🚂 Slow Travel Through Mountains and Rivers, Dreaming on the Silk Road — 2026 ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ Special Train Deep Journey
As the spring and summer travel season of 2026 approaches, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourist special train, spanning east to west and showcasing mountains and rivers, continues to gain popularity. Many travelers planning summer trips have found that popular departure dates require booking 30 days in advance, and some room types are nearly fully booked. This 18-day immersive route, centered on the concept of ‘travel by day, rest by night, mobile hotel,’ is becoming the top choice for middle-aged and elderly tourists seeking comfort and deep experiences.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights Introduction
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train departs from Shanghai, heading west through the Hexi Corridor, deep into the Tianshan Mountains, connecting deserts, grasslands, lakes, snow-capped mountains, and historical cultural landscapes. The itinerary covers the essence of northern and southern Xinjiang: from Korla’s Tarim River and Lop Nur Village to the thousand-year-old streets of Kashgar’s Old City; from Karakul Lake and the Stone City on the Pamir Plateau to Nalati Grassland and Sayram Lake in the Ili River Valley, and then to Kanas, Hemu, and Colorful Beach in northern Xinjiang, with natural wonders unfolding layer by layer.
Notably, the special train is designed with comfort and rhythm in mind. Daytime offers moderate sightseeing, while nighttime travel allows for rest, avoiding the fatigue of frequent luggage handling and bus transfers. The itinerary recommends 6 nights in local hotels, with the rest of the time resting in the train’s private compartments, truly achieving ‘the train moves with you, lie down and enjoy the scenery.’ The compartments are hotel-style equipped with bathrooms, constant temperature fresh air systems, USB charging ports, and emergency call devices, with some room types featuring panoramic windows for privacy and convenience.
