🚂 Traveling Xinjiang by Train｜’New National Train’ 14-Day Deep Loop, Perfect in Late Spring and Early Summer!
In May, Xinjiang’s apricot blossoms have just faded, the grasslands are turning green, the snow-capped mountains remain unmelted, and the lake waters are clear—this is the season with the richest landscape layers in both southern and northern Xinjiang. In the spring of 2026, the ‘New National Train’ southern and northern Xinjiang tourism special train sets off again, using the railway as an axis to connect the natural wonders and cultural imprints of the Tianshan Mountains. Unlike regular bus tours, the ‘New National Train’ adopts a fixed carriage, exclusive compartments, and a no-car-change policy throughout the journey, making the trip itself a slow-enjoyment experience.
🌄 Route Highlights:One Special Train, Experience the Essence of Xinjiang’s Four Seasons
The ‘New National Train’ spans the desert oases of southern Xinjiang and the forest lakes of northern Xinjiang, covering core destinations like the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, the Kunlun Canyon in Hotan, Kashgar Old City,白沙湖 (Baisha Lake), Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, and Hemu within 14 days. It is especially suitable for tourists who want to see Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes at once without frequently moving luggage.
Transportation Advantages:The special train travels at night and allows sightseeing during the day, saving time and effort; the carriages are 4-person compartments (with upper and lower berths), offering better privacy than regular trains.
Seasonal Suitability:From May to early June, southern Xinjiang has pleasant temperatures (daily average 20–28°C), northern Xinjiang’s grasslands turn green, Sayram Lake’s ice melts, Kanas has abundant water, the五彩滩 (Colorful Beach) is vividly colored, and Hemu is shrouded in morning mist—all at an excellent viewing window.
Service Guarantee:One-stop tour guides are provided throughout the journey, and the Urumqi Station offers ‘Little Red Cap’ luggage handling services, achieving a seamless ‘get off and play, get on and rest’ experience.
> ⚠️ Note:The opening status of scenic spots and road conditions may be affected by weather or temporary policies. The travel agency will make reasonable adjustments to the itinerary based on actual conditions before departure, with the consent of tourists.
