Fares for the Tianfu Express Xinjiang Special Train:Guide to Booking the Altay + Kashgar Itinerary
🌄 【Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination】
In 2026, Xinjiang is embracing visitors from all directions with an even more open attitude. As the starting point of the “Tianfu Express” Xinjiang Special Train, the two major destinations of Altay and Kashgar connect the magnificent scenery of northern Xinjiang with the profound culture of southern Xinjiang, forming a golden route spanning the Tianshan Mountains.
The Altay region is renowned as the “Snow Capital of China.” In summer, Kanas Lake shimmers with blue waves, while the primitive wooden houses of Hemu Village are nestled among birch forests. The Haden Viewing Platform offers a panoramic view of the village’s wispy smoke rising from chimneys. Beitun, serving as a transit point, is the gateway to Tianshan Tianchi (Heavenly Lake). At an altitude of 1,910 meters, the lake’s surface is like a mirror, reflecting the snow-capped peak of Bogda.
Kashgar, on the other hand, is the cultural heart of southern Xinjiang. The Kashgar Old Town preserves the traditional architectural styles of various ethnic groups, with terraced earth-colored houses in the Gaotai Residential Area and the Adigal Mosque’s minaret pointing skyward. In the direction of Taxkorgan County, the White Sand Lake, Muztagh Ata, and Karakul Lake form the “Father of Icebergs” landscape group on the Pamir Plateau. From an aerial perspective, the lake resembles a sapphire nestled among snow-capped mountains.
