🚂 【Dahezhinan Tourist Train｜17-Day Panoramic Slow Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, A Xinjiang Scroll on the Train】
In this fast-paced era, rediscover Xinjiang with a slow-moving tourist train—the “Dahezhinan” special tourist train, equipped with full-train bathrooms, multi-functional carriages, and a dedicated kitchen team, creating a mobile comfortable space for travelers. Unlike the tight pace of regular group tours, this 17-day itinerary connects the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang, from the Flaming Mountains to the Pamir Plateau, from the Duku Highway to Kanas Lake, experiencing the seasonal pulse of the vast land through the dialogue between wheels and scenery.
🌄 Route Highlights:An In-Depth Journey Through Xinjiang’s Geography and Culture
In 2026, the “Dahezhinan” continues to operate the panoramic route of northern and southern Xinjiang, passing through core areas such as Turpan, Kashgar, Taxkorgan, Kuqa, Nalati, Yining, Beitun, and Urumqi, covering diverse landscapes including deserts, oases, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and canyons. The itinerary specially includes a full experience of the Duku Highway (subject to weather and road conditions), a scenic road connecting the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains, known as one of “China’s most beautiful roads.” Additionally, it features classic scenes like Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, the Golden Grassland at the foot of Muztagh Ata, the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, a loop around Sayram Lake, and morning mist in Hemu Village.
Current season (April 2026), scenic spots in Xinjiang have gradually entered the spring operation period. According to public information from cultural and tourism departments, major scenic spots such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Nalati, and Sayram Lake are open normally. Some high-altitude areas (e.g., the northern section of the Duku Highway) are expected to be fully open from late May to early June, with specific access subject to the day’s announcement by the transportation department. Ports (e.g., Horgos) and border management areas involved in the itinerary require valid identification documents for verification, and the travel agency will assist with relevant procedures in advance.
