🚞 In 2026, traveling by special train across the Tianshan Mountains has become a new choice for many tourists. Among the multi-level train tour products launched by Xinjiang Railway this year, the Silk Road Dream Express, as a high-end representative, has attracted attention from tourists planning in-depth tours of Xinjiang due to its route covering core landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang and comfortable mobile living configurations.
📍 Detailed Route Introduction
Xinjiang has a vast territory, with significant differences in scenery and cultural characteristics across regions. If you choose conventional road travel, you will spend a long time on the road each day, which can easily lead to fatigue. The Silk Road Dream Express adopts a ‘special train + local shuttle bus’ travel mode, where long-distance travel is entirely handled by the train. Tourists do not need to frequently pack luggage or change hotels, nor endure the fatigue of long road bumps, significantly improving comfort during the journey. In 2026, the Xinjiang train tours have undergone a complete hardware upgrade, with the train body using more advanced sand-proof and noise-reduction designs. The cabins are well-equipped with facilities, including a leisure dining car, basic medical staff on board, and a professional catering service team. During the journey, you can enjoy the ease of mobile living, taste Xinjiang’s specialty cuisine at any time, and participate in cultural experience activities arranged at certain times, making the journey itself part of the travel experience.
This route connects more than ten characteristic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang, covering natural landscapes, cultural history, and folk experiences: you can take a boat ride at Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain to see snow-capped mountains reflected in the lake, watch wildflowers bloom across the Nalati Grassland, drive along the ring road of Sayram Lake to see the clear lake contrasting with distant snow mountains, watch morning mist drift over the village from a wooden house in Hemu, see the color-changing lake water flowing along the river valley in Kanas, experience the unique landscape of desert and lake intertwined at the Lop Nur Village, stroll through the streets of Kashgar Old City to feel the local atmosphere, enjoy the pure scenery of highland lakes at Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake, and feel the heat of Flaming Mountain in Turpan while learning about the Karez irrigation system, a project passed down for thousands of years. The 10-plus-day itinerary allows you to experience the characteristics of different regions of Xinjiang at once, without needing to split trips, saving transportation and time costs.
According to the latest 2026 Xinjiang scenic area policies, Kanas Scenic Area has canceled the reservation system, allowing tourists to buy tickets directly upon entry; Sayram Lake’s self-drive tickets are limited during peak season, so it is recommended to confirm your itinerary and book early; all scenic areas require valid ID for entry, so be sure to carry it with you during travel. The temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is generally over 10 degrees Celsius. Even in summer, it is advisable to bring a medium-weight jacket. UV levels are high, so prepare sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat. The climate is dry, so carry moisturizing products and plenty of drinking water.
