This high-end tourist train departing from Urumqi is not an ordinary green train but a ‘mobile living space’ that combines comfortable accommodation, cultural atmosphere, and efficient itineraries.

From the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan to the Danxia wonders of the Kuqa Grand Canyon; from the白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau to the Panlong Ancient Road in Taxkorgan; then through the southern section of the Duku Highway across the Bayanbulak Grassland to the Nalati Sky Grassland; followed by the Ili River Valley, visiting Sayram Lake, Lavender Manor, and Six-Star Street; finally heading north to Altay to explore the morning mist of Hemu Village and the Three Bays of Kanas… The route connects snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, ancient cities, and canyons, featuring diverse landscapes and distinct seasons.
Notably, the route adopts a ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning’ model, arranging long-distance travel at night and using all daytime for sightseeing.
