-peak travel. Summer schedules will enter the optimal viewing period, especially from June to early September, when Kanas Lake ripples with blue waves, Nalati Grassland is covered in blooming flowers, and Bayinbuluke’s Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns reflect the sunset, offering a visually stunning experience.
Please note that some sections, such as the Duku Highway, are affected by climate and are typically open from early June to the end of September. Specific traffic conditions are subject to announcements from local transportation authorities. In case of temporary restrictions, the travel agency will negotiate with tourists to adjust the itinerary order or provide alternatives, ensuring the best possible experience.
