Want to travel through the Tianshan Mountains in a relaxed way, taking in grasslands, lakes, canyons, and ancient cities? In 2026, the ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ tourist special train, with the concept of a ‘moving Eastern aesthetic space,’ will embark on a 16-day slow journey blending the elegance of Bashu (Sichuan) with the scenery of the Western Regions (Xinjiang).

🌄 In-depth Introduction to the Route and Destinations
The ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ special train route spans the hinterland of Northwest China, starting from Sichuan or Gansu, going deep into all of Xinjiang, connecting the mysterious Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, the morning mist of Hemu, the blue ice of Sayram Lake, the Nalati Sky Grassland in the middle section, the magnificent scenery of the Duku Highway, and the ancient city of Kashgar in Southern Xinjiang, the reflection of白沙湖 (Baisha Lake) and the snowy peak of Muztagh Ata, finally returning via the Flaming Mountains and Jiaohe Ruins in Turpan. The entire journey covers the core landscape belt on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, balancing natural wonders and cultural heritage.
