🚂 Tianshan Xinjiang Tourist Train:A Moving Silk Road Scroll Journey
On the vast land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, and ancient cities intertwine into a magnificent long scroll. The ‘Tianshan’ tourist train is the most leisurely way to view this scroll—no need for frequent transfers or luggage handling, as the train slowly travels between northern and southern Xinjiang, with the scenery outside the window unfolding like a movie. In 2026, this deep-loop route continues with the model of ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people move with the train,’ offering tourists an immersive experience of Xinjiang’s natural beauty and cultural charm.
🌄 Detailed Route and Destinations
The ‘Tianshan’ is not an ordinary train but a tourist train specially designed for in-depth Xinjiang tours, combining transportation and accommodation functions. The entire journey covers core scenic spots in northern Xinjiang, such as Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, as well as southern Xinjiang’s Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, and Wensu Grand Canyon, allowing a panoramic view of the Tianshan Mountains from north to south in one trip.
The itinerary includes high-altitude lakes above 3,000 meters (such as Karakul Lake), as well as the ‘picturesque’ Kanas Three Bays; it features the lingering fragrance of lavender in the Ili River Valley (around Liuxing Street) and the Flaming Mountain wonder in the Turpan Basin. The train passes through the southern section of the Duku Highway, crossing the heart of the Tianshan Mountains, with diverse landscapes along the way, allowing travelers to experience four seasons in a single day.
Notably, the tourist train arranges stays at local four-diamond or higher standard hotels in Xinjiang and uses 2+1 aviation-style seat buses for transfers to scenic spots, ensuring travel comfort. The train is equipped with dedicated guides and onboard medical staff to handle emergencies and ensure a smooth itinerary.
