🚂 【Tianshan Special Train · Slow Tour of Xinjiang】—— A Moving Home Starting from Urumqi, Crossing Four Seasons of Scenery
If you long for the vast grasslands, azure lakes, snow-capped mountains, canyons, and oasis ancient cities that weave the tapestry of Xinjiang, and also desire a comfortable and worry-free journey, the ‘Tianshan’ tourist special train might be your ideal choice. This themed train, featuring all-sleeper berths, does not depart from inland cities but gathers in Urumqi. Travelers need to arrive in Urumqi on their own to board the train. This means the itinerary is more flexible, making it easier for passengers from different departure points across the country to connect their transportation according to their own arrangements.
🌄 Route Highlights:Spanning Northern and Southern Xinjiang, See the Best of Xinjiang in One Trip
The ‘Tianshan’ special train covers the core scenic areas across Xinjiang:From the clear reflections of Tianchi Lake at Tianshan to the fairy-tale autumn colors of Kanas Lake; from the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village to the colorful Yadan landforms of Wucaitan; then through the crystal-clear ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic’ at Sayram Lake, crossing the steep and magnificent Guozigou Bridge, deep into the Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley and the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak; then heading south along the Duku Highway, straight to Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau and the Golden Grassland in Taxian County, finally returning to the Flaming Mountains and Grape Manor in Turpan. The entire route connects nearly 20 well-known scenic spots, balancing natural wonders and cultural experiences, with a well-paced rhythm.
It is worth mentioning that the special train adopts a ‘rest on the train, explore off the train’ model, allowing deep exploration during the day and peaceful sleep in the stable sleeper carriages at night, greatly alleviating the fatigue of long-distance travel. In terms of meals, in addition to three daily meals, local flavors such as big plate chicken, hand-grabbed rice, and baked buns are included, satisfying the taste buds’ imagination of Silk Road customs.
