🚂 [New National Train Soft Sleeper Special Train – One Berth All the Way · Panoramic Tour of Southern and Northern Xinjiang]
——In late spring and early summer of 2026, travel by train to see all of the Tianshan Mountains, north and south
On the vast map of Xinjiang, from the Kunlun Mountains in the south to the Altai Mountains in the north, the scenery is ever-changing. Now, a more relaxed and comfortable way of traveling is quietly emerging: take the ‘New National Train’ tourist special train, with soft sleeper compartments throughout, one berth all the way, no need to frequently move luggage, truly realizing ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people are in the picture.’ This 14-day loop tour of southern and northern Xinjiang covers natural wonders such as deserts, snow-capped mountains, lakes, and grasslands, and also connects cultural nodes like ancient cities, silk workshops, and folk neighborhoods, making the journey both deep and relaxed.
🌄 Route Highlights:One train, experience the beauty of all four seasons in Xinjiang
In 2026, the ‘New National Train’ special train has been upgraded to a regular tourist transport carrier, using new air-conditioned soft sleeper carriages, with 4-person compartments equipped with reading lights, charging ports, and storage space. Travel by night and sightsee by day, greatly enhancing comfort. The route design cleverly avoids repeated backtracking, forming a loop that passes through core areas such as Urumqi, Turpan, Hotan, Kashgar, Kuqa, Nalati, Sayram Lake, and Kanas, covering classic attractions like Tianshan Tianchi, Baisha Lake, Colorful Beach, Hemu Village, and the southern section of the Duku Highway.
Particularly noteworthy is the arrangement to traverse the He-Ruo Railway—a railway opened in 2022 that circles the Taklamakan Desert, the first desert loop railway in China. Sitting on the steady train, with endless sand dunes and scattered oases outside the window, you experience ‘flowing scenery,’ which is highly contemporary and geographically significant.
Additionally, the luxury version specially arranges stays in wooden houses within Hemu Scenic Area and high-quality hotels in Nalati Town, allowing tourists to immerse themselves in the misty morning villages and starry grasslands during prime time, avoiding the rush of day trips.
