🚂 What is it like to take a slow train tour of Xinjiang?
In 2026, the ‘Tianshan’ tour train continues its loop mode of ‘the train follows the travelers, stops when they play,’ connecting the natural wonders and cultural landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang. Unlike the hectic pace of traditional group tours, this special train integrates accommodation, transportation, dining, and guided tours into one package, making the journey more relaxed and comfortable. It is especially suitable for travelers who want to deeply experience Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes—from snowy mountains and lakes to desert oases, from grassland valleys to highland secrets—without frequently changing hotels or dragging luggage.
🌄 [Route Highlights:Covering the Essence of Northern and Southern Xinjiang Landscapes]
The ‘Tianshan’ tour train starts and ends in Urumqi, adopting a closed-loop design. It passes through Kanas, Hemu, and Colorful Beach in northern Xinjiang, crosses the Ili River Valley, Nalati Grassland, and Bayinbuluke Wetland, then heads south to the Pamir Plateau, visiting Kashgar Old City, Baisha Lake, and Karakul Lake, finally returning via Wensu Grand Canyon and Turpan. The 13-day itinerary spans six major landform types: mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, oases, and canyons, covering iconic attractions like Sayram Lake (known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic’), the southern section of the Duku Highway, Flaming Mountain, and Karez Well. Along the way, cultural experiences such as Tuvan home visits and Tajik home visits are arranged, along with multiple special ethnic meals like big plate chicken, Burqin cold-water fish feast, and Kashgar ethnic cuisine, allowing your taste buds to join the journey.
