Tianshan Number Special Train:A moving scenic line traversing northern and southern Xinjiang 🌄
I. Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination
Xinjiang, a land that accounts for one-sixth of China’s territory, harbors an exquisite combination of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and deserts. In 2026, the Tianshan Number Special Train, with its unique design as a “mobile observation deck,” will connect core attractions in northern and southern Xinjiang, including Urumqi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, and the Pamir Plateau. This allows tourists to switch between train berths and characteristic hotels, deeply experiencing the geographical wonder of “wearing a fur coat in the morning and a thin纱 (silk) at noon.”
The special train adopts a “train follows people” model, eliminating the need for frequent luggage handling throughout the journey. The carriages feature large observation windows, charging ports, and air conditioning, with different classes such as Blue Diamond and Silver Diamond to meet diverse needs. The itinerary covers both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, from the五彩滩 (Colorful Beach) in the Junggar Basin to the Kashgar Old Town in the Tarim Basin, and from the spruce forests of the Nalati Grassland to the Muztagh Ata peak on the Pamir Plateau. Each day offers a visual feast of different landscapes outside the window.
