🚂 Slowly travel across the Tianshan Mountains, embark on the ‘Kunlun’ for a 14-day panoramic journey
In the fast-paced era of travel, more and more people yearn for a relaxed way of traveling where ‘the train moves with you, and luggage stays put.’ In 2026, the high-end tourism special train created by Urumqi—the Kunlun—is becoming an ideal choice for senior groups and family tourists to deeply explore Xinjiang, with its hotel-style carriages, age-friendly services, and loop route design that avoids backtracking. It not only connects the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of southern and northern Xinjiang but also brings the journey back to comfort and enjoyment with advantages like full sleeper berths, no need to frequently move luggage, and a relaxed pace.
🚆 Train Route and Route Features
The Kunlun tourism special train starts and ends in Urumqi, adopting a ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning + travel by day, sleep by night’ model, arranging long-distance travel at night and focusing on sightseeing during the day to avoid fatigue. The entire route is a 14-day panoramic loop of southern and northern Xinjiang, covering core attractions like the Flaming Mountains, Tianshan Grand Canyon, Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and Kanas. The itinerary is reasonably designed with no backtracking, allowing you to experience diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, ancient cities, and wetlands in one trip.
Compared to the hassle of changing hotels and packing luggage daily on regular bus tours, the Kunlun implements ‘one berth throughout,’ allowing large luggage to stay in a fixed compartment. You only need to carry personal items when getting off, greatly reducing physical burden, making it especially suitable for retired elders, those who can’t sit in cars for long, and tourists seeking a relaxed pace.
