🚂 Gobi Cruise Xinjiang Silver Age Group North-South Xinjiang Special Train:Slow Journey on the Silk Road, 13-Day Panoramic Tour
Want to take your parents or travel with your spouse to Xinjiang with ease? No more worries about long journeys and frequent transfers. The ‘Gobi Cruise’ North-South Xinjiang Panoramic Air-Conditioned Tourist Special Train, with a ‘train follows passengers, one berth all the way’ approach, connects the lake and mountain scenery of Northern Xinjiang with the cultural charm of Southern Xinjiang, allowing elderly tourists to experience Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes at a comfortable pace. The train runs at night and tours during the day, with large luggage stored onboard, truly achieving ‘sleep while viewing scenery, wake up to visit attractions’.
🌄 Tour Highlights:One Journey, Experience the Best of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In 2026, the ‘Gobi Cruise’ special train continues the ‘senior-friendly’ design concept, covering classic landmarks such as Tianshan Tianchi, Turpan Flaming Mountains, Kuqa Grand Canyon, Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kanas, and Hemu. From the oasis of the Fire Continent to snowy mountains and lakes, from the desert edge to alpine meadows, the natural landscapes are rich in layers, and the cultural experiences are deep yet non-intrusive.
The special train features a double-decker air-conditioned carriage with compartment doors to ensure privacy and rest quality. Daily travel distances are reasonably arranged to avoid long sitting times, with afternoon rest periods reserved. Some departures also include special meals such as medicinal diet hotpot, Xinjiang big plate chicken, and local flavors, balancing taste and health needs.
Please note that the Duku Highway may not be fully open in May, and related itineraries will be changed to alternative routes (e.g., fly from Kuqa to Yining or Nalati) based on actual traffic conditions. Specific arrangements will be notified before departure. Factors such as scenic spot opening status, weather, and railway scheduling may also affect some itineraries. The travel agency will negotiate with tourists for reasonable optimization under guaranteed conditions.
