🌄 Route Highlights:One Journey, Explore Diverse Landscapes
The ‘Gobi Cruise’ is not a real cruise ship but a nickname for a customized double-decker tourist special train—carriages like ships, carrying travelers leisurely through the Gobi, oases, and snow-capped mountains. The route spans north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, covering four major areas: Eastern Xinjiang’s Turpan, Southern Xinjiang’s Kashgar, Northern Xinjiang’s Altay, and the Ili River Valley, including natural wonders and cultural landscapes:
Geological Wonders:The Flaming Mountains blaze like torches, the Keziliya Grand Canyon (also known as Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon) is colorful, and Aydingkol Lake is the lowest point in China;
Mountain Lakes:Sayram Lake is as blue as a mirror, Kanas Lake is mysterious, and Baisha Lake is serene like a painting;
Grassland Pastures:Nalati Grassland is known as the ‘Hanging Garden,’ and the sunset at Bayanbulak’s Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns is stunning;
Cultural Experiences:Participate in the Kashgar Ancient City opening ceremony, stroll along Restan Street, and visit Huiyuan Ancient City to feel the historical charm of the Silk Road;
🚂 Gobi Cruise Special Train: A Panoramic Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang by TrainSpecial Highways:Popular sections like the Duku Highway (open seasonally), Ahe Highway, and Yizhao Highway offer endless scenery along the way.
Currently (April 2026), the Duku Highway is not fully open (usually opens in early June), and backup plans have been arranged for May departures, such as flying from Kuqa to Yining or Nalati, to ensure a smooth itinerary.
