🚂 Travel slowly through Xinjiang on the ‘Kunlun No.’ train:A 14-day panoramic journey without moving luggage
If you yearn for vast grasslands, snow-capped mountains, lakes, and ancient Silk Road cities, and hope for a relaxed pace, stable accommodation, and no need to repeatedly move large luggage throughout the trip—then the 2026 continuously operating ‘Kunlun No.’ Xinjiang tourist train might be your ideal way to travel. As a high-end tourist train launched by Urumqi in 2023, the ‘Kunlun No.’ is not just a train but a ‘mobile living space’ that combines comfort, cultural richness, and convenience.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Kunlun No.’ runs through the core scenic areas of northern and southern Xinjiang, covering representative landscapes such as deserts, oases, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, and ancient cities over 14 days. From the red cliffs of the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the thousand-year-old water wisdom of the Karez Well; from the Danxia wonders of the Kuqa Grand Canyon to the White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau; and then to the aerial green carpet of the Nalati Grassland, the blue mirror of Sayram Lake, and the morning mist and smoke of Hemu Village—each stop is like turning a page of a magnificent painting.
Unlike traditional group tours that involve frequent bus transfers and dragging luggage around, the ‘Kunlun No.’ adopts a ‘sleep on the train, explore off the train’ model: deep exploration during the day, rest in familiar carriages at night, with no need to move large luggage throughout the journey, truly achieving ‘the train follows the scenery, and you rest on the train.’
