✨ Key Highlights of the Route
The Tianshan train is a tourism train product that connects multiple natural landscapes in Xinjiang, covering over ten highly popular scenic spots. It eliminates the need for tourists to frequently change accommodations or plan intercity transportation on their own, reducing the fatigue of long-distance travel and allowing for a one-stop tour of landscapes with different features.
Tianshan Tianchi: During the peak season of 2026 (April 1 to October 31), the ticket price is 95 yuan per person, supporting a two-day pass with one ticket. Visitors can enter for free on their birthday with valid ID. Medical staff in May and teachers in September can also enjoy free admission with corresponding IDs. The lake reflects the snow-capped peaks of Bogda Mountain, surrounded by forests and meadows, offering different views from various angles.
Kanas Scenic Area: In 2026, the scenic area has issued a notice prohibiting tourists from crossing fences or warning lines to stay, take photos, or walk on ice or near water areas to avoid the risk of falling through ice or drowning. The lakes, primeval forests, and mountainous terrain present different color layers in different seasons, and hiking along the way reveals many natural landscapes.
Sayram Lake: In 2026, visitors should note the large temperature difference between day and night. Even in summer, a windbreaker or light down jacket is necessary. UV rays are strong during the day, so sunscreen is essential. The lake offers a highly regarded local specialty, high white salmon, with tender meat and various cooking methods. When playing near the lake, do not get too close to the water and stay safe.
Nalati Grassland:As a representative alpine grassland, the ticket price for 2026 is 95 yuan per person, with different shuttle bus fees for different routes. Wildflowers bloom along the route in mid-June, and the grass turns golden by the end of September, offering excellent viewing experiences in both periods. Altitudes above 3,000 meters may cause altitude sickness, so it is recommended to carry portable oxygen bottles.
In addition, the itinerary also covers Hemu, Colorful Beach, Guozigou Bridge, Pamir Plateau, Wensu Grand Canyon, Flaming Mountain, and other unique spots, allowing visitors to experience Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes including lakes, grasslands, gobi deserts, and canyons in one trip. Due to weather, road conditions, scenic area policies, and other factors, the itinerary may be reasonably adjusted with mutual agreement.
