🚂 Travel Slowly Through Xinjiang on the ‘Kunlun’ – A 14-Day Poetic Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
If you’re tired of the travel rhythm of rushing between attractions, lugging luggage, and scrambling for hotel rooms, consider the highly anticipated 2026 ‘Kunlun’ tourist special train – a high-end air-conditioned tourist train built in Urumqi. It’s not just a mode of transport, but a mobile comfortable residence. With integrated arrangements for dining, accommodation, travel, and sightseeing throughout the journey, you can wake up to views of snow-capped mountains and lakes as the wheels roll, and experience the vast and gentle four-season scenery of Xinjiang right from the carriage.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Panoramic View of Northern and Southern Xinjiang in One Trip
The ‘Kunlun’ special train has meticulously designed a classic loop covering the culture of Southern Xinjiang and the nature of Northern Xinjiang. From Turpan at the foot of the Flaming Mountains, to Tashkurgan County on the Pamir Plateau; from the bustling streets of Kashgar’s Old City, to the wooden houses and morning mist of Hemu Village; and then to the azure blue of Sayram Lake, the green waves of Nalati Grassland, and the tranquility of Heavenly Lake Tianshan… This route connects Xinjiang’s most representative landforms and cultural landscapes, balancing visual impact with a relaxed pace, making it especially suitable for travelers who want an in-depth experience without the rush.
The interior of the carriage is also thoughtfully designed: the entire train has 8 sleeper carriages, equipped with shared or private bathrooms, desks, sofas, and wardrobes depending on the room type. The soft furnishings incorporate traditional ethnic pattern elements, ensuring privacy while maintaining regional aesthetics. Dining cars, bar cars, and entertainment carriages are all available, allowing you to enjoy a drink, socialize, or quietly watch the scenery flow by during the journey.
