First, let me organize the relevant information about this route for your reference:
🌄 Introduction to the Route’s Core Highlights
This special train route connects more than 10 core scenic spots in southern and northern Xinjiang, covering diverse natural and cultural landscapes:
Turpan Area:The Karez Well is a unique underground irrigation project that embodies the wisdom of the working people of various ethnic groups. In summer, walking near the underground channels brings a noticeable coolness. The Flaming Mountain, with its distinctive red rock formations and high temperatures, is many people’s first impression of Xinjiang. According to 2026 travel tips, core scenic spots in Turpan now require advance reservations. It is recommended to book early morning visits to avoid peak crowds and the midday heat, enhancing the travel experience.
Pamir Plateau Area: Traveling along National Highway 314, you can see the stunning blue-and-white scenery of Baishan Mountain and Baisha Lake. When the lake is calm, it looks like a sapphire embedded in the Gobi Desert. Near Karakul Lake, you can gaze at Muztagh Ata, known as the ‘Father of Glaciers,’ whose snow-capped peaks remain year-round, creating a picturesque reflection on the lake. Note that you need to obtain a permit in advance to visit the Pamir Plateau, and due to the large temperature difference between day and night, bring enough warm clothing.
Duku Highway Area: According to news released in April 2026, the Duku Highway will fully open on May 31. This highway traversing the Tianshan Mountains is recommended to be open for about four months each year. This itinerary covers the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, allowing you to see the red cliffs of the Tianshan Grand Canyon, the vast wetlands of Bayanbulak, and the aerial grasslands of Nalati. The scenery along the way is rich and varied, making it a dream route for many self-driving tourists. Traveling by special train means you don’t have to drive yourself, so you can enjoy the scenery throughout the journey.

🚞 Chengdu Number 16-Day Xinjiang In-Depth Tour: A New Summer Vacation Choice for 2026 Northern Xinjiang Area: Sayram Lake is known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean.’ In summer, wildflowers bloom along its shores, and the azure lake contrasts beautifully with the distant snow-capped mountains. Hemu and Kanas retain their pristine mountain forest landscapes, with morning mist and evening sunsets offering different beauties. Climbing to the Harden Observation Platform gives you a panoramic view of Hemu Village’s scattered wooden houses. The three bays of Kanas (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, and Crouching Dragon Bay) have different lighting effects at different times, and the alpine lake scenery of Tianshan Tianchi allows visitors to experience various styles of Xinjiang’s beauty.
The special train also features many interactive activities, so you won’t get bored during the long journey. The included experience programs make the entire trip more engaging.
