🚂 [Traveling Slowly Through Xinjiang by Train, 14 Days Immersed in Northern and Southern Xinjiang — A New Travel Experience on the ‘Kunlun’ Special Train]
In today’s fast-paced modern life, more and more travelers are seeking the deep experience of ‘slow travel.’ In 2026, Xinjiang railway tourism continues to upgrade. The ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train, a high-end product launched by Urumqi Group in 2023, has become a popular choice for many tourists, especially the elderly, thanks to its flexible model of ‘the train moves with the people, and people play while the train stops.’ The entire journey uses the train as a ‘mobile hotel,’ eliminating the hassle of frequently changing hotels and moving luggage. During the day, you visit the highlights, and at night, you sleep comfortably in a sleeper berth, waking up at the next stop—this relaxed yet structured pace perfectly aligns with the current concept of travel and living.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Kunlun’ special train runs through the core scenic areas of northern and southern Xinjiang, covering diverse landscapes on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains:From the Turpan Oasis at the foot of the Flaming Mountains to the白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and the Panlong Ancient Road on the Pamir Plateau; from the historic streets of Kashgar Old City in southern Xinjiang to the primeval forests and Hemu villages by Kanas Lake in northern Xinjiang; then to the lavender estates in the Ili River Valley, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, and the sunset wonders of the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns at Bayanbulak… The 14-day itinerary connects deserts, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, and cultural settlements, showcasing the rich layers of Xinjiang’s nature and culture.
The train is fully equipped with sleeper berths, and the carriages feature soft furnishings incorporating Xinjiang elements to create a warm travel atmosphere. Some room types include bathrooms, sofas, desks, and wardrobes, meeting the needs of different passengers for privacy and comfort. Public areas have a dining car offering meals with local flavors, such as baked buns, hand-pulled rice, and big plate chicken, allowing your taste buds to start the journey as well.
