🚂 The 2026 Dahezhinanhao Xinjiang tour train departs from Zhengzhou, offering a one-stop 17-day panoramic tour of Southern and Northern Xinjiang
As travel demands become increasingly diverse, more tourists from the Central Plains region are choosing tour trains to visit Xinjiang, which eliminates the fatigue of long-distance self-driving and the hassle of frequently changing accommodations and moving luggage, making the travel pace more relaxed. The Dahezhinanhao, a special tour train departing from Central Plains stations like Zhengzhou and Luoyang, connects the core scenic areas of Southern and Northern Xinjiang, covering natural landscapes and cultural historical sites, suitable for family trips, group outings with friends, solo travel, and more.
✨ Route and Destination Highlights
Xinjiang’s land area accounts for about one-sixth of China, divided into Southern and Northern Xinjiang by the Tianshan Mountains. Southern Xinjiang offers Silk Road relics, plateau lakes, and canyon landscapes, while Northern Xinjiang features grasslands, forests, river valleys, and ice peaks. Previously, Central Plains tourists wanting to visit both Southern and Northern Xinjiang in one trip often needed to plan nearly 20 days, with multiple transfers and luggage moves, requiring high physical stamina. The Dahezhinanhao tour train adopts a ‘travel by day, ride by night’ model, running smoothly at night and stopping for sightseeing during the day. Tourists only need to pack once to easily complete a panoramic tour of Southern and Northern Xinjiang.
Thoughtful hardware configuration of the tour train: All compartments are equipped with bathrooms, offering 2-person, 3-person, and 4-person room types to suit different travel groups. Noise reduction technology enhances sleep quality, and multi-functional carriages feature audio-visual systems for meetings, board games, and entertainment. The dining car has a professional chef team, serving meals that blend Central Plains flavors with Xinjiang specialties, catering to the dietary habits of tourists of all ages.
Coverage of Core Attractions:This 17-day itinerary covers representative Xinjiang attractions such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the southern section of the Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, and Tianshan Tianchi, catering to different preferences. Nature lovers can get up close to snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and canyons, while history enthusiasts can explore ancient cities and experience local folk culture.
2026 Scenic Spot Benefits Can Be Combined: According to the public preferential policies of some Xinjiang scenic spots in 2026, the Tianshan Tianchi scenic spot included in the itinerary offers a peak season (April 1 to October 31) ticket of 95 yuan/person for two-day entry. Eligible tourists can also enjoy free or half-price tickets. For example, medical staff traveling in May with a doctor’s or nurse’s certificate can get free admission to Tianshan Tianchi, teachers traveling in September with a teacher’s certificate can get free admission, and tourists can also enjoy free admission on their birthday with valid ID. Prepare relevant documents before travel to enjoy the corresponding discounts.
