🚂 [Xinjiang Special Train ‘Dahezhinan’ | Departing from Zhengzhou · 17-Day South and North Xinjiang Panoramic Slow Travel Guide]
As the 2026 peak travel season approaches, more and more tourists are choosing to explore Xinjiang in depth via special railway trains. Compared to the traditional group tour model with frequent transfers and exhausting travel, the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train departs from Zhengzhou, with a ‘train follows passengers, fixed berth’ setup throughout the journey. Sightseeing during the day and traveling at night saves the hassle of moving luggage and ensures a relaxed and comfortable travel pace. It is especially suitable for family trips, group travel, or elderly travelers who value comfort.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Dahezhinan’ special train focuses on a 17-day panoramic tour of South and North Xinjiang (Duku Highway version), covering Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes in one trip: from the oasis culture of Turpan to the snowy mountains and lakes of the Pamir Plateau; from the four-seasons-in-one spectacle of the Duku Highway to the primeval forests and autumn scenery of Kanas and Hemu; and to the azure shores of Sayram Lake and the bustling streets of Liuxing Street in Yining — without multiple trips, you can experience the rich layers of Xinjiang’s nature and culture.
Areas covered by the train route include:
Southern Xinjiang Section:Turpan (Karez Well, Flaming Mountain, Grape Valley), Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau (Karakul Lake, Stone City, Golden Grassland), Tashkurgan County
Central Highlights:Southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, Tianshan Grand Canyon, Bayanbulak Grassland, Nalati Valley Grassland
Northern Xinjiang Scenery:Sayram Lake, Horgos Port, Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Colorful Beach, Tianshan Tianchi
It’s worth noting that the Duku Highway is recommended to be open for a few months each year (usually from early June to the end of September), heavily influenced by weather and road conditions. This route includes it as a core itinerary, but actual access will change dynamically based on that year’s policies and road conditions. If temporarily closed, the travel agency will negotiate reasonable alternatives with tourists.
