Tianshan Xinjiang Tourist Train:A Moving Scenic Line Through Majestic Mountains and Rivers🌄
(I) Route Highlights:A Panoramic Xinjiang Tour on the Train
As a signature product of Xinjiang tourism, the “Tianshan” tourist train is designed with the concept of a “moving star-rated hotel,” combining train travel with in-depth exploration. The newly upgraded train in 2026 features all soft sleeper carriages equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, and large viewing windows. Each carriage is recommended to have 10-16 berths to ensure travel comfort. The train runs at night and stops during the day, allowing tourists to travel thousands of miles in their sleep and wake up at a new attraction.
This route traverses northern and southern Xinjiang, connecting 12 5A-level scenic spots such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, and Sayram Lake, as well as popular check-in spots like the Pamir Plateau and Duku Highway. Specially designed “one carriage, one scene” themed carriages use decorative paintings, music, and commentary systems to let tourists feel the atmosphere before arriving at the attractions. The train is also equipped with a professional guide team that conducts lectures on Xinjiang’s history and culture during the journey, making the trip both educational and enjoyable.
