🌄 Traveling Xinjiang by Train｜Tianshan No. 13-Day Deep Loop Tour, a Panoramic Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
If you yearn for the magnificent tapestry of snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, and ancient cities, and also desire a comfortable and worry-free trip, then the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train might be the travel mode you’re looking for. This loop journey traverses Xinjiang from east to west and north to south, featuring ‘travel by night, sightsee by day, train moves with you, no need to change berths throughout.’ It connects the hidden gems of Northern Xinjiang like Kanas, the Nalati Grassland in the Yili River Valley, with the highlights of Southern Xinjiang such as the Pamir Plateau and Kashgar Old City, allowing tourists to easily explore beautiful Xinjiang from a moving ‘home.’
📍 Route Highlights:Panoramic Coverage of Xinjiang’s Geographic and Cultural Diversity
In 2026, the ‘Tianshan’ train continues to optimize its itinerary design, deeply integrating natural and cultural experiences while ensuring comfort. The route spans the Tianshan Mountains, covering alpine lakes (like Tianchi Lake, Sayram Lake), primitive villages (Hemu), colorful Yadan landforms (Rainbow Beach), vast grasslands (Nalati, Bayanbulak), desert-edge landscapes (around the N39 area), historic districts (Kashgar Old City), and representative oasis agricultural areas (Turpan). Along the way, classic sections like the Guozigou Bridge viewpoint, the southern section of the Duku Highway, and the Pamir Plateau scenery are arranged, showcasing Xinjiang’s unique ‘three mountains surrounding two basins’ geographical pattern.
It is worth mentioning that the train is equipped with multi-functional leisure carriages, dining cars, bar cars, and KTV singing areas. Both soft and hard sleeper carriages are decorated with themed designs, and some room types include private bathrooms, creating a warm travel atmosphere. Additionally, the itinerary includes three meals a day, first admission tickets to scenic spots, ground transportation transfers, and professional guide services, truly achieving ‘no self-funded activities, worry-free travel.’
