🌄 What is it like to take a train to Xinjiang?
As the pace of city life accelerates, people are longing for a ‘slow down’ travel style—no need to catch early flights, drag luggage to change hotels frequently, or queue up at scenic spots. In 2026, with the continuous upgrade of railway tourism, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ luxury tourist special train is leading travelers deep into the heart of Xinjiang in a comfortable and relaxed manner. Over 17 days, starting from Shanghai, it traverses the Gobi Desert, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, and lakes, and finally returns to the Jiangnan water towns. This is not just a geographical crossing, but also a deep physical and mental rest.
🌍 Route Highlights:See the diverse landscapes of the Western Regions in one trip
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train has carefully designed a loop covering the essence of Southern and Northern Xinjiang. The journey crosses the Tianshan Mountains from east to west, connecting the Lop Nur Village on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, Karakul Lake and the Stone City on the Pamir Plateau, the Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, and Kanas, known as the ‘back garden.’ Along the way, you’ll experience the vastness of the desert, the clarity of alpine lakes, the melodious pastoral songs of the grasslands, and the lively atmosphere of ancient city streets. This landscape change of ‘seeing four seasons in one day and different weather every ten miles’ is the unique charm of Xinjiang.
It’s worth noting that the train adopts a ‘one berth all the way’ model, where you visit attractions during the day and sleep soundly in the smoothly running carriage at night, eliminating the fatigue of frequent luggage handling and adapting to new accommodations. The carriage interior has been optimized with good sound insulation and spaciousness, providing basic support for long-distance travel.
