🚂 Slowly traverse the mountains and rivers, taking in both northern and southern Xinjiang in one train — A new perspective on the immersive ‘Dahezhinan’ special train journey in 2026
In an era of fast-paced travel, more and more tourists are rethinking ‘how to truly see the scenery.’ Instead of rushing between hotels and attractions, why not choose a more leisurely way: board a mobile vacation space, explore deeply during the day, sleep soundly at night, without moving luggage or worrying about the route — this is the travel philosophy advocated by the 2026 ‘Dahezhinan’ Xinjiang tourist train.
🌄 Departing from the banks of the Yellow River, heading towards the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
The ‘Dahezhinan’ special train, with Central Plains culture as its backdrop, starts from historical and cultural cities like Zhengzhou and Luoyang. The train heads west, passing through Xi’an and Lanzhou into Xinjiang, linking the heat of Turpan, the depth of Kashgar, the vastness of the Pamirs, the grandeur of the Duku Highway, and extending to the mysterious Kanas in northern Xinjiang and the azure of Sayram Lake. The entire route spans the culture of southern Xinjiang and the nature of northern Xinjiang, covering over 20 classic scenic spots in a 17-day itinerary, balancing a relaxed pace with rich landscapes.
Compared to other modes of transportation, the ‘Dahezhinan’ adopts a ‘people stop, train doesn’t’ model: traveling by night and concentrating on sightseeing by day, avoiding the fatigue of early morning gatherings and late-night arrivals. It is especially suitable for retirees, family trips, or travelers uncomfortable with long-distance buses — no transfers, no luggage hauling throughout the journey, truly achieving ‘boarding means settling in.’
🛌 Cabin Configuration:Private, Comfortable, Senior-Friendly
The entire train is equipped with en-suite cabins, using noise-reduction technology to keep nighttime noise below 40 decibels, ensuring deep sleep. The cabin design balances functionality and humanization, with specific room types as follows:
