🚂 Traveling slowly through Xinjiang by train, the Kunlun Special Train starts a 14-day panoramic journey
In the fast-paced era of travel, more and more tourists are seeking a ‘slow down’ deep experience. In 2026, the high-end tourist special train built by Urumqi—the Kunlun—is becoming a new choice for many travelers to explore Xinjiang, with its comfortable carriages, reasonable pace, and itinerary covering the essence of northern and southern Xinjiang. Unlike the tight schedule of traditional group tours, the Kunlun adopts the concept of a ‘moving home,’ making the journey itself part of the scenery.
🌄 Route and Destination Introduction
The Kunlun tourist special train officially began operation in 2023, positioned as a high-quality air-conditioned tourist train with all sleeper berths, blending modern facilities with regional cultural elements. The train runs across the Tianshan Mountains, connecting the scorching Flaming Mountains of Turpan, the ancient charm of Kuqa’s Kucha, the Silk Road style of Kashgar, the vast lakes of the Pamir Plateau, the grassland flower seas of the Ili River Valley, and the forest lake secrets of the Altay region.
The entire route covers Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes: from the Karez wells at the foot of the Flaming Mountains to the red rock walls of the Tianshan Grand Canyon; from the clear reflections of Baisha Lake to the vast blue waves of Sayram Lake; from the lush greenery of the Nalati Sky Grassland to the misty morning scenes of Kanas Three Bays. Throughout the trip, there is no need to frequently change hotels; luggage travels with the train, truly achieving ‘get off and play, get on and rest.’
The interior of the carriages is equipped with corresponding facilities based on different room types. Soft sleeper carriages feature single sofas, desks, and wardrobes, with some rooms even having washrooms. The train has a total of 8 sleeper carriages, flexibly meeting the travel needs of different tourists.
