🚂 A new choice for silver travelers to explore Xinjiang at a leisurely pace:Kunlun Special Train, a comfortable journey to see all of northern and southern Xinjiang
As the spring and summer travel season of 2026 approaches, more and more middle-aged and elderly friends are turning their attention to the vast and magnificent Xinjiang. Compared to self-driving or the conventional method of frequent transfers, a special train with a relaxed pace, complete facilities, and thoughtful service has become an ideal choice for many families accompanying their elders on a trip. Among them, the ‘Kunlun’ special train is gaining widespread attention for its age-friendly design, full air-conditioned sleeper cars, and reasonable itinerary.
🌄 Route and Destination Introduction
The ‘Kunlun’ is a high-end special train launched by Urumqi in 2023, designed specifically for in-depth tours of northern and southern Xinjiang. The train adopts a ‘travel by day, sleep by night’ model—concentrating on visiting core attractions during the day and sleeping soundly in the smoothly running carriages at night. This saves time and avoids travel fatigue, making it especially suitable for the daily routines and physical stamina of middle-aged and elderly tourists.
The entire train has 8 sleeper carriages with various room types, including four-berth, two-berth, and single rooms. Some compartments are equipped with toilets, desks, sofas, and wardrobes. The soft furnishings incorporate Xinjiang regional elements, creating a warm and comfortable mobile space. The carriage aisles are spacious, the floors are slip-resistant, and basic convenience facilities are provided to ensure a smooth and convenient journey.
The itinerary covers the highlights of the Tianshan Mountains, north and south: from the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan, to the red rock walls of the Kuqa Grand Canyon; from the bustling streets and alleys of Kashgar Old City, to the白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau; then along the southern section of the Duku Highway, through the Bayanbulak Grassland and the Nalati Sky Grassland, all the way to Kanas, Hemu, the五彩滩 (Rainbow Beach), and Tianchi Lake in northern Xinjiang… Natural scenery and cultural landscapes intertwine, allowing you to systematically experience Xinjiang’s diverse landforms and cultural features in 14 days.
Please note that the actual itinerary may be reasonably adjusted due to objective factors such as weather, road conditions, and scenic spot opening status, subject to mutual agreement, to ensure the travel experience and safety.
