🌄 Route and Destination Introduction
In 2026, the ‘Splendid Tianfu’ focuses on a 16-day panoramic itinerary across northern and southern Xinjiang, spanning the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, covering diverse landscapes such as northern Xinjiang’s lakes and grasslands, the Ili River Valley, the Duku Highway, southern Xinjiang’s ancient cities, and the Pamir Plateau. Starting from Urumqi, it passes through Hemu, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Kuqa, Kashgar, Turpan, and more, traversing snow-capped mountains, forests, deserts, oases, and cultural ancient cities, showcasing Xinjiang’s distinct four-season natural scenery.
The train’s interior design incorporates intangible cultural heritage elements like Shu embroidery, lacquerware, and bamboo weaving. The carriages feature a welcome area, dining car, sightseeing and entertainment carriage, and various themed compartments, creating a new Chinese-style elegant atmosphere. Along the way, activities such as Sichuan opera face-changing, Song-style tea ceremonies, and cultural lectures may be arranged (subject to daily schedules) to enhance the cultural immersion of the journey.
The entire trip adopts a ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning; sightsee by day, sleep by night’ model. During the day, you explore scenic spots in depth, and at night, you sleep comfortably in the train compartment, with luggage stored onboard, truly achieving a relaxed travel experience of ‘no luggage moving, no hotel changes.’
