🚂 Traveling through Xinjiang by special train, slowly unlocking the panoramic views of Southern and Northern Xinjiang — Detailed itinerary and schedule for the ‘Dahezhinan’ train departing from Zhengzhou in 2026
For many tourists from the Central Plains region, Xinjiang is vast and magnificent but feels distant and hard to reach. Self-driving is too tiring, flying is too expensive, and independent travel planning is cumbersome… Is there a way to arrive easily while still experiencing deeply? In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ special tourist train departs from Zhengzhou, connecting the highlights of Southern and Northern Xinjiang in a ‘mobile hotel’ mode, with no need for frequent transfers or luggage handling throughout the journey, especially suitable for family trips, middle-aged and elderly groups, and travelers who prefer a relaxed pace.
