🌄 Route Highlights and In-Depth Destination Introduction
The ‘Kunlun’ special tourist train is a high-end tourist train launched by Urumqi in 2023, designed for an in-depth experience of the natural and cultural landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang.

Along the way, travelers can experience the grandeur of deserts and Gobi, the soft beauty of snowy mountains and grasslands, and enjoy traditional ethnic crafts, song and dance performances, and local cuisine, such as the grape feast in Turpan, baked buns in Kashgar, and horse milk wine in Yili, making it suitable for travelers seeking quality and cultural depth.

The grasslands of Yili are in full bloom, with Nalati and Kuerdening suitable for hiking and photography;
The waters of Kanas are clear, and the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay) are shrouded in morning mist, creating picturesque scenery;
Wildflowers bloom around Sayram Lake, offering water activities like sailing and cycling;
Temperatures in Turpan are high, but the shade and fruit feast in Grape Valley provide relief from the heat.
