In this fast-paced era, more and more tourists are seeking a ‘slow down’ travel experience. In the spring and summer of 2026, a customized tourist special train named ‘New National Train’ is becoming a new choice for middle-aged, elderly, and family tourists to explore Xinjiang. It doesn’t rely on buses or require frequent bed changes; covering 5,000 kilometers, you can ‘lie down and enjoy the scenery,’ connecting the classics and hidden gems of northern and southern Xinjiang into a comfortable and seamless journey.
🌄 Route Highlights:One trip, traversing the essence of northern and southern Xinjiang
The ‘New National Train’ is not an ordinary train but a soft-sleeper air-conditioned special train specially modified for tourism, featuring 4-person compartments with good privacy and spacious interiors. The train stops at scenic spots during the day and runs or rests at night, allowing tourists to sleep soundly on the berths, avoiding the fatigue of moving luggage and changing trains.
The itinerary covers Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland in northern Xinjiang, as well as Kashgar Old City, Hotan Tuancheng, Kunlun Mountain Grand Canyon, and Baisha Lake in southern Xinjiang. It includes natural wonders like ‘the last tear of the Atlantic’ Sayram Lake and ‘the pure land on earth’ Kanas, along with cultural attractions like ancient cities and traditional handicraft experiences. Special arrangements include popular spots like lavender gardens, Ahe Highway, and the southern section of Duku Highway (subject to seasonal opening), making the trip both classic and fresh.
According to the latest 2026 operational arrangements, this route is divided into ‘Budget Edition’ and ‘Luxury Edition’ to meet different tourists’ needs for accommodation, service, and experience.
