🚂 What is it like to travel slowly through Xinjiang by train?
If you are tired of traditional group tours that involve ‘rushing between attractions, carrying luggage, and fighting for seats,’ and want to visit the snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and ancient cities of both northern and southern Xinjiang in one go, then the 2026 Tianshan Tourism Train might be the travel style you are looking for. It is not an ordinary train but a ‘moving comfortable hotel’—you get off during the day for in-depth exploration and return to your fixed berth at night for a restful sleep. No need to change hotels or drag heavy luggage throughout the trip. With a relaxed pace and attentive service, it is especially suitable for tourists who have ample time and value experience.
🌄 Train Start and End Points and Route Features

This train is a 13-day loop itinerary, connecting the natural scenery of northern Xinjiang with the cultural landscapes of southern Xinjiang: from the clear waters of Tianchi Lake to the primeval forests of Kanas; from the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu to the ‘last tear of the Atlantic’ at Sayram Lake; then through the Nalati Grassland and Duku Highway, deep into the Pamir Plateau, finally arriving at Kashgar Old City and the Flaming Mountains.
