[New National Train:A Moving Scenic Route Through Northern and Southern Xinjiang 🌄]
Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination
Xinjiang, a land that accounts for one-sixth of China’s territory, is a treasure trove where nature and culture intertwine. In 2026, the New National Train’s Northern and Southern Xinjiang Special Train redefines travel with the concept of a ‘mobile star-rated hotel’—featuring 4-person soft sleeper compartments equipped with bathrooms, charging ports, and large observation windows, allowing travelers to traverse the Tianshan Mountains in comfort. The train operates on a ‘train follows people’ model, stopping at core scenic spots during the day and traveling at night to save time, eliminating the need for frequent luggage handling, making it especially suitable for elderly travelers and family trips.
The special train route covers the highlights of Northern and Southern Xinjiang: Starting from Urumqi, it follows the ancient Silk Road to explore Turpan’s Flaming Mountains and Karez Irrigation System, traverses the world’s first desert loop railway—the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway—deep into the Kunlun Mountains; experiences the folk customs of the thousand-year-old city of Kashgar and the Fragrant Concubine’s Garden, crosses the Tianshan Mountains along the southern section of the Duoku Road, encounters the spruces of Nalati Grassland and the ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic’ at Sayram Lake; and finally arrives at Kanas and Hemu, witnessing the autumn fairy tale of Northern Xinjiang in the Tuva wooden houses.
Currently, the special train has been specially upgraded with ‘Heartwarming Services’:Urumqi Station provides a ‘Red Hat’ luggage handling team to assist from station entry to boarding, resolving the hassle of handling large luggage; each group is equipped with certified guides and medical personnel to respond to emergencies such as altitude sickness, ensuring a more worry-free journey.
