🚂 【Gobi Cruise Special Train · Slow Travel Xinjiang】—— A 13-Day Moving Scenic Route Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In this fast-paced era, a truly ‘slow down’ journey is especially precious. In 2026, the ‘Gobi Cruise’ air-conditioned tourist special train uses the railway as a link, connecting the classic scenery of the Tianshan Mountains, allowing tourists to watch the desert, snow-capped mountains, lakes, and grasslands unfold in turn from the comfortable carriage. This is not an ordinary train journey, but a flowing immersive experience—outside the window is a changing natural picture, inside is a warm and homely resting space.
🌄 Route Highlights:One Train, See the Best of Xinjiang
The ‘Gobi Cruise’ special train spans east and west Xinjiang, covering iconic destinations such as Kashgar Old City in southern Xinjiang, Karakul Lake at the gateway to the Pamir Plateau, and Sayram Lake, Kanas, and Hemu in northern Xinjiang. The train features fully air-conditioned carriages, equipped with professional attendants and onboard medical staff, balancing comfort and safety.
According to the latest 2026 operational arrangements, the special train is divided into three seat levels: Enjoy, Premium, and Luxury, to meet different travel needs. The route design fully considers seasonal factors: for example, when the Duku Highway is not fully open in May, the itinerary will flexibly switch to air connections (such as flying from Kuqa to Yining or Nalati) to ensure the tour experience is not affected.
Along the way, you will encounter the heat of the Flaming Mountains, the vastness of Aydingkol Lake, the oasis culture of the Lop Nur Village, and the rolling grasslands of Nalati. Notably, the itinerary includes multiple in-depth experience points, such as strolling through Kashgar Old City, exploring Restan Street, and visiting the Lavender Sightseeing Garden, avoiding a superficial tour.
Please note that due to Xinjiang’s vast territory and uncertain climate and road conditions, the travel agency reserves the right to reasonably optimize the itinerary order or transportation methods after obtaining tourist consent based on actual circumstances.
