🚂 Traveling Slowly Through Xinjiang by Train｜The 13-Day ‘Gobi Cruise’ Special Train, an Immersive Journey Across Mountains, Rivers, Lakes, and Deserts
Want to see all of Xinjiang in the most comfortable way? No need to switch hotels frequently, no need to lug luggage between stops, no need to bump along the Gobi for hours—the newly upgraded 2026 ‘Gobi Cruise’ tourist special train uses the railway as its axis, connecting the best landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang, bringing ease and poetry back to the journey.
This trip is not a superficial check-in tour, but a deep, slow-paced exploration with diverse experiences. From the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the Pamir Plateau in Kashgar, from the lavender fields of the Ili River Valley to Kanas Lake in Altay, the snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, ancient cities, and yardang landforms of Xinjiang unfold gradually over 13 days.
🌄 Route Highlights:Why Choose the ‘Gobi Cruise’?
Train Follows You, No Berth Changes Throughout:The special train features customized double-decker air-conditioned carriages, offering 2-person or 4-person compartments depending on the cabin type. Large luggage can be stored on the train, eliminating the hassle of frequent baggage handling.
Golden Transportation Combination:With the railway as the main route, short transfers between scenic spots are handled by compliant tourist buses, greatly reducing long-distance travel fatigue, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly travelers and those seeking a comfortable experience.
Covers Core Scenic Spots of Northern and Southern Xinjiang:The itinerary includes over 20 representative attractions such as the Flaming Mountains, Karez Well System, Keziliya Grand Canyon, Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kanas, Hemu, Colorful Beach, and Tianshan Tianchi.
Rich Special Experiences:Some departures include hot spring bathing on ancient roads, the Kashgar Old City opening ceremony, ethnic costume photography (with retouched digital photos), and special meals like cold-water fish feasts and medicinal hot pot (subject to actual arrangements).
Comprehensive Service Guarantee:Provides 24-hour free airport/train station pickup, professional guides and drivers accompany the entire trip, and no shopping stops are arranged throughout the itinerary.
> Note:Due to uncontrollable factors such as weather, road conditions, and scenic area policies, the travel agency may reasonably modify the itinerary with the consent of tourists, striving to maintain the experience.
