🌄 What is it like to travel slowly through Xinjiang by train?
No need to change hotels, no need to move luggage. Wake up to a different landscape outside your window. In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ Tour Train continues its role as a ‘moving home,’ taking tourists on an in-depth journey through northern and southern Xinjiang. As a high-end air-conditioned tour train launched by Urumqi in 2023, it adopts a ‘travel by day, ride by night’ model, exploring scenic spots during the day and traveling smoothly at night, balancing comfort and sightseeing efficiency. It is especially suitable for families and middle-aged and elderly tourists who prefer a relaxed pace and comprehensive service.
🚂 In-depth Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The ‘Kunlun’ Tour Train connects the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang: From the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan, to the Tianshan Grand Canyon in Kuqa; from the bustling streets of Kashgar Old City, to the白沙湖 and Panlong Ancient Road on the Pamir Plateau; then along the southern section of the Duku Highway, through the Bayanbulak Wetland and the Nalati Grassland in the sky, crossing lavender fields and Sayram Lake, finally arriving at Hemu and Kanas in the Altay region. The entire journey features diverse and changing landscapes – ochre rock layers, snowy mountains and lakes, grasslands and forests, and ancient Silk Road sites appear in turn, making it a quintessential panoramic tour of northern and southern Xinjiang.
In 2026, this 14-day itinerary has entered a phase of regular operation. Train stops are mostly set near scenic spots or city hubs to reduce transfer time. The carriage interiors incorporate ethnic folk elements such as Atlas silk patterns and wooden finishes, with each carriage named after a Xinjiang place (e.g., ‘Kashgar Car,’ ‘Yili Car’), creating a mobile space that combines regional characteristics with modern comfort.
