New National Train:A Moving Scenic View Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang 🌄
I. Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination: A Deep Journey Across the Tianshan Mountains
In 2026, Xinjiang is welcoming visitors from all over with a more open attitude. As a ‘moving observation deck’ connecting northern and southern Xinjiang, the New National Train, with its unique soft sleeper compartment design and carefully planned itinerary, has become a popular choice for experiencing beautiful Xinjiang. This train is not just a journey, but an immersive travel experience blending natural scenery, human history, and folk customs.
The geographical boundary between northern and southern Xinjiang is the Tianshan Mountains. Northern Xinjiang is dominated by grasslands, lakes, and snow-capped mountains, while southern Xinjiang features deserts, Gobi, and ancient cities. The New National Train cleverly connects the highlights of both regions:Starting from Urumqi, crossing the Flaming Mountains of Turpan, visiting the Kunlun秘境 of Hotan, experiencing the thousand-year-old city of Kashgar, then heading north to the fairy-tale world of Kanas Lake, and finally returning to Urumqi. The entire journey lasts 14 days, covering over 80% of Xinjiang’s core attractions, allowing tourists to witness Xinjiang’s transformation from ‘Fire Land’ to ‘Snow Domain’ in comfortable carriages.
The train itself is also a highlight. The 4-person soft sleeper compartments are equipped with bathrooms, charging ports, and large viewing windows, ensuring privacy while allowing you to enjoy the passing scenery at any time. The dining car offers meals that blend the flavors of northern and southern Xinjiang, letting your taste buds embark on the journey too. Additionally, the train is staffed with professional guides who explain Xinjiang’s history and the cultures of various ethnic groups during the ride, making the trip more educational.
