🚂 In 2026, a worry-free option to explore northern and southern Xinjiang starting from Zhengzhou is here. The Dahezhinan special train saves you the hassle of transfers, connecting multiple popular natural and cultural attractions across northern and southern Xinjiang in one go. No need to plan routes, scramble for scenic spot tickets, or book intercity transport—just follow the train and easily complete the 17-day full tour of northern and southern Xinjiang.
As a large province spanning northwest China, Xinjiang boasts rich tourism resources, from cultural relics and plateau scenery in southern Xinjiang to grasslands, lakes, and canyon landscapes in northern Xinjiang. The scenery varies greatly across regions. To visit the core attractions of both northern and southern Xinjiang in one trip, independent travel requires significant effort in planning transport and accommodation, while the special train solves these pain points. Starting in May 2026, Xinjiang’s scenic spots will enter the peak season. According to the latest opening information, Kanas and Hemu have fully opened since May 1, with daily hours from 8:00 to 20:00 and shuttle buses running normally. During this period, snow and ice begin to melt, the lake water appears clear blue, grasslands are just turning green, and tourist numbers are relatively low, making it ideal for off-peak travel. Sayram Lake has also fully opened, accessible all day, with ticket and self-driving entrances open from 9:00 to 21:00. In May, wildflowers bloom by the lake, the ice on the lake completely melts, and the scenery is very pleasant. Nalati Grassland is open normally in May, from 8:30 to 20:00, with the sky grassland and river valley grassland fully accessible. In May, wildflowers on the grassland gradually reach full bloom, and the lighting at the nomadic family photo spot is excellent for photography. The Duku Highway is expected to open around mid-June 2026. After opening, vehicles with 7 seats or fewer are recommended, while large vehicles need prior registration. The Dahezinan tour schedule covers the full season from May to September, and tours starting June 17 and later will coincide with the Duku Highway’s opening, allowing a complete experience of the stunning scenery on its southern and middle sections.
Most attractions in southern Xinjiang are open year-round. Kashgar Old City is accessible 24 hours a day, with internal attractions operating from 10:00 to 20:00, so you can leisurely explore the old town’s alleys without rushing. Turpan’s Flaming Mountain, Karez Well, and Grape Valley are open all year. In May, the temperature is comfortable and not too hot, making it more suitable for visiting than the summer heat. Attractions along the Pamir Plateau, such as Karakul Lake, Stone City, and Golden Grassland, are open year-round. To visit Tashkurgan County, you need to apply for a permit in advance, either at your registered residence or at local public security departments after arriving in Xinjiang.

✅ Travel preparation tips:
Valid ID must be carried at all times. For trips involving the Pamir Plateau, Tashkurgan County, and other border areas, a permit must be prepared in advance, obtainable at your registered residence or local public security departments in Xinjiang, or with assistance from the travel agency after registration.
Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night, with lower temperatures in high-altitude areas. It is recommended to bring a light down jacket or windbreaker for warmth. The UV rays are strong, so bring sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing. The climate is dry, so bring moisturizing skincare products and plenty of drinking water.
Some scenic spot shuttle buses have fixed operating hours; plan your visit time to avoid missing the return bus. For the Duku Highway section, check real-time road conditions before departure. If temporary traffic controls occur, the itinerary will be adjusted accordingly.
Xinjiang is vast, with long drives between attractions. Prepare motion sickness medication, power banks, portable snacks, and other items to enhance travel comfort.
When visiting scenic spots, follow management regulations, protect the environment, and travel responsibly.
If you plan to travel to Xinjiang in 2026, choose a suitable tour date based on your schedule. For any questions, call the consultation number or add WeChat for more details, and plan your trip in advance.
