🌄 Detailed introduction to the route or destination
The ‘Dahezhinan’ is a deep cultural tourism train spanning east and west China, covering the core scenic areas of northern and southern Xinjiang. The route design balances natural wonders and cultural heritage:
The southern Xinjiang section delves into the Turpan Basin, exploring the Karez irrigation system, the fiery landscape of the Flaming Mountains, and the oasis of the Grape Valley; then crosses the Pamir Plateau, visiting Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake, with distant views of Muztagh Ata, and staying overnight in Tashkurgan to experience the plateau starry sky.
The northern Xinjiang section runs along the Duku Highway through the Tianshan Mountains, passing by Bayanbulak Grassland and Nalati Valley Grassland, then heading north to Kanas Lake and Hemu Village, experiencing the primeval forests and lake secrets of the Altai Mountains.
The itinerary also includes classic spots like Yining’s Six-Star Street, Horgos Port, Sayram Lake, Tianshan Tianchi, and Urumqi’s Grand Bazaar, connecting deserts, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, and ancient cities over 17 days.
The train itself is also a scenic attraction: the carriages incorporate elements of Yellow River culture, use soundproofing materials, anti-slip flooring, and accessible handrails, and feature a dedicated dining car (with a professional chef team) and a multi-functional carriage (supporting audio-visual, board games, meeting, and karaoke), making leisure time on the journey equally enjoyable.
