🚂 Dahezhinan South-North Xinjiang Panoramic Special Train 2026 Travel Reference
For tourists planning a long-distance tour of Xinjiang, the region is vast with long distances between different attractions. Ordinary itineraries either cover only the southern or northern Xinjiang area, or require frequent packing and unpacking of luggage and changing accommodations, leading to travel fatigue. The 17-day South-North Xinjiang Panoramic Duku Edition itinerary launched by the Dahezhinan special train perfectly addresses these pain points, connecting over a dozen core attractions across southern and northern Xinjiang in one go. Luggage can be stored in a fixed compartment on the special train throughout the trip, eliminating the need for repeated packing and moving, greatly enhancing travel comfort.
Route and Destination Introduction
This itinerary covers both the cultural landscapes of southern Xinjiang and the natural scenery of northern Xinjiang, connecting popular destinations such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Kuqa, Nalati, Yining, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, and Tianshan Tianchi. It also includes tours of the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, allowing for a one-time experience of Xinjiang’s diverse scenic features.
🔹 Southern Xinjiang Tour Section
Upon arriving in Turpan, you can experience the Karez irrigation system, an ancient hydraulic engineering marvel with a thousand-year history, feel the unique dry heat of the Flaming Mountains, and visit the Grape Valley to experience local folk customs. Then head to Kashgar to explore the vibrant old town, visit the Fragrant Concubine’s Tomb, and proceed to the Pamir Plateau to see the clear waters of Karakul Lake, visit the Stone City and Golden Grassland, and tour the White Sand Lake, experiencing the vast plateau scenery and the local ethnic life. Later, arriving in Kuqa, you can take the southern section of the Duku Highway, visit the Tianshan Grand Canyon, and see the reddish-brown rock formations shaped by millions of years of wind erosion.
🔹 Northern Xinjiang Tour Section
From Kuqa, take the middle section of the Duku Highway to Bayanbulak Grassland, then head to the Nalati Valley Grassland to see vast meadows and scattered livestock, feeling the openness and comfort of the prairie. Next, go to Yining to visit Liuxing Street, then to the Khorgos Port, tour Sayram Lake to see its azure waters and summer wildflowers along the shore. Afterward, head to Beitun, visit Kanas to see the lake’s color-changing waters, tour the Three Bays, go to Hemu Village to see scattered log cabins and morning mist, and then visit the Colorful Beach to see the layered Yadan landforms. Finally, return to Urumqi to visit Tianshan Tianchi and the International Grand Bazaar.
Travel Tips:Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night. Even in summer, it’s advisable to bring a windbreaker or light down jacket, and take sun protection and moisturizing measures. Valid ID must be carried at all times for ticket purchases, park entry, and accommodation. For areas like the Pamir Plateau, a travel permit must be obtained in advance; consult customer service for the application process. For high-altitude areas, prepare anti-altitude sickness medication as needed. The Duku Highway’s accessibility is greatly affected by weather; in 2026, it is expected to be open from mid-June to early October. If temporary traffic controls occur, the itinerary may be reasonably adjusted upon mutual agreement.
