🚂 Slow travel through Xinjiang, a 17-day poetic journey on wheels — The ‘Dahe Zhi Nan’ special train sets off anew in 2026
Tired of the traditional group tour pace of constantly changing hotels, lugging luggage, and rushing to attractions? In the spring and summer of 2026, a special tourism train with the concept of ‘a mobile comfortable residence’ — the ‘Dahe Zhi Nan’ — is slowly heading towards the vast landscapes of Xinjiang. It’s not just a train, but a mobile驿站 integrating accommodation, dining, and entertainment, taking you through the Tianshan Mountains at a relaxed pace, allowing you to see the heat of Eastern Xinjiang, the ancient charm of Southern Xinjiang, and the mysteries of Northern Xinjiang all at once.
🌄 Detailed introduction to routes and destinations
The ‘Dahe Zhi Nan’ 17-day full Southern and Northern Xinjiang tour (Duku version) carefully connects Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes. The itinerary covers core areas such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu Village, and Tianchi Lake of Tianshan Mountain, spanning a wide geographical range with rich content without being rushed.
In Turpan, you will visit the millennium-old water conservancy wonder Karez Well, gaze up at the fiery red Flaming Mountain, and stroll under the green vine trellises of Grape Valley; entering the old city of Kashgar, you’ll wander through the intricately arranged traditional alleys, feeling the local烟火 atmosphere; along the Pamir Plateau, Karakul Lake mirrors the Muztagh Ata Peak like a mirror, while the Stone City silently tells tales of the Silk Road; the Duku Highway (southern and middle sections) presents a geological wonder of ‘seeing four seasons in one day’ — snow-capped mountains, canyons, forests, and grasslands unfold outside the window one after another; in Northern Xinjiang, Kanas Lake shifts between blue and green hues with the changing light, Hemu Village’s morning mist wraps around wooden houses like a fairy tale; and Sayram Lake is crystal clear like a tear, with wildflowers blooming by the lakeside in summer, making it an ideal spot for photography and contemplation.
The entire journey adopts a ‘travel by day, sleep by night, train follows people’ model:Visit key attractions during the day, sleep soundly on the smoothly moving special train at night, without repeatedly packing luggage, greatly saving energy, especially suitable for families, friends traveling together, or travelers who value comfort during the trip.
> Note:The specific itinerary may be reasonably adjusted based on objective factors such as weather, road conditions, or scenic area availability, with mutual agreement from both parties.
