🚂 Dahezhinan Tourism Train:A Comfortable Choice for Slow Travel Across Southern and Northern Xinjiang in 2026
If you long for the vast grasslands, azure lakes, and majestic canyons of Xinjiang, and hope for a relaxed, worry-free journey without frequent luggage handling or transfers, then the ‘Dahezhinan’ themed tourism train might be your ideal travel option. Designed with the concept of ‘travel by day, sleep by night, a mobile hotel,’ this train has been favored by middle-aged and elderly tourists and family groups since its launch in 2025, thanks to its age-friendly facilities, en-suite cabins, professional service team, and well-paced schedule.
🌄 Train Overview and Route Features
The ‘Dahezhinan’ is a high-quality tourism train specially designed for in-depth slow travel in Xinjiang. Its exterior features a Yellow River gold ribbon paint scheme, incorporating Central Plains cultural elements, with an overall elegant and comfortable style. The train departs from Zhengzhou and Luoyang, passes through cities like Xi’an and Lanzhou to enter Xinjiang, covering core attractions in both southern and northern Xinjiang such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Nalati, Sayram Lake, and Kanas, connecting natural and cultural highlights in a 17-day itinerary.
Unlike traditional group tours that require frequent hotel changes and luggage carrying, the ‘Dahezhinan’ operates on a ‘daytime sightseeing, nighttime travel’ model. Tourists disembark for sightseeing during the day and return to their familiar cabins to rest at night, with large luggage never needing to be moved throughout the journey, greatly reducing physical burden. It is especially suitable for retirees, tourists unaccustomed to long car rides, and family groups seeking a relaxed pace and rich experience.
