🚂 Traveling Slowly Through Xinjiang by Train｜The ‘Gobi Cruise’ Special Train Sets Off Anew in 2026, a 13-Day Panoramic Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
On the vast land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, deserts, and ancient cities intertwine into a magnificent picture. For middle-aged and elderly tourists who wish to avoid long bumpy rides and seek a comfortable pace, the ‘Gobi Cruise’ tourist special train offers a unique way to travel—with the railway as the main mode of transport, the carriage is a mobile home, visiting scenic spots during the day and sleeping peacefully amidst the scenery at night.
This special train does not actually sail on water but is a vivid name for a double-decker air-conditioned tourist train traveling through the Gobi, oases, and the Tianshan Mountains. In 2026, the ‘Gobi Cruise’ continues to optimize its route design, launching three different tiers of 13-day itinerary products, covering representative destinations in northern and southern Xinjiang such as Turpan, Kuqa, Kashgar, Nalati, Sayram Lake, Kanas, and Hemu, balancing natural wonders and cultural experiences, suitable for travelers who value comfort and rhythm.
🌄 Route Highlights:One Journey, See All of Xinjiang’s Diverse Landscapes
The ‘Gobi Cruise’ special train spans the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, covering the scorching Flaming Mountains, the vast Aydingkol Lake, the majestic Keziliya Grand Canyon, the clear白沙湖 (Baisha Lake) and Karakul Lake, the lush Nalati Grassland, the azure Sayram Lake, and the autumn fairy tale of Kanas and Hemu (depending on season and road conditions). The entire journey is mainly connected by rail, with short-distance buses recommended between scenic spots, significantly reducing continuous travel time, making it more suitable for those who want a relaxed trip.
Additionally, the itinerary includes multiple cultural experiences, such as visiting the ancient architectural complex on Restan Street, exploring the Hetian Jade Exhibition Hall, strolling through the old city of Kashgar, and experiencing the historical atmosphere around Id Kah Mosque. In terms of dining, it includes several special meals, such as Nine Bowls and Three Rows, Fragrant Princess Banquet, and Medicinal Diet Hotpot, allowing your taste buds to join this Western Regions journey.
