🚂 Xinjiang Kunlun Special Train 14-Day South and North Xinjiang In-Depth Tour Registration Guide | 2026 Latest Travel Guide
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, how can one travel efficiently and comfortably across the Tianshan Mountains? In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train continues with the concept of a ‘mobile star-rated hotel,’ offering tourists a travel style with a relaxed pace and in-depth experiences. It not only solves the transportation challenges posed by Xinjiang’s vast territory and scattered attractions but also, through the ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning; travel by night, tour by day’ model, makes the journey itself a part of the scenery.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Kunlun’ special train runs across the Tianshan Mountains, connecting the snowy mountains and lakes of Northern Xinjiang with the plateau secrets of Southern Xinjiang. The itinerary covers over 20 representative landscapes including Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak, Kashgar Old City, Baisha Lake, and the Panlong Ancient Road, balancing natural wonders with cultural experiences.
The train passes through scenic corridors like the Ahe Highway and the southern section of the Duku Highway. The scenery outside the window changes with the seasons: early spring in May, lush greenery and blooming flower seas from June to September, and a tapestry of autumn colors after mid-September. Whether it’s lakes and mountains, grasslands and pastures, Gobi Yardangs, or ancient city streets, they all unfold gradually to the rhythm of the special train.
It is worth mentioning that the itinerary includes several special experiences:Such as sailing on Sayram Lake, taking the Hemu Yunxiao Peak cable car, visiting a Tuvan family, enjoying Qiuci song and dance, and a Turpan fruit feast, making the journey more than just ‘seeing,’ but about ‘immersion.’
