In spring and summer 2026, this air-conditioned tourist special train covering the core attractions of Southern and Northern Xinjiang sets off again, attracting many travelers who value journey quality with its comfortable approach of “no train change, no berth change, sleeping in the scenery.” This article focuses on the cost structure and berth selection logic, combined with currently confirmed tour dates and itinerary arrangements, to provide clear reference for those planning to travel.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Panoramic Journey Across the North and South of the Tianshan Mountains
The “Gobi Cruise” is not a real ship, but a double-decker air-conditioned tourist special train supported by the China Railway system. The entire journey uses the railway as the main transportation, with short-distance shuttle buses recommended between scenic spots, significantly reducing continuous travel time. The route design balances the natural wonders of Northern Xinjiang and the cultural landscapes of Southern Xinjiang:
The Northern Xinjiang section covers classic scenery such as Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Colorful Beach, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland;
The Southern Xinjiang section delves into Kashgar Old City, Karakul Lake (overlooking Muztagh Ata Peak), Kuqa Grand Canyon, and Turpan’s Flaming Mountain;
The entire journey includes diverse experiences like Tianshan Tianchi, villages around Bosten Lake, lavender sightseeing gardens, and ancient road hot springs;
Cuisine incorporates local flavors such as Nine Bowls and Three Rows, Big Plate Chicken, Burqin cold-water fish, and medicinal health hotpot.
