🚂 2026 Xinjiang Dahezhinan Tourist Train:A Slow Journey on the Move
Tired of rushing between attractions, changing hotels, and dragging luggage? Want to see all of Xinjiang’s snowy mountains, lakes, grasslands, and ancient cities in a more relaxed way? In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ tourist train offers a new deep-travel option with a ‘travel by day, sleep by night, one berth all the way’ model. This train is not just transportation, but an immersive journey blending natural scenery, cultural experiences, and comfortable service.
📍 Detailed Route and Destination Introduction
The ‘Dahezhinan’ is built by China State Railway Group in Zhengzhou, with its body incorporating Central Plains cultural elements like the winding Yellow River, painted pottery patterns, and peonies, earning it the title of ‘Walking Central Plains Cultural Living Room’. The newly launched 17-day Duku version covering the full panorama of Northern and Southern Xinjiang includes Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland in Northern Xinjiang, as well as Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau,白沙湖 (Baisha Lake), and Karakul Lake in Southern Xinjiang, and traverses the famous Duku Highway (southern and middle sections), connecting the most representative natural and cultural landscapes north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
The itinerary passes through multiple cities including Turpan, Urumqi, Kuqa, Yining, Beitun, and Taxkorgan, allowing you to experience the heat of the Flaming Mountains and the coolness of the Grape Valley, ride horses on the Bayanbulak Grassland, and stroll through Kashgar Old City. The entire journey follows a ‘daytime sightseeing, nighttime travel’ rhythm, where tourists focus on playing during the day and return to their private compartments to rest at night, eliminating the hassle of frequent luggage moving and adapting to new accommodations, making it especially suitable for families, middle-aged and elderly travelers, and those seeking a relaxed experience.
