🌄 How to book the annual price list for the Tianshan Special Train? A new choice for in-depth Xinjiang travel in 2026 is here!
As the spring and summer travel season of 2026 fully kicks off, more and more tourists are turning their attention to the northwest region—Xinjiang. Here, there are not only vast grasslands, azure lakes, and majestic snow-capped mountains but also the cultural imprints of the Silk Road running through east and west. For those who want to comfortably and leisurely experience the diverse landscapes of this land, the ‘Tianshan’ tourism special train is becoming a preferred choice for many families and middle-aged and elderly tourists.
Unlike traditional group tours that frequently change hotels and take long-distance buses, the Tianshan Special Train adopts a ‘travel by day, sleep by night, one berth throughout’ model. During the day, you focus on visiting key attractions, and at night, you sleep soundly on a smoothly running train, saving the hassle of moving luggage and adapting to new accommodations. This is especially suitable for travelers who value pace and experience.
