New National Train Tourist Train:A moving scenic line across northern and southern Xinjiang 🚂
Detailed introduction to routes or destinations
If you want to connect the grandeur and tenderness of Xinjiang in one trip, the New National Train tourist train is undoubtedly a highly regarded travel option in recent years. Designed for in-depth travel, this train adopts the concept of a ‘moving star-rated hotel,’ upgrading the carriages into travel spaces that combine comfort and sightseeing. During the 14-day itinerary, travelers don’t need to frequently change hotels or pack luggage; they can simply sit by the window and take in the snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and lakes of the Tianshan region.
In 2026, the New National Train route has further optimized service details based on the original. The train features a 4-person cabin design with upper and lower berths, each equipped with charging ports, reading lights, and an adjustable air conditioning system. The public areas of the carriages include a sightseeing bar, lounge seating, and even simple dining services, making socializing and relaxation during the journey more comfortable. Notably, the train adopts a ‘stop by day, travel by night’ mode—stopping at attractions during the day for in-depth exploration and traveling at night to save time and avoid the fatigue of long-distance driving, making it especially suitable for elderly tourists or family trips.
The geographical span of northern and southern Xinjiang is vast. Starting from Urumqi, heading west reaches the grasslands and flower seas of the Ili River Valley, north goes deep into the primeval forests of Kanas, and south touches the scorching dunes of the Taklamakan Desert. The New National Train’s route cleverly connects these vastly different landscapes: from the Flaming Mountain and Karez in Turpan to the natural wonder of Sayram Lake, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic’; from the millennia-old atmosphere of Kashgar’s ancient city to the Tuvan people’s wooden houses in Hemu Village. This ‘one route, multiple sights’ arrangement allows travelers to fully experience Xinjiang’s diverse charm without multiple transfers.

Why Choose the New National Train?
Compared to traditional group tours or self-driving, the New National Train’s advantage lies in the balance between ‘convenience’ and ‘depth.’ For elderly tourists, there’s no need to frequently change transportation, and the train’s age-friendly design (e.g., non-slip floors, emergency call buttons) provides peace of mind; for family tourists, the cabin space accommodates 4 people, offering better privacy than regular trains and more freedom for parent-child interaction; for photography enthusiasts, the train stops longer at attractions like Kanas and Sayram Lake, with optimal lighting for shooting at dawn and dusk, without competing for spots with other tourists.
In 2026, the New National Train also adds a ‘cultural experience’ component, such as arranging professional photographers for follow-up shoots in Kashgar’s ancient city and organizing Tuvan music sharing sessions in Hemu Village, making the trip not just about sightseeing but also about immersing in local life. If you yearn for an experience of ‘traveling in a painting,’ this train might be the right way to open up Xinjiang.
