🚂 【Dahezhinan Tourist Train｜2026 17-Day Panoramic Tour of Southern and Northern Xinjiang】
As the train slowly departs from the Central Plains hinterland, the Loess Plateau outside the window gradually transitions into the vast outlines of the Tianshan snow peaks and the Pamir Plateau—this journey, spanning east to west and traversing southern and northern Xinjiang, is carried by the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train, weaving the vastness of geography and the diversity of culture into a flowing landscape. Unlike ordinary trains, the ‘Dahezhinan’ is equipped with bathrooms throughout, featuring 2-person, 3-person, and 4-person compartments. The carriages use multiple noise reduction technologies, are paired with multi-functional carriages (including audio-visual, chess and card, karaoke, and reception areas), and have a dedicated dining car with a professional chef team, striving to make every meal on the journey fresh, delicious, and rich in local flavor.
📍 Route Highlights:An In-depth Experience Traversing the Essence of Xinjiang
This 17-day itinerary covers the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang: from the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan, to the street life of Kashgar’s old city; from Karakul Lake and the Stone City on the Pamir Plateau, to the canyon wonders of the southern section of the Duku Highway; then through Bayanbulak Grassland, Nalati Valley, Sayram Lake, and up to Kanas and Hemu Village in northern Xinjiang. The entire journey does not necessarily include the full passage of the ‘Duku Highway’ (depending on the opening situation that year), but also delves into border areas such as Taxkorgan, Yining, and Khorgos (subject to actual customs policies), allowing tourists to feel the changing seasons and landscape transformations of Xinjiang from a moving ‘home’.
It should be noted that the opening status of scenic spots, road conditions (such as the Duku Highway), and accommodation arrangements involved in the itinerary may change due to weather, policies, or seasonal factors. The travel agency will reasonably optimize the itinerary in consultation with tourists, ensuring safety and experience.
