🌾 From June to September 2026, it’s a popular period for viewing Xinjiang’s natural scenery, from the continuous flower seas of the Yili River Valley to the primitive forest areas at the foot of the Altai Mountains, from the clear lakes of the Pamir Plateau to the unique folk customs of the Turpan Basin. The scenic belt spanning over a thousand kilometers across northern and southern Xinjiang attracts a large number of tourists every year. Many travelers planning long-distance trips encounter a common issue:Due to the long distances between Xinjiang’s attractions, frequently changing hotels and moving luggage can consume a lot of travel energy. The Silk Road Dream Train, which focuses on a one-stop connection of core attractions in northern and southern Xinjiang, has thus become a key product for many tourists when planning their itineraries.
The Silk Road Dream Train’s itinerary covers a variety of popular landscapes in Xinjiang, including mountain lakes, grasslands, forests, and Gobi desert landforms, as well as cultural attractions like ancient cities, folk villages, and intangible cultural heritage exhibition halls. Tourists don’t need to plan cross-regional transportation connections themselves or repeatedly pack luggage for accommodation changes. The itinerary pace is relatively relaxed, suitable for tourists who want to experience the core features of northern and southern Xinjiang in one trip. Based on recent operational tips for Xinjiang scenic spots in 2026, the Kanas and Hemu areas will implement a reservation-based entry mechanism during peak summer and autumn tourist seasons. If traveling independently, tourists need to book tickets days in advance, while group tours have staff uniformly reserve tickets in advance, saving the hassle of grabbing tickets. In 2026, Sayram Lake Scenic Area has also extended the allowable stay time for lake tours. During the arranged lake tour period, tourists have ample time to stroll along the lake and capture lake views from different angles. For the travel needs of foreign tourists, the itinerary has made corresponding scenic spot changes to ensure tourists of different identities can complete their visits smoothly. Xinjiang has a vast territory, and the travel time in the itinerary is longer compared to domestic tourism products. The sleeper berths on the special train allow tourists to rest fully during long-distance travel without spending long hours on buses, enhancing overall comfort.

⚠ ️ Travel-related tips:
Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night, high UV intensity, and a relatively dry climate. It’s recommended to bring sunscreen, moisturizing products, and clothing suitable for different temperatures for easy adjustment.
Valid identification documents must be carried at all times, as they are needed for hotel check-in, entering scenic spots, and using public transportation. It’s advisable to back up ID photos on your phone for emergencies.
Attractions involving border areas in the itinerary require a prior permit. Tourists can consult staff before traveling to assist with preparing relevant application materials.
Foreign tourists should confirm in advance that visa requirements comply with current regulations. The Lop Nur Village attraction in the itinerary will be replaced with Bosten Lake + Bazhou Museum.
Summer and autumn are popular seasons for Xinjiang tourism. In case of peak tourist flows at scenic spots or temporary road service guidance, some tour segments may be reordered based on actual conditions without reducing core tour content.
Xinjiang’s local cuisine differs somewhat from inland areas. If you have dietary preferences or restrictions, inform staff in advance to try to accommodate.
