🚂 In 2026, take a train to slowly travel through Xinjiang—the Kunlun Special Train starts a panoramic journey of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
Xinjiang is vast, with scattered attractions, and self-driving often involves hundreds of kilometers one way, posing challenges in stamina and itinerary planning for elderly tourists or family trips. The newly upgraded ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train in 2026, with its ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning, train follows the traveler, fixed berth’ model, offers tourists a more relaxed and coherent deep travel experience. This 14-day loop journey connects the lakes and grasslands of Northern Xinjiang with the plateau secrets of Southern Xinjiang, making the journey itself part of the scenery.
🌄 Introduction to Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Kunlun’ special train departs from and returns to Urumqi, fully covering the core scenic areas on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains. The Northern Xinjiang section includes Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and Kuerdening Forest, showcasing the serene beauty of alpine lakes and primeval forests; the Southern Xinjiang section delves into Kashgar Old City, Taxkorgan, Baisha Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, and Kuqa Grand Canyon, blending Silk Road history with plateau scenery. The entire journey follows a ‘travel by night, explore by day’ rhythm, focusing on sightseeing during the day and sleeping soundly on the stable train at night, avoiding the hassle of frequent hotel changes and luggage handling.
The carriage design emphasizes comfort and practicality: the entire train is equipped with air-conditioned soft sleepers, with some room types featuring bathrooms, desks, sofas, and 24-hour hot water, with space layout referencing star-rated hotel standards. Whether traveling in pairs, as a family, or as a solo traveler preferring solitude, suitable room types can be chosen based on needs. Special dining experiences are also arranged along the way, such as Turpan fruit feast, Burqin cold-water fish feast, and Kashgar pigeon soup, allowing taste buds to join this Western Regions journey.
