🚂 What is it like to travel through Xinjiang by train?
In the summer of 2026, if you long for a deep travel experience with a relaxed pace, vast scenery, and no need to frequently move luggage, the ‘An Yi Hao’ Panda Train 16-day tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang might be the answer you’re looking for. This train is not a traditional means of transportation, but a mobile ‘home’—immerse yourself in scenic spots during the day, and sleep soundly in the smoothly moving carriage at night, truly achieving a relaxed rhythm of ‘travel by day, sleep by night, one bed all the way.’ Especially suitable for family trips, middle-aged and elderly groups, or first-time visitors to Xinjiang.
🌄 Introduction to Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘An Yi Hao’ train spans both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, connecting the lakes and grasslands of Northern Xinjiang with the oasis ancient cities of Southern Xinjiang, covering a variety of landscapes: from the snow-capped peaks reflected in Tianchi Lake to the clear waters and forests of Kanas Lake; from the rolling green carpets of Nalati Grassland to the ‘last tear of the Atlantic’ at Sayram Lake; then deep into Southern Xinjiang, visiting the thousand-year-old alleys of Kashgar Old City, the traditional courtyards of Gaotai Folk Houses, and overlooking the White Sand Lake and Stone City ruins on the Pamir Plateau.
The itinerary also specially arranges visits to various ethnic families, allowing you to enter local homes and learn about daily life and cultural customs (Note: All ethnic-related expressions in the text are uniformly standardized as ‘various ethnic groups’). Scenic spots along the way, such as Nalati, Kanas, and Hemu, have optimized reception facilities in 2026, with a more complete reservation system and smoother visiting experience.
It is worth mentioning that the train passes through the southern section of the Duku Highway, a landscape road known as ‘one of China’s most beautiful highways,’ connecting the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, with snow-capped mountains, canyons, and grasslands alternating along the way, reflecting the geographical diversity of Xinjiang. Of course, the specific traffic conditions will be subject to the announcements of the climate and road management departments for that year. In case of temporary changes, the travel agency will negotiate reasonable changes with tourists under the premise of ensuring safety.

Some scenic spots have high altitudes (such as Karakul Lake and Taxian County). Please engage in moderate activities and inform in advance if you have any special health conditions.

The ‘An Yi Hao’ in 2026 is not just a train, but a slow, deep dialogue with the mountains and rivers. If you are tired of rushed travel, why not try this new rhythm of ‘the car follows the person, the person plays while the car stops’—let the scenery come to you.
