🌄 Travel Xinjiang on a ‘mobile home’:2026 Kunlun Tourist Train Departure Schedule and Full Itinerary
In the fast-paced travel era, more and more tourists are yearning for a more relaxed and in-depth way of traveling—no need to move luggage every day, no need to repeatedly change hotels, long-distance travel left to the night, and focus on sightseeing during the day. In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist train is exactly such a product that combines comfort and landscape coverage for a full tour of northern and southern Xinjiang. Starting and ending in Urumqi, it connects the highlights of the Tianshan Mountains in 14 days, making it an ideal choice for many families and elderly tourists.
📍 Detailed introduction to the route or destination
The ‘Kunlun’ tourist train was launched by the Urumqi Railway Department in 2023, positioned as a high-end customized tourist train. The entire train has 8 sleeper carriages, adopting a ‘travel by night, stop by day’ mode, arranging cross-regional movement at night and all daytime for scenic spot visits, effectively avoiding the fatigue of frequent bus transfers and early departures and late returns common in regular group tours.
The route covers a wide range, including Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland in northern Xinjiang, Kashgar Old City, Taxkorgan, Baisha Lake in southern Xinjiang, as well as iconic landscapes like the Duku Highway and Tianshan Tianchi. The itinerary balances natural scenery and cultural experiences, featuring both the grandeur of snowy mountains and lakes and the lively atmosphere of ancient city streets, suitable for tourists who want to experience Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes in one trip.
The interior of the carriages emphasizes comfort and cultural integration, with soft furnishings incorporating traditional patterns and colors of various ethnic groups, creating a warm and regionally distinctive rest space. Some room types are equipped with a washbasin area, desk, sofa, and wardrobe. Although the entire train does not have shower facilities, it meets basic washing needs.
