Tired of self-driving, frequent hotel changes, and lugging luggage around? In 2026, try a more relaxed way to travel Xinjiang—board the ‘Dahezhinan’ tourist train, make the train your home, explore attractions by day, and sleep in a mobile space at night. Spend 17 days leisurely covering the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang. This journey not only connects the heat of the Flaming Mountains, the vastness of the Pamir Plateau, the ruggedness of the Duku Highway, and the tranquility of Kanas Lake but also integrates transportation, accommodation, dining, and guided tours, truly achieving a deep travel experience of ‘the train moves with you, you get off to play.’
📍 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Dahezhinan’ train spans from the Central Plains to the heart of Xinjiang, covering about 3,000 kilometers and encompassing the core scenic areas of southern and northern Xinjiang. The itinerary includes cultural landmarks like Turpan’s Karez Well and Kashgar’s Old City, fully traverses the Duku Highway (southern and middle sections), known as one of China’s most beautiful roads, and explores natural wonders like Baisha Lake, Sayram Lake, Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Hemu, and Colorful Beach.
Notably, the itinerary includes entering the Tashkurgan area, offering distant views of Muztagh Ata reflected in Karakul Lake’s snowy scenery, and visiting local ethnic families for friendly exchanges to experience real-life scenes. The pace is relaxed, with daily sightseeing lasting about 6-8 hours, avoiding rushed travel. Leveraging the train’s ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning’ advantage, it balances depth and comfort.
