🌄 Route Highlights:Crossing the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, immersing in the nature and culture of Northern Xinjiang
In 2026, the ‘An Yi Hao’ special train continues to optimize its route design, covering the most representative natural landscapes of Xinjiang—starting from Urumqi, passing through Tianshan Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, all the way to Kashgar and Taxkorgan at the foot of the Pamir Plateau, then returning to Turpan, forming a complete loop. The itinerary balances lakes, grasslands, canyons, desert edges, and oasis cities, with rich and diverse terrain.
The current season (May to September) is the optimal travel window for Northern Xinjiang: Hemu Village is shrouded in morning mist, Kanas Lake is as clear as a mirror, Nalati Grassland is covered in wildflowers, the Duku Highway is fully open, and Baisha Lake and Golden Grass Beach play with light and shadow. The stops along the special train avoid extreme heat or cold periods, ensuring good climate adaptability.
According to the latest scenic area management policies, all attractions are open normally, but specific entry times, boat schedules, and vehicle access permits may be adjusted due to weather or temporary arrangements. The itinerary has reserved reasonable buffers. In case of force majeure, the travel agency will negotiate with tourists to make reasonable changes to the order of visits or stay durations while ensuring safety.
