New National Train Xinjiang Official Website:A moving scenic line across northern and southern Xinjiang 🚂
【Detailed Introduction of Routes or Destinations】
In 2026, Xinjiang is welcoming visitors from all directions with a more open attitude. As a ‘moving scenic line’ connecting northern and southern Xinjiang, the New National Train special train, with its unique design of ‘traveling with the scenery, traveling by night and sightseeing by day,’ has become a popular choice for an in-depth experience of Xinjiang. This special train is not just a journey, but a flowing cultural feast—the carriages feature 4-person soft sleeper compartments, equipped with charging ports, reading lights, and viewing windows, balancing privacy and comfort; the train passes through geological wonders such as the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, the Pamir Plateau, and the Kanas Forest, allowing passengers to feel the magnificent landscape of Xinjiang’s ‘three mountains and two basins’ while on the move.
Another highlight of the special train is its ‘one journey, multiple views’ route planning. Starting from Urumqi, heading south through the He-Ruo Railway (the world’s first desert-loop railway), explore the Hetian jade culture at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains; heading north along the Junggar Basin, encounter the autumn fairy tale of Kanas and the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu. The itinerary also specially arranges a ‘mobile classroom’—the on-board guide will explain Xinjiang’s history in conjunction with the scenery outside the window, from the 36 Kingdoms of the Western Regions to the Silk Road, allowing passengers to understand the depth of this land during the journey.

【Simple Itinerary】The special train is equipped with a medical kit and emergency oxygen bottles to deal with altitude sickness.
Specifics are subject to actual consultation and contract signing. The itinerary may change due to weather, policies, and other factors.
【In-depth Experience:Xinjiang on the Special Train】
The uniqueness of the New National Train lies in its breaking of the traditional ‘rushing mode’ of tourism. When the train crosses the Taklamakan Desert late at night, passengers can look up at the Milky Way through the viewing window in their compartment; the next morning, the scenery outside the window has changed to the snow peaks of the Kunlun Mountains and the camel thorn of the Gobi. The Luxury Edition even arranges a ‘mobile afternoon tea’—when crossing the Duku Highway, the train will stop at a viewing platform, allowing passengers to get off and taste Xinjiang fruits and take road trip photos.
The cultural experiences in the itinerary are equally rich: at the Hetian Night Market, passengers can make Atlas silk by hand; in the Kashgar Ancient City, professional photographers will lead ethnic-style photo shoots; in Hemu Village, Tuvan elders will demonstrate traditional ‘Khoomei’ throat singing. These interactive projects are designed with the participation of local intangible cultural heritage inheritors or cultural workers, striving for the depth and authenticity of the experience.
【Travel Tips】
Season Selection:September is the month with the greatest landscape difference between northern and southern Xinjiang, with the poplar forests of southern Xinjiang and the autumn colors of northern Xinjiang appearing simultaneously;
Equipment Suggestions:The temperature difference between day and night is large, so you need to bring a windbreaker and sunscreen; the special train provides disposable slippers and earplugs, but it is recommended to bring your own neck pillow;
Photography Guide:Kanas Lake is best photographed in the early morning, and the morning mist at Hemu Village appears around 7:30-8:30, so you need to communicate with the guide in advance about the stopping point.
【Conclusion】
From desert to snow-capped mountains, from ancient cities to grasslands, the New National Train special train connects the essence of Xinjiang in 14 days. It is not just a means of transportation, but a moving cultural museum—here, every window is a viewfinder, and every whistle echoes the millennium-old camel bells. In 2026, why not board this special train and let the vastness and gentleness of Xinjiang become the most vivid chapter in your memory.
