🚂 Xinjiang Yangtze River Delta Star Tourism Special Train Schedule from May to September Fully Announced:Travel slowly along the Silk Road by train, encountering the poetic seasons north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
In late spring of May and warm winds of June, Xinjiang enters its most pleasant travel season of the year. Vast grasslands don green attire, lakes are embedded like sapphires among the mountains, and populus euphratica at the desert’s edge quietly gather strength, awaiting autumn’s glory. In 2026, tourists from the Yangtze River Delta region can embark on a deep journey spanning east to west and traversing northern and southern Xinjiang via the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourism special train. Unlike the hustle of traditional group tours, the ‘train moves with people, overnight stays on the train’ model makes the journey itself a scenic experience.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights:See the essence of Xinjiang’s landscapes in one trip
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train itinerary covers three major regions: Southern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang, and Eastern Xinjiang, connecting diverse landscapes such as deserts, snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, ancient cities, and river valleys. From the Lop Nur Village at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert to Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau; from the yellow earth alleys of Kashgar’s old city to the magnificent canyons along the Duku Highway; and then to the clear blue waves of Sayram Lake and the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village—this route encompasses almost all of Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes.
Particularly noteworthy is the inclusion of visits to various ethnic groups and Kazakh families in the itinerary, where tourists can learn about the lifestyles and cultural traditions of different ethnicities while respecting local customs. All activities are based on voluntary participation, emphasizing experiential value over performance.
Additionally, the Duku Highway (recommended for summer opening only) along the special train route is hailed as ‘one of China’s most beautiful highways,’ offering views of vertical changes in glaciers, forests, meadows, and canyons—a must-see for photography enthusiasts. Heavenly Lake of Tianshan, as the final stop of the itinerary, reflects the snow-capped peak of Bogda Mountain on its surface, serene and tranquil, providing a perfect conclusion to the entire journey.
Note:The opening status of scenic spots and road conditions may be affected by weather or temporary policies. The travel agency will make reasonable changes to the itinerary order or stay times after obtaining tourist consent based on actual conditions.
