🚂 Ride the ‘Gobi Cruise’ across the Tianshan Mountains, a 13-day slow journey through the panoramic views of Xinjiang — a brand new experience launching in 2026
Across the vast land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, lakes, and ancient cities weave a magnificent tapestry. Now, a more leisurely and comfortable way to travel is quietly gaining popularity — the ‘Gobi Cruise’ tourist special train. It’s not a real ship, yet it’s as smooth and comfortable as a cruise liner; it moves at a relaxed pace, traveling by day and resting by night, turning travel time into deep rest, allowing tourists to truly achieve the ideal rhythm of ‘sleeping on the way and waking up to the scenery.’
This special train is designed for a panoramic tour of northern and southern Xinjiang, covering key attractions like the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, Kuqa Grand Canyon, Kashgar Old City, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kanas, and Hemu, connecting the natural wonders and cultural imprints of the Silk Road. The carriages have been adapted for travel, equipped with air conditioning, bathrooms (depending on room type), hot water supply, and dedicated service, making it especially suitable for family trips or slow travel for seniors. The itinerary has a relaxed pace, with reasonable daily arrangements to avoid high-intensity travel while retaining ample free time and rest periods.
