🚂 [Dahezhinan Tourist Train Ticket Guide｜A Comfortable Choice for Immersive Slow Travel in Xinjiang]
If you yearn for the vast landscapes of Xinjiang but hope for a journey with less hassle and more ease, the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train might be the travel mode you’re looking for. This train is not just a means of transportation but a mobile living space—equipped with full-train bathrooms, multiple room types, and featuring an entertainment carriage and a professional dining car team, making the 17-day panoramic tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang comfortable and enjoyable from the moment you set off.
🌄 Route Highlights:An In-depth Experience Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ will launch a 17-day panoramic tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, including the Duku Highway route, connecting key scenic spots such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu Village, and Tianshan Tianchi. The itinerary covers desert oases, snowy mountains and lakes, grassland valleys, and border ports, blending natural scenery with cultural landscapes.
Current season (mid-to-late April), Xinjiang has gradually entered late spring and early summer, with rising temperatures and vegetation turning green. Although the apricot blossoms in the Yili River Valley are nearing their end, the grasslands are greening and the lakes are clear, making it an ideal window for long-distance travel. The multiple departure dates from May to September correspond to the best travel periods of the year, with pleasant weather and ample sunshine, suitable for extended outdoor sightseeing.
Notably, the route includes a section of the Duku Highway—a scenic road known as ‘one of China’s most beautiful highways,’ which typically opens only in summer. It connects the northern and southern sides of the Tianshan Mountains, allowing travelers to experience four seasons in one day. The train arranges for visitors to enter the southern section of Duku Highway via Kuqa, passing through the Tianshan Grand Canyon, then crossing the Bayinbuluke Grassland to Nalati, offering a complete experience of this legendary road.
Additionally, the itinerary includes a visit to the Horgos Port (exterior and area), as well as cultural landmarks like Kashgar Old City and Fragrant Concubine Garden, providing both visual impact and historical depth.
