🚂 [Slow Travel to the Western Regions · Special Train Tour] Yangtze River Delta Star Tourism Special Train Launches a 17-Day Silk Road Journey
Tired of the exhausting travel of rushing between attractions, changing hotels, and dragging luggage? In 2026, a more relaxed and immersive way to deeply explore Xinjiang is quietly becoming popular—riding the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourism special train, with a rhythm of ‘traveling by day, sleeping by night, the train moving with you,’ crossing from east to west and overlooking the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. This 17-day journey starting from Shanghai not only connects the desert ancient cities of southern Xinjiang and the lake and mountain scenery of northern Xinjiang but also makes the journey itself a part of the scenery.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Cultural and Natural Panorama Crossing Diverse Landscapes
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train route covers Xinjiang’s most representative scenic zones, from the Lop Nur Village on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, to the White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau; from the alley textures of Kashgar Old City, to the canyons and grasslands along the Duku Highway; and then to the misty wooden houses of Hemu Village and the crystal-clear blue of Sayram Lake… The entire journey spans southern, eastern, and northern Xinjiang, integrating multiple elements such as deserts, rivers, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cities.
The special train operates on an evening departure and morning arrival model, allowing you to visit core scenic spots during the day and sleep soundly in a smoothly running carriage at night, saving time and avoiding long-distance travel fatigue. The carriages are equipped with bathrooms, smart lighting systems, and leisure spaces like KTV, a coffee bar, and a mahjong room, balancing comfort and entertainment. The entire trip is served by experienced team leaders and local guides, with meals customized by a star chef team to ensure travel quality.
Please note that Xinjiang is vast, and the climate and road conditions vary seasonally. In case of force majeure factors (such as weather, traffic controls, sudden changes in scenic spots, etc.), the travel agency will, based on the actual situation and while protecting the rights of tourists, negotiate with tourists to reasonably optimize the itinerary.
