🌄 In-depth experience of routes and destinations
The ‘Dahezhinan’ 17-day full southern and northern Xinjiang tour (Duku version) is a classic route covering the natural and cultural essence of Xinjiang. Starting from the Central Plains, the journey heads westward, deep into the hinterlands of the Tianshan Mountains, linking the scorching oases of Turpan, the snowy lakes of the Pamir Plateau, the seasonal changes of the Duku Highway, the grasslands and flower seas of the Ili River Valley, and the fairy-tale秘境 of Kanas in northern Xinjiang.
Along the way, you can explore the ancient water conservancy wonder of Karez, stroll through Grape Valley to enjoy the fragrance of melons and fruits; touch the texture of the millennium-old city in Kashgar’s old town; traverse the Duku Highway, known as one of ‘China’s most beautiful roads,’ seeing snow-capped mountains, canyons, and grasslands in a single day; stop by Sayram Lake to see the blue water reflecting clouds; and finally arrive at Kanas to encounter the misty lake and mountain scenery. The entire route balances landscape diversity and cultural immersion, with a relaxed pace suitable for tourists who want deep exploration rather than check-in style travel.
The train itself is also a highlight:The entire train is equipped with bathroom compartments, uses noise-reduction technology and age-friendly design, has a dedicated dining car, multi-functional entertainment car (including audio-visual, chess and card, karaoke, etc.), and a professional chef team providing hot meals, balancing nutrition and regional flavors. The train also has a train butler and accompanying service staff to enhance travel comfort and peace of mind.
