🚂 Slowly travel through Xinjiang on a ‘mobile hotel’ — The 17-day panoramic journey of the Dahezhinan train is about to depart
Want to visit the snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cities of northern and southern Xinjiang in one trip, without constantly changing hotels or dragging luggage? In spring and summer 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train departs from Zhengzhou, following a rhythm of ‘travel by day, move by night, train follows people,’ taking you deep into the heart of Xinjiang without needing to switch accommodations, truly achieving immersive slow travel.
This train is not an ordinary passenger train, but a packaged tourism product integrating transportation, accommodation, some meals, and guide services. The entire train features hotel-style compartment designs, equipped with bathrooms, quiet carriages, and multifunctional entertainment spaces, especially suitable for family trips, group outings with friends and relatives, and middle-aged and elderly groups. The carriage interiors incorporate Central Plains cultural elements such as Yangshao painted pottery, Longmen Grottoes, and the Qingming Riverside Scroll, earning it the title of ‘a walking Central Plains cultural living room.’
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights:One journey, diverse landscapes
The ‘Dahezhinan’ connects three major regions: Eastern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, and Northern Xinjiang, covering cultural relics, plateau lakes, grassland valleys, canyon secrets, and border ports, with an itinerary balancing natural scenery and cultural experiences:
Turpan Area:Explore the ancient water conservancy project Karez Well, experience the red Danxia landform of the Flaming Mountains, and stroll through the Grape Valley oasis. The mild climate in May makes it ideal for an initial exploration of the Western Regions.
Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau:Wander through the alleys of Kashgar’s old city, visit the Fragrant Concubine Garden; delve into the Pamir Plateau, visit Karakul Lake, Stone Fortress, Golden Grassland, and White Sand Lake, where lake and mountain views complement the vast plateau wilderness.
Duku Highway Section: The Duku Highway is expected to open by the end of May 2026, and the train itinerary aligns with this opening period, allowing visits to the southern and middle sections, passing through the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon, Bayanbulak Grassland (expected to open in late May), and Nalati Valley Grassland, offering a panoramic view of landscapes that change every ten miles.
Yili and Northern Xinjiang: Sayram Lake is fully open in May, with the lake thawing and wildflowers beginning to bloom; Horgos Port offers views of the border landscape; Kanas and Hemu resume operations from May 1st, with fresh greenery and fewer tourists, ideal for off-peak visits; before returning, you can also visit Tianshan Tianchi and Urumqi International Grand Bazaar.
The entire journey uses a ‘travel by day, move by night’ model, with long-distance travel arranged at night and daytime focused on sightseeing, significantly reducing travel fatigue.
