🚂 Kunlun Train Reservation Guide:Prices and departure dates all in one place, it’s the perfect time to travel slowly through Xinjiang
If you long for the vast and magnificent scenery of Xinjiang, and hope for a relaxed travel pace and hassle-free accommodation, then the ‘Kunlun’ tourist train, which has been operating continuously since 2026, might be your ideal choice. This high-end air-conditioned tourist train, created by the Urumqi railway department in 2023, is designed with the concept of a ‘mobile viewing hotel.’ It features a full sleeper layout, allowing you to visit key attractions during the day and sleep comfortably on the train at night, truly achieving a relaxed travel style where ‘the train moves with you, and your luggage stays put.’
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The 14-day itinerary of the ‘Kunlun’ train spans both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, connecting Turpan, Kuqa, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Ili River Valley, Altay, and other most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang. From the blazing red rocks of the Flaming Mountains to the crystal-clear tranquility of Baisha Lake, from the steep and magnificent Duku Highway to the autumn scenery of Kanas Lake (lush green in summer), and then to Sayram Lake, the ‘last tear of the Atlantic Ocean,’ each stop showcases the unique charm of Xinjiang’s diverse terrain.
The areas the train passes through include deserts, oases, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cities. Tourists don’t need to frequently change hotels or endure long-distance bus rides. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly groups and families who want an in-depth experience, value comfort, and prefer a slow pace. The carriages are decorated with ethnic-style soft furnishings to create a warm atmosphere, and are equipped with desks, sofas, wardrobes, and other facilities, balancing practicality and aesthetics.
