New National Train North and South Xinjiang Special Tour:2026 National Day Golden Week Immersive Experience Guide
🌄 [Route Highlights:A Moving Scenic Feast Across North and South Xinjiang]
Xinjiang, a land that accounts for one-sixth of China’s territory, is renowned worldwide for its diverse landscapes interwoven with snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and lakes. In 2026, the New National Train North and South Xinjiang Special Train, centered on “mobile in-depth travel,” upgrades traditional rail travel into an immersive experience of “train + destination.” The train features customized carriage designs, with 4-person compartments equipped with bathrooms, observation windows, and charging facilities, allowing travelers to enjoy private space while capturing the scenery along the way during the 14-day journey.
The route covers classic destinations such as Urumqi, Turpan, Kashgar, and Kanas, while also delving into lesser-known hidden gems like Hotan, Cele, and Nalati. From the vastness of the Taklimakan Desert to the mystery of Kanas Lake, from the vibrant atmosphere of Kashgar’s ancient city to the fairy-tale wooden houses of Hemu Village, the train connects Xinjiang’s most exquisite natural and cultural landscapes. In 2026, the train has specially optimized its itinerary through the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway, the world’s first desert-loop railway, offering travelers a close-up view of the coexistence miracle between desert and oasis.
