🚂 Route Highlights:How Does a Moving ‘Five-Star Hotel’ Define Travel in Xinjiang?
While traditional train travel still debates between hard seats and soft sleepers, the Kunlun Express tourist train has redefined in-depth travel in Xinjiang with its ‘one carriage, one scenic view’ design concept.

The entire train features 8 sleeper carriages divided into four major room types, each equipped with a fresh air system and humidification device to effectively alleviate discomfort caused by the dry plateau climate.
