🚂 Chengdu Special Train 16-Day Xinjiang Tour Guide
✨ Key Highlights of the Route
1. Hassle-free travel with the special train: Travel on the exclusive Chengdu special train throughout the journey. Large luggage can be stored in designated compartments on the train, so you don’t have to carry heavy bags when changing accommodations. The train also offers a variety of interactive activities, suitable for family trips, group outings, or solo travel, ensuring everyone finds a relaxing way to enjoy.
2. Covers core Xinjiang highlights: From Turpan in Eastern Xinjiang to Kashgar and Kuqa in Southern Xinjiang, and then to Yili, Altay, and Urumqi in Northern Xinjiang, this route covers popular tourist areas across both Southern and Northern Xinjiang in one trip, eliminating the need for multiple separate Xinjiang itineraries and the hassle of repeated ticket bookings and route planning.
3. Well-suited travel period: All tour dates are scheduled from June to September 2026, which is the most comfortable climate period in Xinjiang with lush vegetation and peak season for local fruits. It also coincides with the opening period of the Duku Highway, allowing you to enjoy the unique landscapes of its southern and middle sections, avoiding the disappointment of missing these views when the highway is closed.
🌄 Destination Introduction
The entire route connects various landscapes and styles across Xinjiang, with each area offering unique travel experiences:
Turpan Area: Known as the ‘Fire Land,’ it features the ancient Karez irrigation system, an underground water project that irrigates high-sugar grapes and various fruits. The Flaming Mountain scenic area has high summer temperatures, so remember to take sun protection measures. The Grape Valley and local dried fruits are worth experiencing.

🚂 Chengdu Special Train 16-Day Xinjiang Tour Guide Kashgar Area: The Kashgar Old City is a well-preserved maze-like urban district with crisscrossing streets, offering many local snacks and handicraft shops. Strolling through it gives a strong sense of local life. The Id Kah Mosque has a simple and ancient architectural style; just follow the scenic area rules when visiting. The earthen buildings of Gaotai Folk Houses are also unique and great for photos.
Pamir Plateau Area: Along the way, you’ll see the unique landscape of Baisha Mountain and Baisha Lake with milky white water and white sand mountains. Karakul Lake is backed by Muztagh Ata, and its water color changes with the light. The plateau has strong UV rays, so remember sun protection and avoid strenuous exercise to prevent altitude sickness.
Duku Highway Area: According to recent news from April 2026, the Duku Highway is expected to fully open by the end of May. Our itinerary covers the southern and middle sections, where you can see the red rock walls of Tianshan Grand Canyon, the Swan Lake at Bayanbulak, and the grassland scenery of Nalati. The landscapes along the highway are rich and photogenic. The Duku Highway recommends vehicles with 7 seats or fewer, and we have arranged compliant shuttle vehicles in advance, so you don’t need to prepare your own car for these sections.
Yili Area: The Nalati Grassland sees wildflowers in full bloom from June to July, with herds of cattle and sheep and distant snow-capped mountains creating a pleasant view. The Tianshan Flower Sea scenic area has large blooms in summer, perfect for photos. The Six-Star Street in Yining offers many handicraft shops and local snacks like handmade ice cream and baked buns, ideal for exploring and eating. Sayram Lake is known as a blue lake on the plateau, and in 2026, the scenic area offers free admission on the birthday of visitors born in the Year of the Horse; eligible visitors can prepare documents in advance with staff.
Altay Area: The Hemu scenic area often has morning mist, complementing wooden houses and distant forests for a great atmosphere. The itinerary includes a tea break and drone photography service for a personalized travel souvenir. The Kanas scenic area’s three bays (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, and Wolong Bay) each have unique features, with different lighting effects at various times. The Fish Viewing Platform offers a panoramic view of Kanas Lake.
Urumqi Area:The Tianshan Tianchi scenic area, with snow-capped mountains and a lake, is a classic spot near Urumqi, with many local food shops to explore.
