🚂 “Kunlun” Tour Train:A comfortable choice for slow travel across northern and southern Xinjiang with a single berth throughout
Want to see all the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang at once without frequently changing hotels, moving luggage, or rushing on long bus rides? In 2026, the “Kunlun” Tour Train continues its ‘mobile home’ model, taking you on a comfortable slow journey across the Tianshan Mountains. This high-end air-conditioned tour train, launched by the Urumqi Railway Department in 2023, features sleeper berths throughout, focusing on a deep experience of ‘traveling by night, sightseeing by day, with a single berth throughout.’ It is especially suitable for tourists who prefer a relaxed pace and less travel fatigue.
🌄 Route and Destination Introduction
The “Kunlun” connects Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes, covering southern Xinjiang’s Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau, and the border scenery of Taxkorgan, as well as northern Xinjiang’s classic areas like Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, and Kanas Lake. The itinerary includes multiple key stops such as Turpan, Kuqa, Kashgar, Yining, and Altay, spanning the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, truly achieving ‘one trip to see all of Xinjiang.’
The train itself is also a scenic attraction. The interior soft furnishings incorporate elements like Atlas silk patterns and ethnic embroidery, creating a rich Xinjiang cultural atmosphere. The entire train is equipped with constant temperature air conditioning and a humidification system to adapt to Xinjiang’s large temperature differences between day and night. As a mature product that has been operating stably for three years (as of 2026), its service processes, facility maintenance, and reception standards have been optimized multiple times, offering an increasingly refined experience.
