As the demand for silver-haired travel continues to rise, more and more middle-aged and elderly friends are choosing railway travel with a gentle pace and comprehensive services. In 2026, Xinjiang will launch multiple ‘Sunset Red’ themed tourism special trains, adopting a model of ‘departing in the evening, arriving in the morning, playing during the day, and sleeping peacefully at night,’ connecting the core scenic areas across the Tianshan Mountains, making the journey less rushed and more experiential. This article focuses on one of the currently available mainstream routes—the Kunlun 14-day Northern and Southern Xinjiang Grand Loop itinerary, combined with the latest 2026 schedules and service details, to provide practical references for friends planning to travel.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The ‘Kunlun’ tourism special train was first launched in 2023, with further optimized routes and service standards in 2026. The entire journey starts and ends in Urumqi, spanning major scenic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang, covering various landform types such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, ancient cities, and deserts. The route does not backtrack, truly achieving ‘one train traversing the western regions.’
Key highlights of the itinerary include:Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland in northern Xinjiang; Kashgar Ancient City, Baisha Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, and Kuqa Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon in southern Xinjiang; as well as the southern section of the Duku Highway and Pamir Plateau scenery. Unlike traditional bus tours that require hours of driving each day, the ‘Kunlun’ adopts a model of night travel and daytime sightseeing, effectively saving energy and enhancing the viewing experience.
Ground transfers uniformly use 7-seat business vehicles, with no more than 5 people per vehicle, ensuring comfortable seating and freedom for sightseeing. For group tourists, 9-seat, 19-seat, 35-seat, or 55-seat air-conditioned tourist buses can also be arranged according to group size, meeting the needs of different scales.
