【Anyi Express Urumqi Special Train Tour:2026 In-Depth Experience Guide】
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations:A Moving Scenic Line Crossing the North and South of the Tianshan Mountains
In 2026, the Anyi Express will focus on ‘slow travel in Xinjiang,’ offering a 16-day panoramic in-depth tour. This mobile ‘five-star viewing platform’ features all-sleeper carriages equipped with bathrooms, scenic windows, and 24-hour butler service, allowing tourists to travel comfortably through the Junggar Basin and Tarim Basin, connecting the four core areas of Urumqi, Kanas, Ili, and Kashgar, covering four major themes: lakes, grasslands, canyons, and folk customs.
The special train features a ‘daytime travel’ mode: arriving at scenic spots early in the morning to avoid intense sun exposure; returning to the carriage for rest in the evening, and traveling at night to save time. For example, the tour around Sayram Lake on D7 is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., when the lake’s blue ice begins to melt and the soft lighting is ideal for photography; the southern section of the Duku Highway on D9 departs at 6 a.m. to avoid the risk of rockfalls that may occur in the afternoon.

🔍 2026 Pitfall Avoidance Guide:Three Major Precautions
Changes in Scenic Spot Policies:
🚂 Simple Itinerary: 16-Day Panoramic Route OverviewIt has been verified that the Kanas scenic spot will continue to implement a ‘limited capacity reservation system’ in 2026, requiring real-name ticket purchases on the platform 3 days in advance. The special train includes ticket fees, but tourists need to cooperate with the tour guide to uniformly enter information.
Seasonal Experience Differences:
May Schedule:The Tianshan Mountains still have snow, offering the dual pleasure of skiing and flower viewing, but the Duku Highway may not be open, and the route will be changed to the Yizhao Highway
September Schedule:The poplar forests in southern Xinjiang have not fully turned yellow; it is recommended to change to the October schedule
July-August Schedule:There are many mosquitoes on the Nalati Grassland; it is necessary to bring mosquito repellent spray and long-sleeved clothing
Consumer Trap Warnings:
Turpan Grape Valley:The ‘folk home visit’ within the scenic spot may involve forced consumption; the special train itinerary has been optimized to experience points
Kashgar Bazaar:Be cautious about ‘free photo’ stalls, which may charge high fees for photo frames
Sayram Lake:Confirm the pricing method (by hour/by lap) for bicycle rentals around the lake
