New National Train South-North Xinjiang Special Train:A moving scenic line across the Tianshan Mountains 🚂
🌄 Route Highlights:A mobile viewing platform connecting the best of South and North Xinjiang
In 2026, the New National Train South-North Xinjiang Special Train, with its innovative “train + bus” model, has become a popular choice for in-depth exploration of Xinjiang. This special train features customized soft sleeper carriages, each recommended to have 10 four-person compartments, equipped with charging ports, viewing windows, and adjustable seats, making the 14-day journey both comfortable and private. The train stops at major attractions during the day for passengers to explore; it travels at night, saving time and avoiding the fatigue of long road trips.
The special train route is cleverly designed, starting from Urumqi, crossing the edge of the Taklamakan Desert along the Southern Xinjiang Railway, circling the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert via the He-Ruo Railway, then turning onto the Northern Xinjiang Railway to delve into the Altai Mountains. The entire journey covers the heat of Turpan, the ancient charm of Kashgar, the grasslands of Nalati, the lake views of Kanas, and the morning mist of Hemu, truly a “train to see all four seasons of Xinjiang in one go.”

According to 2026 Xinjiang Railway Department news, the New National Train special train has been upgraded to an “intelligent eco-friendly train,” using new energy power and noise reduction technology, with an added air purification system and Wi-Fi coverage in the carriages. Currently, major scenic spots in South and North Xinjiang have implemented “entry with valid ID,” so passengers do not need to exchange tickets in advance. Note that the Kanas Scenic Area has implemented a “limited flow reservation system” starting in 2026, with a maximum daily capacity changed to 18,000 visitors. It is recommended to book in advance through official channels.
