🌄 Route Highlights and Destination Details (Based on 2026 Real-time Information)
Xinjiang is vast, with scattered attractions, and transportation connections are often a pain point for tourists. The ‘New National Train’ cleverly utilizes the railway network to cover core areas like Hotan, Kashgar, and Kuqa in Southern Xinjiang, and Nalati, Sayram Lake, Kanas, and Hemu in Northern Xinjiang, forming an efficient and in-depth loop.
Turpan:In 2026, the Flaming Mountain scenic area continues to be open. Summer surface temperatures remain high, but the scenic area has improved shaded walkways and viewing platforms. The Karez well, as an ancient water conservancy project, is open for visits year-round, with commentary services operating normally.
Hotan:The Tuancheng historical and cultural district, after recent renovations, has become an important window for displaying local traditional architecture and handicrafts. The Atlas silk workshop supports visitors in experiencing the weaving process.
Kashgar Old City:As of May 2026, the old city is open all day without reservation, with abundant travel photography services, but it is recommended to avoid holiday peak periods.
Baisak Lake and Karakul Lake:Located along National Highway G314, the lake water is clear, with Muztagh Ata as the backdrop. It is accessible year-round, though some sections of the road may be restricted in winter due to snow, but travel is smooth from May to September.
Southern Section of the Duku Highway (Kuqa to Bayanbulak):In 2026, it is expected to open to all traffic in early June, with July and August being the optimal travel period. The canyons, grasslands, and wetlands along the way are magnificent.
Nalati and Hemu:Nalati scenic area implements time-slot reservation for entry, with sufficient daily reception capacity during the 2026 peak season. Wooden house accommodation in Hemu scenic area needs to be booked in advance, and the special train product includes room types.
Sayram Lake:In 2026, eco-friendly sightseeing buses continue to be used for transfers. Private cars cannot directly reach the core area, but the special train group enjoys a green channel.
Tianshan Tianchi:Open year-round. In May, the lake surface thaws, mountain flowers begin to bloom, and the number of tourists is moderate, suitable for a quiet visit.
