Tianfu Express: A 15-day in-depth journey through Xinjiang’s mobile scenic route 🚂✨
[Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination]
Xinjiang, a land that accounts for one-sixth of China’s total land area, has always been a “poem and distant place” in the hearts of travelers. In 2026, Xinjiang tourism continues to heat up, and the Tianfu Express, with its innovative “train + car” model, connects scattered attractions into a flowing scenic route. This express train features customized soft sleeper carriages, with each carriage recommended to have 3-4 private compartments equipped with bathrooms, constant temperature air conditioning, and large observation windows, allowing travelers to enjoy privacy while on the move.
The express train is specially designed with a “daytime stop, nighttime travel” mode: deep exploration of attractions during the day and slow train travel at night, saving time and avoiding the fatigue of long-distance travel. The carriage is staffed with a professional tour guide team to provide explanations of ethnic history and geography along the way, and organize interactive activities such as intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and starry sky photography. According to the latest 2026 data, Xinjiang’s railway department has optimized the express train schedule to align as seamlessly as possible with the opening hours of scenic spots.
