🚂 Complete registration process for the Sunset Red Xinjiang special train, official website channel direct access (2026 new perspective)
Want to explore the Tianshan Mountains from north to south in one trip with a relaxed pace, no luggage moving, and fixed berths? In 2026, the ‘Sunset Red’ themed tourism special train is becoming a new choice for more and more middle-aged and elderly friends. Unlike traditional group tours with frequent transfers and luggage handling, this special train adopts a ‘travel by night, tour by day’ mode—focus on sightseeing during the day, sleep soundly on the smoothly running train at night, truly achieving ‘lying down to see Xinjiang’.

✨ Warm tips
The special train is not a regular 12306 train ticket; it is an integrated tourism product that needs to be booked through travel agency channels;
Popular schedules (such as May and September) have tight berth availability, so early confirmation is recommended;
Popular road sections like Duku Highway and Ahe Highway are greatly affected by seasons; they may not be fully open in early May, and the itinerary may be temporarily changed to flight connections to ensure tour completeness;
All ethnic names are uniformly expressed as ‘various ethnic groups’, respecting multiculturalism, focusing on experience rather than labeling.
In 2026, let travel return to ease. A Sunset Red special train takes you on a slow tour of 22 highlights in Xinjiang, sightseeing by day, sleeping by night, luggage unmoved, berth unchanged—this might be the rhythm retirement life should have.
