Silk Road Dream Train:A Moving Scenic Route Through the Millennium Silk Road – A 2026 In-Depth Experience Guide
✨ [Route Highlights:A Moving Feast Across Time and Space]
As a representative of domestic high-end tourism trains, the Silk Road Dream Train takes “retracing the Silk Road” as its core, connecting the精华 (essential/highlight) attractions of northern and southern Xinjiang. In 2026, this train, with its newly upgraded facilities and services, will lead tourists through the northern and southern regions of the Tianshan Mountains, allowing them to experience the superb scenery from grasslands to deserts and from snow-capped mountains to lakes. The train features fully enclosed air-conditioned carriages equipped with large observation windows, bathrooms, 24-hour hot water, and charging facilities. Each carriage has a public lounge area, significantly enhancing travel comfort.
The train itinerary covers iconic Xinjiang attractions such as Urumqi, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, and the Old Town of Kashgar, while also incorporating lesser-known hidden gems like the Dukou Highway and Hemu Village. During the journey, tourists can experience traditional songs and dances of various ethnic groups, taste hand-picked rice from southern Xinjiang and roast whole lamb from northern Xinjiang, and participate in intangible cultural heritage handicraft courses on the train to deeply feel the charm of Silk Road culture.
