🚂 Slow Travel Through Xinjiang by Train｜14-Day Deep Loop on the New National Train, Unlocking the Four-Season Scenery of the Tianshan Mountains
Xinjiang is vast with scattered attractions, making self-driving time-consuming and bus rides bumpy. The ‘train follows people, people play while train stops’ tourism train is becoming a top choice for many. In 2026, the ‘New National Train’ South and North Xinjiang tourism train offers two differentiated product lines—’Budget Edition’ and ‘Luxury Edition’—providing comfortable and worry-free travel across Xinjiang for different needs. The train departs in the evening and arrives in the morning, allowing deep exploration of scenic spots during the day and restful sleep on moving berths at night, with no need to change berths and luggage stays onboard, truly achieving ‘lying down to see the scenery’.
🌄 Route Highlights:One Journey, Experience the Best of Xinjiang
The New National Train connects the lake and mountain scenery of Northern Xinjiang with the cultural vibrancy of Southern Xinjiang, covering natural wonders like Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, as well as historical districts like Kashgar Old City, Yotkan Ancient City, and Tuancheng. The itinerary spans Turpan, Hotan, Kashgar, Kuqa, Yili, Altay, and more, including desert edges, Kunlun Mountain foothills, the eastern edge of the Pamir Plateau, and the heart of the Tianshan Mountains.
Notably, the route cleverly uses the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway, a recently opened loop section of the Taklamakan Desert railway, allowing tourists to cross the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert on a smooth, comfortable train, experiencing the blend of modern transportation and ancient oases. Additionally, the Luxury Edition includes stays in Hemu scenic area wooden houses and Nalati characteristic guesthouses for an immersive experience of misty villages and grassland starry skies.
