🚂 【Slow Journey through the Western Regions, Autumn Exclusive】16-Day Panoramic Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang on the ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ Special Train
When autumn quietly spreads across the Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang welcomes its most serene and abundant season—the northern region is a tapestry of colorful forests, the southern region is fragrant with melons and fruits, grasslands turn golden, and snow-capped mountains appear clearer. Choosing a high-end tourist train that ‘departs in the evening and arrives in the morning, tours by day and rests by night’ allows you to avoid the summer crowds and immerse yourself in the ever-changing light and shadow of the Western Regions. In autumn 2026, the ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ Panda Special Train continues its unique positioning as a ‘mobile Bashu cultural space,’ decorating its carriages with Song Dynasty aesthetics and intangible cultural heritage elements. Over 16 days, it traverses 8,000 kilometers, allowing you to leisurely explore the essence of both northern and southern Xinjiang.
📍 Route and Destination In-Depth Experience
The ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ connects Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and cultural sites, covering the lakes and forests of northern Xinjiang, the vast grasslands of the Yili River Valley, the ancient cities on the plateau of southern Xinjiang, and the fiery oasis of Turpan. The itinerary includes natural wonders like Tianshan Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, as well as historical sites such as Kashgar Old City, Jiaohe Ancient City, and the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon. Notably, departures from June to September can traverse the Duku Highway (the October 2nd departure does not include this section), allowing you to cross gobi deserts, canyons, snow peaks, and spruce forests in a single day, experiencing rapid changes in terrain. Although autumn trips do not include the Duku Highway, the northern region is at its most colorful, with Hemu’s morning mist, Kanas’s golden leaves, and Sayram Lake’s crystal-clear mirror-like surface, offering a unique and tranquil poetic charm.
