In today’s fast-paced life, more and more people are yearning for a travel style of ‘seeing sights by day, sleeping soundly by night’—no need to frequently move luggage, no need to worry about changing hotels, just enjoy the scenery and deep experiences along the way.

The ‘Chengdu’ train itinerary spans the essence of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, from the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the ancient city streets of Kashgar, from Muztagh Ata on the Pamir Plateau to the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, then through Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Hemu Village, and finally to Tianchi Lake of the Tianshan Mountains—covering almost all of Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes.
The train adopts a ‘travel by day, sleep by night’ model: stops during the day for tourists to explore, and runs smoothly at night to the next stop, allowing passengers to sleep soundly in their private compartments. No need to repeatedly check in or move luggage throughout the trip, greatly reducing travel fatigue. The carriages are built to high-star resort standards, equipped with bathrooms, temperature control systems, 24-hour hot water, and smart service facilities, creating the comfort of a ‘mobile hotel’.
