🚂 Gobi Cruise:A mobile hotel, lying down to travel across northern and southern Xinjiang
The “Gobi Cruise” northern and southern Xinjiang panoramic air-conditioned special train turns the train into a mobile hotel. You can “stay in one berth all the way,” rest comfortably on the train, and wake up at a new destination. Large luggage can be stored on the train; you only need to carry valuables and a change of clothes when getting off, saving the hassle of frequently moving luggage. The special train uses a double-decker car body with hard sleeper and soft sleeper compartments to meet different budget and comfort needs.
This journey covers the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang, integrating landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, and ancient cities. It is an ideal choice for experiencing “traveling Xinjiang by train.”

The “Gobi Cruise” series currently offers three options: Huixiang, Zunxiang, and Shexiang. All itineraries are 13 days with the same departure dates. The core differences lie in accommodation, berth type, and transportation methods for certain sections.
