🚂 Departure from Zhengzhou · Dahe Zhi Nan Hao Xinjiang Special Train｜17-Day Southern and Northern Xinjiang Panoramic Tour Registration Guide (Newly Updated for 2026)
Want to start from Henan and easily explore all of Xinjiang’s southern and northern regions? No need to change hotels, move luggage, or rush for buses—the ‘Dahe Zhi Nan Hao’ special tourist train is becoming a reassuring choice for more and more travelers. This mobile sightseeing train, starting from Zhengzhou, packages accommodation, transportation, dining, and entertainment into one comfortable journey, especially suitable for family trips, middle-aged and elderly groups, or travelers seeking a slow-paced, in-depth experience.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
Xinjiang is vast with scattered attractions, and regular group tours often require long daily bus rides, which can be physically draining. In contrast, the ‘Dahe Zhi Nan Hao’ adopts a ‘travel by day, ride by night’ model, smoothly covering long distances at night and focusing on core scenic spots during the day, greatly enhancing comfort.
This route covers the highlights of southern and northern Xinjiang:
Southern Xinjiang Section:Turpan’s Karez Well and Grape Valley, Kashgar Old City, Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, Stone City, Golden Grassland, and natural scenery around Tashkurgan County;
Duku Highway Section:Connecting the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon in the southern section and Bayinbuluke Grassland and Nalati Valley Grassland in the middle section, offering views of snow-capped mountains, canyons, forests, and meadows all at once;
Northern Xinjiang Section:Yining’s Six-Star Street, Horgos Port, Sayram Lake, Kanas Lake, Hemu Ancient Village, Colorful Beach Yadan Landform, and finally visiting Tianshan Tianchi and Urumqi International Grand Bazaar before returning.
From May to September 2026, it’s the golden period for Xinjiang tourism—grasslands turn green, lakes are clear, fruits ripen, and the climate is pleasant. According to public information from Xinjiang’s cultural and tourism authorities, the Duku Highway opened for traffic in early May, and seasonal scenic spots like Gongnaisi and Nalati have resumed operations, making the itinerary feasible.
The special train is built to ‘mobile hotel’ standards: all compartments feature private bathrooms (wet-dry separation), constant-temperature water supply, and noise-reduction design; available in 2-person, 3-person, and 4-person room types; multi-functional cars integrate audio-visual, board game, and karaoke functions; a dedicated dining car with a professional chef team caters to both Central Plains and Xinjiang flavors, supporting light dietary needs. The entire journey includes accompanying service staff and basic medical support for added care.
