🚂 What is it like to travel slowly through Xinjiang by train?
In the fast-paced era of travel, ‘slowness’ has become a rare luxury. In 2026, Xinjiang’s tourist trains continue to upgrade. The ‘Tianshan Hao’, as a mid-to-high-end comfortable product, adopts a unique model of ‘departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, the train follows the travelers, and the train stops while people play’. This allows tourists to explore deeply during the day and rest peacefully at night in a moving home. It does not pursue the number of check-ins but uses 13 days to connect the clarity of Tianchi Lake in the Tianshan Mountains, the lingering autumn of Kanas, the melting blue ice of Sayram Lake, the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, and the lively atmosphere of Kashgar Old City—without changing berths or moving luggage throughout the journey, truly realizing ‘lying down and traveling through beautiful Xinjiang’.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Panoramic View of Xinjiang Across Four Seasons
The ‘Tianshan Hao’ is not an ordinary train but a mobile vacation space integrating accommodation, dining, and leisure. The carriages use the upgraded Blue Diamond car bodies replaced from the original ‘New Orient Express’, combined with Silver Diamond series configurations. The interior is decorated with the concept of ‘one carriage, one scene’, incorporating ethnic patterns and Silk Road elements, without being overwhelming, focusing on creating a peaceful and comfortable travel atmosphere.
The itinerary covers the forests and lakes of Northern Xinjiang, the grasslands and flower seas of the Ili River Valley, the ancient cities and plateaus of Southern Xinjiang, and the Flaming Mountains and Karez of Eastern Xinjiang, encompassing almost the essence of Xinjiang’s geography and culture. Particularly worth looking forward to are:
Sayram Lake:From April to May, the lake’s ice layer gradually melts, with clear blue water contrasting with residual snow, and the Guozigou Bridge spanning the valley like a rainbow;
Southern Section of the Duku Highway:Fully open after July, from the winding bends of Bayanbulak down to Kuqa, experiencing four seasons in one day;
Kashgar Old City:In 2026, ongoing protective renovations will preserve its character, with century-old teahouses and handicraft workshops still vibrant;
White Sand Lake:Located in the heart of the Pamir Plateau, the lake water is clear as a mirror, reflecting Muztagh Ata Peak, a favorite for photography enthusiasts.
