🚂 [Kunlun Special Train Pre-sale Opens｜14-Day Slow Tour of Southern and Northern Xinjiang, Comfortable Departure Just in Time]
As the 2026 Xinjiang tourism peak season approaches, the highly anticipated ‘Kunlun’ high-end tourist special train has fully opened for booking. Launched by China Railway Urumqi Group in 2023 as a premium cultural tourism train, the Kunlun features all-sleeper design, age-friendly configurations, and immersive itineraries, offering travelers a deep travel experience of ‘train follows people, travel by day and sleep by night.’ Unlike the rushed pace of regular group tours, this special train arranges long-distance travel at night, focusing on sightseeing during the day. Luggage doesn’t need to be moved, with a single berth throughout, making it especially suitable for elderly and family travelers seeking comfort and ease.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The 14-day Kunlun itinerary spans the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains, covering core scenic areas of Eastern, Southern, and Northern Xinjiang, linking diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, ancient cities, and wetlands. From the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan, to the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon and Qiuci culture in Kuqa; from the白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, to the ‘Today I’ve Walked All the Twists and Turns’ at the Panlong Ancient Road in Taxian; then crossing the southern section of the Duku Highway to the Bayinbuluke Grassland, passing through Nalati and Kuerdening to the ‘Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall’ Yili River Valley; finally visiting Sayram Lake, ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ and delving into the secret realms of Hemu and Kanas to enjoy the morning mist of Three Bays and the sunset at Colorful Beach. The entire journey balances natural wonders and cultural heritage, with a relaxed pace and reasonable daily sightseeing time, avoiding high-intensity rushing.
The train carriages are configured to high standards: the entire train has 8 sleeper carriages, offering multiple room types, including four-person compartments (shared bathroom), two-person compartments (shared bathroom/flat berth/private bathroom), and premium single rooms. The soft sleeper carriages incorporate Xinjiang-style decorative elements, with some room types equipped with washrooms, sofas, desks, and wardrobes. Night travel uses vibration-dampening and noise-reduction technology to ensure sleep quality. The train also features a dining car serving nutritious meals blending Xinjiang flavors and home-style tastes, with dietary preferences that can be reported in advance.
