🚂 Xinjiang Tianshan Tourism Special Train:A mobile five-star hotel, 13-day tour of northern and southern Xinjiang
If you are planning a trip to truly ‘explore all of Xinjiang,’ consider starting with the ‘Xinjiang Tianshan Tourism Special Train.’ Launched in 2023 by China Railway Urumqi Group Co., Ltd., this special train has become one of the key routes in Xinjiang Railway’s ‘Travel Xinjiang by Train’ brand, targeting the comfortable mid-range market.
It is not a traditional ‘point-to-point’ train but a mobile hotel and observation platform. The train uses modified air-conditioned carriages with all sleeper berths, integrating hard sleepers, soft sleepers, dining cars, bar cars, and multi-functional leisure carriages. It is equipped with KTV, chess tables, massage chairs, and some compartments have private bathrooms. Bedding is changed for each guest, aiming to provide a comfortable experience during the journey.
A key feature of the ‘Tianshan’ is the ‘train moves with passengers, passengers play while train stops’ model. During the day, passengers visit core attractions in northern and southern Xinjiang such as Urumqi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, and Kashgar, and return to the train at night to rest, eliminating the need to frequently change accommodations and move luggage. This ‘special train + special car’ combination can also include self-driving scenic roads like the Duku Highway, with special cars for transfers, allowing passengers to easily experience the ‘see four seasons in one day’ road scenery.
For young people who want to study or work during the trip, such as accounting students, the all-sleeper carriages, network coverage, and quiet carriage environment also provide opportunities for studying, taking notes, or planning careers on the go.
