🚂 Yangtze River Delta Star Tourist Special Train Passenger Consultation Details:A Slow Travel Experience Across East and West
For travelers who prefer a relaxed pace, comprehensive service, and wide itinerary coverage, taking a tourist special train deep into the heart of Xinjiang is a uniquely charming choice. In 2026, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourist special train will continue to operate, using a ‘travel by day, ride by night, train follows people’ model to connect the magnificent panorama from the coast of the East China Sea to the Pamir Plateau. This 17-day journey not only covers the three major sections of southern Xinjiang’s culture, northern Xinjiang’s nature, and eastern Xinjiang’s landscapes but also makes the journey itself an enjoyable part of the experience through comfortable train configurations and carefully arranged land segments.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights Introduction
This itinerary spans northern and southern Xinjiang, covering multiple iconic scenic areas:
Korla and the Taklamakan Desert:The journey begins westward into southern Xinjiang, visiting the Lop Nur Village, experiencing the historical marks along the Tarim River, and venturing to the edge of the world’s second-largest shifting desert to appreciate the vastness of the desert.
Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau: Stroll through the old city of Kashgar, visit the Id Kah Mosque and the High Terrace Folk Houses (Note: The High Terrace Folk Houses are a historical and cultural district; specific opening conditions are subject to the day’s announcement by the scenic area); then travel along the China-Pakistan Friendship Highway to Tashkurgan, passing by Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake, with a distant view of the snow-capped peak of Muztagh Ata.
Duku Highway and Bayanbulak:Cross the Duku Highway, known as the ‘backbone running through the Tianshan Mountains’ (Note: This section is seasonally open, and traffic conditions are affected by weather), arriving at China’s second-largest grassland, Bayanbulak, to enjoy the sunset spectacle of the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns.
Yili River Valley Scenic Belt:The Nalati Sky Grassland is lush and green, and Sayram Lake is as blue as a mirror, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean,’ a gem among alpine lakes.
Northern Xinjiang’s Hidden Gem Kanas:Hem Village is shrouded in morning mist, with wooden houses scattered among birch forests; Kanas Lake changes color with the light, and the Three Bays (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, and Crouching Dragon Bay) form classic photographic compositions.
