🚂 Where does the “Dahezhinan” tourist train go from and to? A 17-day slow journey across Central China and the Western Regions
You may have heard of the “Dahezhinan” but may not know exactly where it starts and where it goes. This special tourist train does not just circle within Henan Province. It starts from Zhengzhou, travels westward through Gansu, enters Xinjiang, and goes deep into the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains, ultimately completing a panoramic tour covering the essence of northern and southern Xinjiang. Its route design cleverly integrates the “day tour, night travel” mode—visiting key scenic spots during the day and sleeping comfortably in the train carriage at night, saving time and reducing travel fatigue.
📍 Route Start and End and Core Direction
The “Dahezhinan” tourist train departs from Zhengzhou Station, passes through important cities such as Luoyang, Xi’an, and Lanzhou, and then officially enters Xinjiang. The itinerary covers representative destinations in northern and southern Xinjiang, including Turpan, Kashgar, Taxkorgan, Kuqa, Nalati, Yining, Beitun, and Urumqi. Finally, it returns from Urumqi via Lanzhou, Xi’an, and Luoyang, ending back in Zhengzhou. The entire journey takes about 17 days, forming a complete loop, truly realizing “one train, see all of the Western Regions.”
🌄 Why choose this route?
Unlike the tight pace of regular group tours, the “Dahezhinan” uses a fixed train set throughout, so tourists don’t need to frequently change hotels or move luggage. The train is equipped with en-suite compartments (2-person, 3-person, and 4-person options available), a dedicated dining car, a multi-functional entertainment carriage (including audio-visual, board games, and karaoke), and a professional chef team to ensure food quality. This “moving home” model is especially suitable for elderly tourists and families, balancing comfort and convenience.
