🚂 Ride the “Gobi Cruise” and leisurely travel through northern and southern Xinjiang — a 13-day panoramic special train tour
On the vast land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, deserts, and ancient cities intertwine into a magnificent picture. How to comfortably and deeply experience the diverse landscapes of this region? In spring and summer 2026, the “Gobi Cruise” tourist special train, with its innovative “railway + short-distance shuttle” model, has become a popular choice for many travelers. It does not actually sail on water, but borrows the name “cruise” to imply that the train moves as steadily as a ship through the Gobi and oases, making the journey less bumpy and more relaxed.
This special train crosses the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, connecting Turpan’s Flaming Mountains, Kuqa’s canyon secrets, Kashgar’s plateau lakes, Ili’s lavender fields, Altay’s forest lakes, and the picturesque Heavenly Lake of Tianshan. The entire journey uses a double-decker air-conditioned tourist special train as a mobile “home.” During the day, take short bus tours to scenic spots, and at night, return to the carriage to sleep. Large luggage stays on the train, eliminating the hassle of frequent baggage handling. It is especially suitable for travelers who prefer a relaxed pace and value the travel experience.
