This train is not an ordinary one, but a one-stop packaged deep travel product, integrating transportation, accommodation, dining, tickets, and guide services. Explore key attractions during the day and sleep soundly in a stable carriage at night, truly achieving ‘the train moves with you, you play while the train stops’.
🌄 Route Highlights:See Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes at once
The Tianshan train starts and ends in Urumqi, using a loop design. Over 13 days, it connects key attractions like Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, and Colorful Beach in Northern Xinjiang; Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland in Yili; Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, and Karakul Lake in Southern Xinjiang; and Flaming Mountain and Karez Well in Eastern Xinjiang. From alpine ice lakes to Gobi oases, from vast grasslands to historic neighborhoods, the itinerary covers both natural and cultural dimensions, showcasing Xinjiang’s rich and multifaceted scenery.
Unlike other fast-paced group tours, the Tianshan train emphasizes a ‘slow travel’ concept: daily sightseeing time is arranged loosely to avoid rushing; ground transfers use air-conditioned tourist buses, and passengers do not need to change vehicles or handle luggage throughout the trip, making it especially suitable for retirees, family trips, or travelers with low tolerance for long-distance bus rides.
