🌄 Detailed Route or Destination Introduction
Xinjiang, covering about one-sixth of China’s land area, boasts diverse landscapes. The ‘three mountains and two basins’ structure creates the beauty of Northern Xinjiang and the grandeur of Southern Xinjiang. The Comfort train’s carefully designed route covers core areas like Altay, Ili, Kashgar, and Turpan, blending natural wonders with cultural heritage.
Northern Xinjiang Section:From the clear reflections of Heavenly Lake (Tianchi) to the birch forests in Hemu Village’s morning mist; from the emerald waters of Kanas Lake (including a boat ride) to the colorful rock layers of Rainbow Beach at sunset—all showcasing the elegance of the Altai Mountains.
Ili River Valley:Sayram Lake, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ offers a lakeside journey with breathtaking views; the Nalati Grassland, a green carpet in the heart of the Tianshan Mountains, invites horseback riding amidst drifting clouds.
Southern Xinjiang Section: Traverse the southern section of the Duku Highway (open from mid-June to mid-October 2026), explore the red cliffs of the Kizil Grand Canyon; arrive in Kashgar, wander through the old city streets, climb to the high-platform residences for a panoramic view of traditional settlements; venture to Tashkurgan, where White Sand Lake and Muztagh Ata peak echo each other, and the Golden Grassland and Stone City ruins tell tales of the Silk Road.
