🚂 [Dahezhinan Tourist Train | 2026 Southern and Northern Xinjiang Panorama 17-Day Tour, New Slow Travel Experience on Special Train]
If you’re tired of the fast-paced travel of rushing between attractions and changing hotels, why not try a ‘moving home’—the Dahezhinan special tourist train. This train is not just a mode of transport but a comfortable space integrating accommodation, dining, and entertainment, allowing you to traverse Xinjiang’s vast landscapes at a leisurely pace, from the Flaming Mountains to the Pamir Plateau, from Sayram Lake to Kanas, with scenery like a painting and life like a poem.
🌄 Route Highlights:Visit the best of Southern and Northern Xinjiang in one trip
This 17-day Southern and Northern Xinjiang Panorama Duku Route cleverly connects Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes. The itinerary covers the fiery charm of Turpan in Eastern Xinjiang, the ancient city charm of Kashgar in Southern Xinjiang, the majestic beauty of the Pamir Plateau, the seasonal changes of the Duku Highway, the lush greenery of the Ili River Valley, and the fairy-tale snowfields of Kanas in Northern Xinjiang (turning into emerald forests in spring).
Notably, the Duku Highway (Dushanzi to Kuqa section of G217 National Highway) is recommended to open from June to September each year. This route includes this section for multiple departures from May 30, 2026, allowing visitors to experience the geological wonder of ‘seeing four seasons in one day, with different weather every ten miles.’ Along the way, you’ll pass through the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon, Bayanbulak’s Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns, and Nalati Valley Grassland, offering a layered visual experience.
Additionally, the itinerary includes iconic destinations like Horgos Port (a major land port between China and Kazakhstan), Sayram Lake (known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic’), and Colorful Beach (where Yadan landforms meet the Irtysh River), covering a wide geographical area with rich content without feeling rushed.
