If you want to visit 80% of Xinjiang’s精华 (essence can be translated directly here as ‘must-see’) attractions in one trip without the hassle of constant transfers, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist train is your ‘mobile resort hotel.’ This air-conditioned train, launched by Urumqi in 2023, features 8 sleeping cars designed to be ‘small yet exquisite,’ revolutionizing traditional train travel—soft sleeper cabins include en-suite bathrooms, desks, sofas, and even wardrobes, with soft furnishings incorporating Xinjiang’s intangible cultural heritage elements like Atlas silk and wood carvings. Even the lighting mimics the warm yellow tones of Kashgar’s ancient city. What’s more, the train operates on a ‘train follows people’ model, traveling at night and allowing sightseeing during the day, eliminating the need to pack daily and truly enabling you to ‘tour Xinjiang while lying down.’
