🚂 【Dahezhinan Tourist Train Booking】—— Slow Travel Through Northern and Southern Xinjiang, 17-Day Panoramic Immersive Journey
Tired of superficial sightseeing? Want to explore the vast landscapes and diverse cultures of Xinjiang at a more leisurely pace? In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train sets off again, connecting the heat of Turpan, the majesty of the Pamirs, the grandeur of the Duku Highway, the clarity of Sayram Lake, and the mystery of Kanas in a unique ‘train moves with scenery, scenery shifts with train’ approach. This is not just a trip, but a flowing experience of border region life.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Deep Dive Through Xinjiang’s Essence
The ‘Dahezhinan’ special train meticulously designs a 17-day itinerary covering northern and southern Xinjiang, encompassing the most representative natural and cultural landscapes on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains. From the red cliffs of the Flaming Mountains to the snow-capped lakes of the Pamir Plateau, from the ‘four seasons in one day’ geological wonder of the Duku Highway to the wooden houses and morning mist of Hemu Village, the entire journey avoids high-intensity travel, combining the special train with land transfers for both comfort and experience.
The train passes through areas including multiple World Natural Heritage tentative sites and high-quality scenic spots. Tourists can stroll through century-old alleys in Kashgar’s Old City, visit highland village life in Tashkurgan, ride horses or sit quietly on the Nalati Grassland, and listen to the wind and watch birds by Sayram Lake. The itinerary also includes cultural landmarks like Karez Well, Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb, and Tianshan Grand Canyon, helping visitors understand the region’s historical context and ecological wisdom.
Notably, this route includes the prime section of the Duku Highway from the southern to middle segments (Kuqa—Bayanbulak—Nalati), which is typically open from late May to late September each year, heavily influenced by climate and geological conditions. According to the latest road conditions in April 2026, the Duku Highway is expected to be passable by mid-to-late May, with the exact opening time subject to local transportation authority announcements. In case of temporary restrictions, the travel agency will negotiate with tourists to reasonably adjust the itinerary order without reducing the number of attractions.
