✨ 【Tianfu: A mobile viewing platform crossing the Tianshan Mountains, unlocking a new way to deeply explore Xinjiang】✨
I. Route Highlights: A ‘Mobile Viewing Platform’ Designed for In-Depth Travel
Since its launch in 2024, the Tianfu tourist special train has become a new choice for Xinjiang travel, thanks to its unique design of ‘moving with the scenery, traveling day and night.’ This train, with Urumqi as its hub, connects classic destinations like Kanas and Hemu in northern Xinjiang, and Kashgar and Kuqa in southern Xinjiang, while also covering lesser-known gems like Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland. The 16-day itinerary covers 80% of Xinjiang’s core landscapes, making it especially suitable for travelers with ample time seeking an immersive experience.
The train features a ‘full soft sleeper carriage + scenic window’ design, with each carriage equipped with a viewing platform, allowing passengers to get off and take photos at any time. The carriages include a reading corner and a cocktail bar, with different themed activities arranged daily (such as stargazing lectures and ethnic music sharing sessions), making the journey anything but monotonous. The newly upgraded ‘Jinta Luxury Double Room’ in 2026 is equipped with an intelligent temperature control system and a panoramic sunroof, making it a popular choice for high-end travelers.
