🚂 Xinjiang Kunlun Special Train:A 14-Day Scenic Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
If you’ve ever been daunted by Xinjiang’s vast expanse yet yearn for a relaxed, in-depth journey without rushing or switching transport, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train launching in 2026 might be just what you need. This high-end air-conditioned tourist train, developed in Urumqi, is not just ordinary transportation but a mobile travel space integrating accommodation, dining, sightseeing, and cultural experiences. Disembark during the day to explore key attractions, and sleep soundly in the stable carriage at night—truly achieving the rhythm of ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning; travel by day, rest by night’.
🌄 Route Highlights:See All Key Landscapes of Northern and Southern Xinjiang in One Go
The Kunlun’s 14-day itinerary spans the Tianshan Mountains, connecting the lakes and grasslands of Northern Xinjiang with the ancient cities and plateaus of Southern Xinjiang. From the serene autumn colors of Kanas Lake (lush green in summer too) to the sapphire-like surface of Sayram Lake; from the白沙湖 and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau to the mottled earthen walls of Kashgar Old City and the solemn silhouette of Id Kah Mosque; and then to the magnificent canyons along the southern section of the Duku Highway and the sunset at the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak… natural scenery and cultural relics intertwine.
Additionally, the itinerary incorporates several unique experiences:Sailing on Sayram Lake, taking the Yunxiao Peak cable car for a panoramic view of Hemu Village, visiting local homes for interactive exchanges, and enjoying Qiuci song and dance performances. These activities are not superficial check-ins but are arranged at 1-2 key scenic spots per day, with ample time for a slow-paced, experience-focused travel style.
It’s worth noting that the special train route is carefully planned, with some sections delving into areas hard for regular tour groups to reach. The scenery outside the window constantly changes—Gobi, snow-capped mountains, pastures, and oases alternate, making the journey itself a moving landscape.
