Tired of rushing between attractions, lugging luggage, and switching hotels on a hectic trip? In the spring and summer of 2026, a tourism special train combining rail transport and immersive sightseeing—’An Yi Hao’—is slowly heading from Chengdu or Lanzhou to the vast Xinjiang. This is not just a journey, but a relaxed lifestyle: traveling by night and sightseeing by day, the carriage as your home, with a gentle pace, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends, family groups, or travelers seeking a quality slow trip.
🌄 Scenery Along the Way:16 Days Crossing the Essence of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
The ‘An Yi Hao’ special train spans Gansu, delves deep into Xinjiang, connecting the snowy mountains and lakes of Northern Xinjiang with the oases and ancient cities of Southern Xinjiang, covering over 20 core landmarks including Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kashgar Old City, and Turpan Grape Valley. The itinerary balances natural wonders and cultural experiences, with diverse landscapes—from the forest lakes of the Altai Mountains to the grassland flower seas of the Ili River Valley; from the white sands and blue waters of the Pamir Plateau to the Flaming Mountains and Karez wells of the Turpan Basin—a constantly changing scenery, unfolding like a scroll.
Tianchi Lake (D3):A high-altitude lake at 1900 meters, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, with crystal-clear waters like a mirror. In 2026, it is open year-round from 8:00 to 19:00, with boat tours operating normally.
Kanas Lake (D5):Known as ‘God’s private reserve,’ the lake changes between blue and green with the seasons and light. Includes a boat tour, and you can climb the Fish Viewing Platform for a panoramic view.
Hemu Village (D4):A primitive village inhabited by the Tuva people, with wooden houses scattered among birch forests, shrouded in morning mist like a fairy tale world.
Sayram Lake (D7):Known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ a lakeside tour allows you to experience the azure waters and the grandeur of the Guozigou Bridge up close.

Kashgar Old City and High Platform Dwellings (D12):A millennia-old Silk Road hub with winding alleys, mottled earthen walls, and solemn architecture, exuding a rich Western Region atmosphere.
