🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The ‘Dahe Zhi Nan Hao’ 17-day panoramic special train route through North and South Xinjiang traverses the hinterland of Yellow River culture and both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, covering Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes. The itinerary balances the ecological grandeur of Northern Xinjiang with the historical depth of Southern Xinjiang, connecting snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and ancient cities, showcasing the diverse features of the vast territory.
From the Karez irrigation system and Flaming Mountain in Turpan, experience the wisdom of oasis civilization; to the old city of Kashgar and the Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb, appreciate the cultural fusion of this important Silk Road town; then delve deep into the Pamir Plateau, gaze at Karakul Lake beneath Muztagh Ata, and explore the historical imprints of the Stone City and Golden Grassland. The Northern Xinjiang section traverses the essence of the Duku Highway, passing through the Tianshan Grand Canyon, the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, and the Nalati River Valley Grassland, finally arriving at the ‘fairy tale world’ of Kanas and Hemu Village. On the return trip, Tianchi Lake and the Urumqi Grand Bazaar are arranged, fully presenting Xinjiang’s geographical diversity and vibrant life.
The entire journey adopts a ‘travel by day, sleep by night’ model, with 6–8 hours of sightseeing daily, at a relaxed pace to avoid long-distance travel. Land transfers are handled by a professional fleet, ensuring visitors can reach areas that regular groups find hard to cover frequently, such as the Duku Highway and the Pamir Plateau.
