🚂 Xinjiang Tourism Dahezhinan Train | Zhengzhou Departure Registration Guide (2026 New Perspective)
Want to cross Xinjiang in a more relaxed way? No need to drive yourself, no frequent hotel changes, no repeated luggage moving—in 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourism train, like a ‘mobile resort hotel,’ departs from Zhengzhou, taking you westward deep into the Tianshan Mountains, north and south. This 17-day journey doesn’t just connect classic destinations like Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Duku Highway, Sayram Lake, and Kanas; it also adopts a ‘travel by day, rest by night’ rhythm, making the trip truly comfortable and in-depth.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The ‘Dahezhinan’ is a panoramic slow-travel itinerary spanning northern and southern Xinjiang. Starting from Zhengzhou, it stops at Luoyang, Xi’an, and Lanzhou before entering Xinjiang. The route cleverly blends natural scenery and cultural landscapes, covering the snowy mountains, lakes, grasslands, and forests of northern Xinjiang, as well as the historic ancient cities and highland mysteries of southern Xinjiang.
In Turpan, you’ll explore the millennia-old water conservancy wonder of Karez, gaze at the Flaming Mountains from ‘Journey to the West,’ and stroll through the Grape Valley to enjoy the cool shade;
Arriving in Kashgar, the bustling streets of the old city greet you, the Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb tells historical stories, and the Id Kah Mosque showcases architectural beauty;
Driving along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway to the Pamir Plateau, Karakul Lake reflects Muztagh Ata, while the Stone City and Golden Grassland paint a tranquil border scene;
Crossing the Duku Highway (southern and middle sections), one of China’s most beautiful roads, you’ll experience four seasons in a day and different skies every ten miles;
On the Nalati and Bayanbulak grasslands, the vast green fields and the sunset at the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns are mesmerizing;
Northern Xinjiang highlights like the azure Sayram Lake, the ‘self-reserved land’ of Kanas, the fairy-tale village of Hemu, and the colorful Wucaitan (Rainbow Beach) will also be presented one by one;
Before returning, you can ascend to Tianchi Lake on the Tianshan Mountains, feel the clarity of the alpine lake by the ‘Jade Pool,’ and finally visit the Urumqi International Grand Bazaar to conclude the journey perfectly.
