🚂 Basic Introduction to the Kunlun Special Train
As a distinctive travel option for a full tour of northern and southern Xinjiang, the Kunlun Tourism Special Train is a tourism train product developed by Urumqi. It uses sleeper carriages as mobile accommodation throughout the journey, eliminating the fatigue of repeatedly moving luggage and long bus rides typical of conventional northern and southern Xinjiang tours. The train starts and ends in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang and the first stop for many visitors entering the region. Urumqi has civil aviation and railway networks covering most cities in China, making it convenient for travelers to gather. The city also features attractions like the Grand Bazaar and specialty food streets, allowing visitors to experience authentic Xinjiang cuisine by setting aside half a day before departure or after return.
The route of this special train covers the core attractions of northern and southern Xinjiang, including the cultural and historical districts, canyons, and plateau lakes of southern Xinjiang, as well as the grasslands, snow-capped mountains, primeval forests, and lakes of northern Xinjiang. Travelers don’t need to plan transportation connections between different cities themselves; following the train throughout the journey allows them to visit most of the key northern and southern Xinjiang attractions they want to see in one go.
