Tianshan Express Tour Train:A poetic journey through northern and southern Tianshan (Complete guide for 2026 departures)
🌄 [Route Highlights:Mobile viewing platform and in-depth cultural experience]
As a star product of Xinjiang railway tourism, the Tianshan Express Tour Train connects the scenic landscapes of northern Xinjiang with the cultural wonders of southern Xinjiang through a combined ‘train + bus’ transportation model. The train features all-soft-sleeper cabins equipped with scenic windows, charging ports, and 24-hour hot water. Passengers can gaze at the starry sky while traveling at night and directly transfer to tour buses to explore attractions during daytime stops, enabling a truly in-depth travel experience where ‘passengers rest while the train keeps moving.’
The train route covers 5A-rated scenic spots such as Heavenly Lake of Tianshan, Kanas, and Sayram Lake, while also venturing deep into the Pamir Plateau to visit villages of various ethnic groups. Along the way, it traverses ‘viral’ roads like the Guozigou Bridge and the Duoku Road, seamlessly blending natural wonders with ethnic customs. Following route optimizations in 2026, a special segment ‘Tianshan Wensu Grand Canyon – Tacun Village’ has been added, allowing travelers to experience the collision of yardang landforms with snow-capped mountains and grasslands up close.
