This tourist train, supported by the railway system, is not an ordinary train but a ‘mobile resort space’ integrating accommodation, dining, and entertainment. Immerse yourself in scenic spots during the day, and sleep soundly in the smoothly moving carriage at night, eliminating the hassle of transportation connections and truly achieving a relaxed rhythm of ‘being on the road while your heart is in the scenery.’
🌄 Route Highlights:A journey through snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and ancient cities
In 2026, the An Yi Hao will feature a 16-day full loop of northern and southern Xinjiang, covering over ten core attractions including Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, the southern section of the Duku Highway, Kashgar Old City, and Turpan.
Northern Xinjiang Natural Wonders:From May to September, it’s the prime viewing period. Tianshan Tianchi’s lake is as clear as a mirror, the primeval forests by Kanas Lake are layered, and Hemu Village is shrouded in morning mist, like a fairy tale.
Yili River Valley Scenery: Sayram Lake has a loop of about 90 km. During the 2026 peak season (May 1 – October 15), private cars are not allowed on the loop road; visitors need to take shuttle buses or arrange vehicles through compliant travel agencies. Nalati Grassland has lush pastures and wildflowers everywhere, suitable for light hiking or sightseeing.
Duku Highway Experience:Expected to fully open by the end of May 2026, with daily passage hours from 9:00 to 20:00. The itinerary strictly follows traffic regulations, crossing the southern section within the permitted hours to enjoy the red rock walls of the Tianshan Grand Canyon and the wetlands of Bayinbuluke.
Southern Xinjiang Cultural Charm:Kashgar Old City is free to enter, with streets retaining traditional patterns. Areas along the Pamir Plateau (such as Karakul Lake, Golden Grassland, and the Stone City Ruins) are border zones, requiring relevant travel permits in advance, which the travel agency can assist with.
All attractions are planned based on the latest 2026 scenic area announcements, ensuring a compliant, smooth, and enjoyable visit.
