【Dahezhinan Tourist Train:A Mobile Palace for Traveling Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang】🚂✨
I. Train and Route Overview: A Poetic Journey Across the Tianshan Mountains
As Xinjiang’s first special tourist train with full-train bathroom facilities, the ‘Dahezhinan’ has quickly become a ‘Silk Road Slow Traveler’ among middle-aged and elderly tourists since its operation in 2025, thanks to its positioning as a ‘mobile five-star hotel.’ The train departs from Zhengzhou, passes through cultural cities like Luoyang, Xi’an, and Lanzhou, and finally arrives in Kashgar, Xinjiang. The 17-day journey covers 90% of the core attractions in northern and southern Xinjiang, including the Duku Highway, Kanas Lake, and Sayram Lake.
Unlike ordinary tourist trains, this route adopts a ‘day-stop, night-travel’ mode: tourists spend 6-8 hours exploring attractions in depth during the day, while nighttime travel does not take up their time, avoiding the bumps of long-distance buses and solving the pain point of repeatedly moving luggage. The newly upgraded multi-functional carriages in 2026 are equipped with 4K audio-visual systems, automatic mahjong tables, and karaoke equipment, turning the journey into a mobile living room for cultural socializing.
