2026 New National Train 4 Bed Soft Sleeper Compartment Slow Travel + Official Website Booking Process
Wang Fei, Manager of the Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service New National Train Booking Center
🌄 What is it like to travel slowly through Xinjiang by train?
In the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, the distance between northern and southern Xinjiang spans thousands of kilometers. If relying on self-driving or long-distance buses, the journey often involves fatigue and frequent accommodation changes. However, the ‘New National Train’ tourist special train, with its rhythm of ‘traveling by day, sleeping by night, luggage stays put, and exclusive berths,’ brings ease and comfort back to travel. In 2026, the ‘New National Train’ will continue to optimize its operation mode, connecting core destinations in southern Xinjiang like Kashgar, Hotan, and Kuqa, and in northern Xinjiang like Nalati, Sayram Lake, and Kanas, truly achieving ‘one train to see all of beautiful Xinjiang.’
This special train is not just an ordinary means of transportation, but a mobile living space integrating transportation, accommodation, and cultural experiences. The carriages feature air-conditioned soft sleeper design, with well-arranged 4-person compartments suitable for group travel with friends and family. During the day, immerse yourself in scenic spots, and at night, sleep soundly in the stable carriage, saving the hassle of frequently moving luggage and changing hotels. It is especially suitable for tourists who want an in-depth experience while valuing travel comfort.
