🚂 Traveling Xinjiang by Soft Sleeper:Kunlun Special Train 14-Day Panoramic Tour: One Berth All the Way, No Train Changes
Want to see the best of both Northern and Southern Xinjiang in one trip, without dragging luggage to a new hotel every day or bumping along in a bus? In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train is redefining deep travel with its ‘travel by day, sleep by night, one berth all the way’ model—focus on sightseeing during the day, sleep soundly in a moving soft sleeper carriage at night, eliminating the hassle of frequent luggage moving and hotel changes, letting the journey truly return to comfort and ease.
🌄 Route and Destination Introduction
The ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train, launched by Urumqi in 2023, is a high-end tourism product designed specifically for travel across Xinjiang. It is not an ordinary passenger train but a mobile vacation space that integrates transportation, accommodation, some meals, and guide services. The train has 8 air-conditioned soft sleeper carriages with Xinjiang-style soft furnishings, and some compartments include washrooms, desks, sofas, and wardrobes, balancing privacy and comfort.
The route spans three major geographical units of Xinjiang—the Altai Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains—covering iconic landscapes in Northern Xinjiang like Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, and in Southern Xinjiang like Kashgar Old City, Baisha Lake, Taxkorgan, and Kuqa Grand Canyon. It also traverses the southern section of the Duku Highway, connecting diverse terrains from Gobi deserts to snowy peaks, lakes, oases, and alpine meadows. Complete a three-dimensional panoramic tour of Xinjiang in 14 days.
The itinerary includes a special transfer to a 7-seat business vehicle to cross the southern section of the Duku Highway (known as ‘four seasons in one day’), equipped with oxygen bottles and emergency medicine. On the Pamir Plateau section, tourists will switch to off-road vehicles to explore the Panlong Ancient Road and participate in visits to local ethnic families to experience the local lifestyle.
