🚂 Kunlun tourism special train:Slow travel across northern and southern Xinjiang, a comfortable journey with a fixed berth throughout
On the vast land of Xinjiang, how to balance in-depth exploration and travel comfort? In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ tourism special train, with its operation mode of ‘departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, the train follows the travelers, and the travelers play while the train stops,’ has become an ideal choice for many tourists, especially middle-aged and elderly groups. This high-end tourism special train, launched by Urumqi in 2023, not only connects the classic scenery of the Tianshan Mountains but also makes the journey truly relaxed and comfortable through designs such as fixed berths throughout, no luggage moving, and a gentle pace.
📍 Starting point and features:Starting from Urumqi, circling the Tianshan Mountains
The Kunlun takes Urumqi as its departure and terminal station, adopting a 14-day loop itinerary covering the grasslands and lakes of northern Xinjiang and the history and culture of southern Xinjiang. Unlike the fatigue of traditional group tours with frequent hotel changes and bus rides, the Kunlun uses a ‘train + scenic spot shuttle’ mode—getting off during the day to visit core attractions and sleeping on the train at night as it moves forward, without changing berths or moving large luggage throughout the journey. It is especially suitable for tourists who cannot tolerate long car rides and prefer a steady pace, such as retirees or family groups.
