🚂 Slow Pace · Deep Experience｜2026 Xinjiang Sunset Red Tourism Special Train Schedule Released!
As spring transitions to summer, Xinjiang welcomes its golden travel season with pleasant weather and abundant scenery. Targeting middle-aged and elderly tourists who value comfort and rhythm, multiple ‘Sunset Red’ themed special trains in 2026 have successively announced new schedules. These special trains feature core advantages such as ‘travel by night, sightsee by day, luggage stays on board, no need to change berths.’ During the day, focus on visiting scenic spots, and at night, sleep soundly on the smooth train, significantly reducing the bumps of long-distance bus rides and the hassle of frequently moving luggage, truly achieving a relaxed and slow tour of northern and southern Xinjiang.
📍 Route or Destination Detailed Introduction
The Sunset Red tourism special trains operating in 2026 mainly cover three major regions: Eastern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang, and Southern Xinjiang, connecting Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes. The itinerary passes through famous scenic spots such as Turpan’s Flaming Mountain, Karez Well, Kuqa’s Keziliya Grand Canyon, Kashgar Ancient City,白沙湖 (Baisha Lake), Muztagh Ata Peak, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and Kanas Lake. These places have diverse landforms—snow-capped mountains and lakes, grasslands and wetlands, desert oases, canyons and ancient cities—with varying scenery in all four seasons, especially suitable for tourists who want to see the essence of Xinjiang in one trip.
The special train uses air-conditioned tourist train formations, with carriages equipped with soft sleepers and hard sleepers, and some room types have private bathrooms. During the day, tourists transfer from the special train stop to ground transportation to enter scenic spots, and return to the train to rest at night. Ground transfers uniformly use 7-seat to 55-seat tourist buses, flexibly allocated according to group size, ensuring spacious seating and wide views. All vehicle models are air-conditioned to ensure travel comfort.
