Tired of the travel pace of rushing between attractions, changing hotels, and dragging luggage? In 2026, try a different approach. Board the ‘Dahe Zhi Nan Hao’ tourist train departing from Zhengzhou, and with the relaxed style of ‘travel by day, sleep by night, one train all the way,’ delve deep into the northern and southern regions of Xinjiang, seeing snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cities all at once. This train is not just a means of transportation but a mobile comfortable living space, especially suitable for family trips, middle-aged and elderly groups, and travelers seeking a slow-paced experience.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights:A single journey across Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes
The ‘Dahe Zhi Nan Hao’ is jointly created by China Railway Zhengzhou Group and professional cultural tourism institutions, positioned as a ‘mobile hotel + cultural tourism living room.’ The train departs from Zhengzhou Station, travels west along the Longhai Line, passes through Luoyang, Xi’an, and Lanzhou into Xinjiang, covering core areas of northern and southern Xinjiang such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, and Urumqi.
The entire journey adopts a ‘daytime sightseeing, nighttime travel’ model. Tourists can immerse themselves in magnificent natural and cultural landscapes during the day and sleep peacefully in soft sleeper compartments at night, without needing to move luggage daily or frequently change accommodations. The train is equipped with a dedicated dining car, multi-functional entertainment car (including audio-visual, chess and card games, karaoke), and a professional chef team provides meals that balance Central Plains flavors with Xinjiang cuisine. The carriages feature non-slip flooring, barrier-free passages, emergency call devices, and are accompanied by medical staff, with details reflecting thoughtful consideration for elderly-friendly travel.
Xinjiang has pleasant weather from May to September. In May, southern Xinjiang is lush and green; from June to August, northern Xinjiang’s grasslands are verdant and lakes are clear; in September, autumn colors begin to appear, all being golden periods suitable for travel throughout the year.
