🚂 [New Concept of Slow Travel:Measuring the Vastness and Gentleness of the Western Regions by Special Train]
In this fast-paced era, ‘slowing down’ has become a luxury. In 2026, more and more tourists are choosing the ‘travel by day, sleep by night’ special train mode to start a Xinjiang journey without rushing, just enjoying the scenery. The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourist special train is precisely such a route that balances comfort and in-depth experience—immersing in snow-capped mountains, deserts, grasslands, and ancient cities during the day, sleeping soundly on the smoothly moving train at night, and waking up to the next scenic spot. This 17-day journey spans southern and northern Xinjiang, connecting classic destinations like Korla, Kashgar, Nalati, Hemu, and Sayram Lake, making the journey itself a pleasure.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Journey Through Diverse Landscapes and Cultures
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train departs from Shanghai, heading west through the Hexi Corridor into the heart of Xinjiang. The itinerary covers the Lop Nur village on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, the White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, the thousand-year-old ancient city of Kashgar in southern Xinjiang, the Kizil Gorge at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, the Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley, Sayram Lake known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ and the northern Xinjiang hidden gems of Kanas and Hemu Village.
Unlike the tight pace of regular group tours, the special train adopts a ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning’ mode, reducing daytime travel and leaving more time for sightseeing and rest. The carriages are equipped with bathrooms, air conditioning, soft sleeper berths, and public leisure areas, suitable for families, friends, or senior groups traveling together. For land segments, regular tourist buses are used, and accommodation standards are local comfortable hotels or characteristic guesthouses (specific room types subject to actual contract).
It should be noted that Xinjiang is vast, and some road sections are affected by seasons, weather, or traffic controls. The travel agency, while ensuring core attractions, can negotiate with tourists to reasonably adjust the itinerary order to maximize experience.
