🌄 Tianshan Special Train 13-Day Tour｜A Panoramic Slow Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
If you long for a deep journey with a relaxed pace, continuous scenery, and rich experiences, the ‘Tianshan’ special train might be the answer you’re looking for. This route spans Northern Xinjiang, the Ili River Valley, the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang, and the Turpan Basin in Eastern Xinjiang, connecting snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, wetlands, canyons, deserts, and cultural streets. Over 13 days, it immerses you in the seasonal textures and natural rhythms of this vast land.
📍 Route Highlights:Visit the Best of Xinjiang in One Trip
In 2026, the ‘Tianshan’ special train continues its classic loop design, covering iconic destinations such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Bayinbuluke, the Pamir Plateau, Kashgar Old City, and the Flaming Mountains. Unlike the rushed pace of regular bus tours, this route cleverly combines train sleeper berths with ground transportation, ensuring comfort while giving tourists ample time for sightseeing, photography, and rest.
Current Season (Late April to Early May): In Northern Xinjiang’s mountainous areas, lingering snow remains, Kanas Lake is just beginning to thaw, and Hemu’s birch forests show fresh green shoots. In the Ili River Valley, apricot blossoms have faded, but the grasslands are turning green, Sayram Lake’s ice is receding, and the lake water is a mirror-like blue. Southern Xinjiang is warm and dry, with dappled light in Kashgar Old City and clear skies over the Pamir Plateau, ideal for high-altitude driving and outdoor activities.
