In today’s fast-paced modern life, more and more travelers over 50 are seeking a more relaxed, worry-free, and immersive travel experience. In 2026, the ‘Kunlun Hao’ Xinjiang Sunset Red Tourism Special Train, with its unique model of ‘departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, train following travelers, no luggage moving, and no berth changes,’ has become a popular choice for in-depth tours of Northern and Southern Xinjiang.

It is especially suitable for retirees, travelers who find long car rides uncomfortable, and families who want to see Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes in one trip.
