2026 In-Depth Experience Guide for the New National Railway Tour Train: Comprehensive Guide to Traversing Northern and Southern Xinjiang
🌄 [Route Highlights:Moving Scenic Corridor]
As a flagship product of Xinjiang’s railway tourism, the New National Railway Tour Train features a unique design of ‘scenery following the train, traveling day and night,’ connecting the精华 (essence) landscapes of northern and southern Tianshan. The 2026 route has been fully upgraded with new air-conditioned train cars equipped with large observation windows, charging ports, and a constant-temperature air conditioning system, ensuring passenger comfort on the move. The train travels along the world’s first desert-loop railway—the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway—crossing the edge of the Taklimakan Desert, where alternating views of poplar forests, yardang landforms, and oasis villages create a ‘mobile geography classroom.’
