🚂 2026 Dahezhinan Tourist Train Complete Travel Guide
If you want to experience the diverse landscapes of Northwest China from the Gobi Desert to grasslands, from plateaus to lakes all at once, without the hassle of frequent transfers and luggage handling, the Dahezhinan Special Tourist Train can meet your needs. The 17-day itinerary connects multiple core scenic areas in Xinjiang, allowing you to easily unlock several classic travel routes without repeatedly planning transportation and accommodation.
🌟 Core Highlights and Destination Introduction
Turpan Section:This area features the Karez irrigation system, which embodies ancient wisdom, the uniquely geological Flaming Mountains, and the Grape Valley filled with grape trellises. According to the latest 2026 Turpan scenic spot preferential policies, the Grape Valley is free of the first admission ticket all year round, and several core scenic spots like the Flaming Mountains and Karez also offer ticket reductions or half-price benefits for different groups. Before traveling, you can inform customer service of your identity information to facilitate verification of discounts. Turpan has high summer temperatures, so it is recommended to bring a sun hat, sun-protective clothing, and plenty of drinking water, and to stay hydrated during the tour.
Pamir Plateau Section:The route passes through attractions like Karakul Lake, Stone City, and Golden Grassland. Stone City and Golden Grassland are adjacent, and sunset is a great time to view them. The earthy yellow ancient city walls show rich layers under the sunset, and the golden grassland against the distant snow-capped mountains creates excellent photo opportunities. Tashkurgan County is about 3,100 meters above sea level, so it is recommended to slow down your pace and avoid strenuous activities. The temperature difference between day and night on the plateau is large, so even in summer, bring a windbreaker or light down jacket to add when the temperature drops after sunset. Note that if the clouds are thick on the day of travel, the sunset view may be affected, so you can flexibly adjust the tour order.
Duku Highway Section: This trip covers the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway. In 2026, the Duku Highway is expected to open for a trial run around May 28, officially open on June 5, and close around October 25, with a total annual operating period of about 150 days, making it a suitable time to view this scenic road. Along the Duku Highway, you can see various landforms such as Gobi deserts, snow-capped peaks, meadows and river valleys, and red-layer canyons all at once, without frequently changing accommodation, allowing you to experience the landscape differences between northern and southern Xinjiang in one go. Currently, the Duku Highway is open daily from 9:00 to 20:00, with lower speed limits in mountain sections, and the itinerary includes ample stops for sightseeing.
Yili and Northern Xinjiang Section:Nalati Valley Grassland, Sayram Lake, and Kanas are key attractions on this route. In 2026, Nalati Scenic Area is normally open from mid-April to the end of October, daily from 9:00 to 19:00, possibly extended to 20:00 during peak season. Along the valley grassland, you can see grassland stone figures, continuous poplar forests, and taste local specialties like hand-pilaf and baked buns. The forest lakes of Kanas and the village scenery of Hemu also allow visitors to experience the natural charm of northern Xinjiang.
