🚂 Kunlun Special Train Pre-sale Opens｜Slow Travel Xinjiang 14 Days, Sleeper Direct to Core Scenic Spots in Southern and Northern Xinjiang
As the 2026 peak travel season approaches, the highly anticipated ‘Kunlun’ special train has fully opened pre-sales. As a high-end air-conditioned special train launched by Urumqi Group in 2023, the Kunlun, with its all-sleeper carriages, age-friendly design, immersive itinerary, and stable schedule, has become an ideal choice for medium-to-long-distance in-depth tours of Xinjiang. Unlike traditional group tours, the special train adopts a rhythm of ‘departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, touring by day and resting by night,’ focusing on sightseeing during the day and resting smoothly at night, without the need for frequent transfers or luggage handling throughout the journey, making it especially suitable for family trips and travel with elders.
🌄 Route Highlights:One train traverses the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, offering a panoramic view of diverse landforms
The Kunlun 14-day panoramic route spans Eastern, Southern, and Northern Xinjiang, as well as the Ili River Valley, linking the scorching Flaming Mountains, the wisdom of the Karez irrigation system, the profound history of Kashgar Old City, the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, the clarity of Sayram Lake, the lushness of Nalati and Kuerdening Grasslands, and the autumn scenery of Hemu and Kanas (with optimal viewing from May to September). The itinerary covers various natural and cultural landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, canyons, grasslands, desert edges, and historic districts, with a well-paced daily schedule to avoid high-intensity travel.
The special train has 8 sleeper carriages in total, offering a variety of room types: from economical four-person compartments (shared bathroom) to high-end double soft sleepers with washrooms, sofas, and desks, and highly private single-room premium suites, meeting different needs for comfort and privacy. The carriages are decorated with Xinjiang elements while focusing on practicality—non-slip floors, emergency call systems, 24-hour hot water, and noise-reducing shock absorption ensure a safe journey.
