Xingyao Tianshan Express:New Experience Guide for Xinjiang Parent-Child Special Train (2026 Edition)
🌄 Why has the Xinjiang Parent-Child Special Train become a new favorite for family travel?
In the summer of 2026, Xinjiang Railway Department, in collaboration with cultural tourism enterprises, launched the “Xingyao Tianshan Express” themed train. This specially designed family tourism train has become a dark horse in the parent-child travel market with its innovative model of “mobile star-rated hotel + in-depth destinations.” The train adopts a newly upgraded 25T-type carriage, equipped with bathrooms, constant temperature air conditioning, and children’s seats throughout. Each carriage features a parent-child interaction area with picture books, educational toys, and a maternal and child care station.
The train is designed with a golden time slot of “sightseeing during the day and traveling at night,” with scenic spot visits scheduled from 7:00 to 21:00 daily, and returning to the train for rest after 22:00. The train windows feature panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass, equipped with professional explanation headphones, allowing children to learn geographical knowledge during the journey. Each carriage is staffed with two certified childcare specialists who provide value-added services such as childcare and homework tutoring.
