I. Detailed Introduction to the ‘Tianshan’ Special Train
The ‘Tianshan’ is a special tourist train focused on long-distance, leisurely slow travel in China, custom-operated by professional travel agencies in collaboration with railway resources.

It adopts the classic ‘travel by night, explore by day’ model, eliminating the need for frequent accommodation changes and the hassle of packing and unpacking. The train travels through Northern Xinjiang’s Kanas and Yili grasslands, crosses the Duku Highway, heads south to the Pamir Plateau, and returns to Urumqi via Turpan, fully covering Xinjiang’s geographical and landscape diversity.
The entire route has a relaxed pace, with ample time at key scenic spots each day, balancing natural scenery and cultural exploration. It is suitable for family trips, senior groups, and travelers seeking quality experiences. In 2026, the ‘Tianshan’ has further optimized service details, carriage configurations, and itinerary connections, striving to create a warm ‘home on the road’ feeling in the vast Western Regions.
