🚂 Xinjiang Train Tour ‘Kunlun’｜Read This Booking Guide Before Signing Up
Want to slowly travel through northern and southern Xinjiang on one train, seeing snowy mountains, lakes, grasslands, and ancient cities, without frequently moving luggage or changing hotels? In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist train is taking you on an immersive experience of the vast and magnificent western region scenery with a ‘residential slow travel’ pace. Unlike the rushed pace of traditional group tours, this 14-day panoramic journey moves ‘home’ onto the tracks—exploring key attractions in depth during the day, and sleeping comfortably in cozy cabins while traveling thousands of miles at night, truly achieving ‘the train moves with the scenery, people travel within a painting’.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights Introduction
The ‘Kunlun’ tourist train was created by the Urumqi Railway Department in 2023. It is a high-end air-conditioned tourist train, positioned as a long-distance leisure slow travel product. The route spans across the Tianshan Mountains, connecting Turpan, Kuqa, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Ili River Valley, Altay, and other most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang.
From the blazing red rocks of the Flaming Mountains to the clear tranquility of Baisha Lake, from the steep grandeur of the Duku Highway to the autumn secret scenery of Kanas Lake (lush green in summer), and then to the azure blue waters of Sayram Lake, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean’, each stop showcases the unique charm of Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes.
The areas the train passes through include deserts, oases, snowy mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cities. Tourists do not need to frequently change hotels or endure long-distance bus bumps. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly groups and family travelers who want an in-depth experience, value comfort, and prefer a slow pace. The cabins are decorated with folk-style soft furnishings from various ethnic groups, creating a warm atmosphere, while also equipped with desks, sofas, wardrobes, and other facilities, balancing practicality and aesthetics.
