In 2026, the ‘Tianshan’ continues to start and end in Urumqi, adopting a ‘travel by day, sleep by night, single berth throughout’ model, connecting the natural wonders of Northern Xinjiang with the cultural landscapes of Southern Xinjiang. The entire journey eliminates the need for frequent luggage handling and vehicle transfers, making it especially suitable for travelers who value comfort and a steady pace.

The ‘Tianshan’ train is not an ordinary train but a culturally themed train with senior-friendly modifications, equipped with a dining car, multi-functional carriages, and basic medical support. The itinerary covers Xinjiang’s most representative destinations: from the ‘picturesque fairyland’ of Tianshan Tianchi, to the secret realm of Kanas Lake and the fairy-tale village of Hemu in Northern Xinjiang; from Sayram Lake, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ to the aerial grasslands of Nalati and the winding bends of Bayanbulak; then deep into the Pamir Plateau, visiting Karakul Lake and the Stone City ruins, and finally entering the ancient city of Kashgar to experience the legacy of the Silk Road.
The landscapes along the way are diverse—snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, deserts, oases, and ancient cities appear in turn. The daily sightseeing pace is relaxed, avoiding high-intensity travel. The train runs smoothly at night, allowing you to focus on sightseeing during the day, truly achieving ‘sleep on the way, wake up to the view.’
