🚂 What is it like to travel slowly through Xinjiang by train?
In 2026, the ‘Tianshan’ tour train continues its model of ‘the train follows the travelers, stopping when they play,’ taking tourists deep into the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains, connecting lakes, grasslands, canyons, ancient cities, and plateau scenery. Unlike traditional group tours with frequent hotel changes and rushed itineraries, this 13-day journey turns the train into a mobile home—sightseeing during the day, sleeping in sleeper cars at night, with no need to move large luggage, truly enabling relaxed travel.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Panoramic Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
The ‘Tianshan’ train starts and ends in Urumqi, using a loop design that covers Kanas, Hemu, Colorful Beach, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland in Northern Xinjiang, crosses the stunning southern section of the Duku Highway in the middle, and then delves into Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau, Karakul Lake, and Baisha Lake in Southern Xinjiang. The itinerary balances natural wonders and cultural landscapes, featuring the clear waters of Heavenly Lake Tianshan and the fiery terrain of Flaming Mountain; you can stroll through Yining’s Six-Star Street to feel the city’s vibrancy or gaze at the Kunlun snow mountains from Taxkorgan. Throughout the journey, air-conditioned tourist buses provide transfers, reducing long-distance bumps, making it suitable for travelers seeking deep experiences with comfort.
