Want to explore Xinjiang in a more relaxed and free way? In 2026, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourist special train, equipped with bathroom carriages, has become a new choice for many tourists to explore the Silk Road scenery. This journey, spanning east to west and traversing southern and northern Xinjiang, not only connects classic destinations like Korla, Kashgar, Nalati, and Kanas but also reduces the hassle of frequent hotel changes through the form of train accommodation + scenic spot transfers, making the travel pace more relaxed.
🌄 Route Highlights:See Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and culture in one trip
Departing from Shanghai, take the special train westward, crossing the Hexi Corridor and entering the Tianshan Mountains. This 17-day itinerary covers the oasis civilization on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, the snowy mountains and lakes of the Pamir Plateau, the grasslands and flower seas of the Ili River Valley, and the forest lakes at the foot of the Altai Mountains. Whether it’s the ancient villages along the Tarim River, the bustling streets of Kashgar’s old city, the blue waters of Sayram Lake, or the morning mist and smoke of Hemu Village, all are presented in the itinerary.
It is worth mentioning that the special train uses fixed carriage formations, with both four-person and double rooms equipped with bathroom facilities, eliminating the need to queue for public washing areas. This is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists or family groups who value privacy and convenience. The carriages have constant temperature air conditioning, tidy beds, and travel at night while sightseeing during the day, saving time and ensuring rest quality.

🌿 Why choose a tourist special train with bathroom facilities?

It is worth mentioning that the special train uses fixed carriage formations, with both four-person and double rooms equipped with bathroom facilities, eliminating the need to queue for public washing areas. This is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists or family groups who value privacy and convenience. The carriages have constant temperature air conditioning, tidy beds, and travel at night while sightseeing during the day, saving time and ensuring rest quality.Compared to traditional group tours that change hotels daily and drag luggage around, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train offers a ‘mobile home’ experience. Tourists get off to explore during the day and return to their familiar carriage to rest at night, eliminating the hassle of repeated check-ins and check-outs. Especially in a vast region like Xinjiang, where cities are often hundreds of kilometers apart, traveling by train at night effectively uses time, allowing for focused sightseeing during the day.
In addition, the bathroom design significantly improves hygiene and convenience—no need to walk down the corridor to a public washing area; washing and using the toilet can be done within the cabin, which is particularly friendly for the elderly or families with children. The carriages are also equipped with power sockets, reading lights, storage cabinets, and other detailed facilities, balancing practicality and comfort.
📌 Warm Tips
Xinjiang is vast with large temperature differences between day and night, so it is recommended to bring a windproof jacket and sunscreen.
Some sections have high altitudes (e.g., Karakul Lake is about 3600 meters), so please pay attention to physical adaptation.
Scenic spot opening times and policies may change with the seasons, please refer to the latest notice before departure.
The home visit activities arranged in the itinerary are cultural exchange experiences, and respecting the living habits of various ethnic groups is basic etiquette.
This 17-day journey is not just a geographical crossing but also a slow visual and spiritual trip. Sitting by the window, watching the Gobi gradually turn into snowy mountains, and deserts transition into grasslands, the train carries you steadily forward while the scenery flows outside the window—this is the poetic journey for adults.
