🚂 Want to leisurely explore northern and southern Xinjiang in 2026 without packing and changing hotels every day? The Silk Road Dream Train special train perfectly suits this travel need. No need to plan your own route or frequently move luggage. Get off during the day to visit attractions, and board at night to rest. One trip covers core landscapes from northern Xinjiang’s grasslands and lakes to southern Xinjiang’s cultural ancient cities, suitable for family trips, group outings with friends, solo travel, and more.
📍 Detailed Route Introduction
As China’s largest provincial-level administrative region by land area, Xinjiang features diverse landscapes including snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, lakes, forests, and gobi. The scenery varies greatly across different areas. Regular independent travel or standard group tours often require multiple hotel changes and long bus rides, leading to travel fatigue. The Silk Road Dream Train’s route design avoids these pain points by using the special train as a mobile accommodation hub, connecting over 10 core tourist destinations across northern and southern Xinjiang. No need to pack luggage or change hotels daily, with a relaxed pace for in-depth experiences of each region’s unique features.
The Tianshan Tianchi scenic spot included in the route implements a ‘one ticket, two-day tour’ policy in 2026. The ticket is valid from the day of entry and the following day, allowing visitors to leisurely explore core attractions like West Xiaotianchi and Yaochi. The scenic spot also offers exclusive free admission or discounts for birthday visitors, medical staff, teachers, and cadres supporting Xinjiang. Eligible visitors can prepare relevant documents in advance to enjoy these benefits. The northern section of the Duku Highway opens mainly in summer, offering a ‘one mountain with four seasons’ landscape experience as you traverse snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, and other terrains. Nalati Grassland, a famous alpine grassland, blooms with wildflowers in summer, where you can experience local ethnic cuisine and customs. Sayram Lake, known as the ‘Highland Blue Gem,’ has multiple viewpoints around the lake, with the lake surface showing different colors at different times. In summer, the wildflowers of West Sea Grassland contrast beautifully with the blue lake water, offering a great visual experience.
The Hemu and Kanas areas in northern Xinjiang retain relatively pristine natural scenery, with wooden house clusters, mountain morning mists, and starry skies worth experiencing. The autumn foliage is especially stunning. In southern Xinjiang, Kashgar’s Old City and Gaotai Folk Houses preserve thousand-year-old Western Regions architectural styles, offering a rich cultural atmosphere as you stroll through the alleys. Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake along the Pamir Plateau feature clear waters surrounded by snow-capped mountains, creating a unique landscape. In eastern Xinjiang’s Turpan area, the Flaming Mountains, Grape Valley, and Karez Well showcase the natural characteristics of arid regions and ancient water management wisdom. The entire route covers both natural wonders and cultural historical sites, catering to different travel preferences.
