🚂 How to book tickets for the 2026 Xinjiang Kunlun Special Tourist Train? A new slow travel option across northern and southern Xinjiang
In this fast-paced era, more and more people are longing for ‘slow travel’—no rushing, no changing hotels, just drop your luggage, enjoy the scenery by day, and travel with the train by night. In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ special tourist train offers just such a comprehensive Xinjiang journey blending comfort, depth, and cultural experience. Launched by Urumqi in 2023, it is positioned as a high-quality air-conditioned tourist train, focusing on a 14-day in-depth tour of northern and southern Xinjiang, adopting a ‘travel by night, tour by day, one berth throughout’ model, making the journey itself a true enjoyment.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The Kunlun special train spans the Tianshan Mountains, connecting the heat of Turpan, the richness of Kashgar in southern Xinjiang, the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, the tenderness of the Ili River Valley, and the fairy-tale秘境 of Altay Kanas. The entire route covers classic landmarks such as the Flaming Mountains, Karez Well, Baisha Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, the southern section of the Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Kuerdening, Sayram Lake, Hemu, and Kanas. It also incorporates special experiences like fruit banquets, Qiuci dance performances, visits to various ethnic families, and strolls through lavender gardens, allowing tourists not just to ‘see’ but to ‘feel’ the beauty of Xinjiang’s multicultural integration.
The hardware configuration of the special train is also quite impressive: the entire train has 8 sleeper carriages, offering a variety of room types. Soft sleeper carriages are equipped with desks, sofas, washbasin areas, or shared bathrooms, with interiors incorporating Xinjiang elements, balancing practicality and aesthetics. Some compartments have luggage storage, with dedicated attendants available 24/7, and the train is also equipped with emergency medicines and basic first aid equipment to ensure a worry-free journey.
