The Silk Road Dream Express is a high-end tourism special train built for long-distance travel in Xinjiang, deeply integrating rail travel with local sightseeing. It avoids the fatigue of long bus rides typical of traditional Xinjiang tours, making it especially suitable for families with children. The train offers various room types, with the parent-child room specifically designed for families, each equipped with a private bathroom. The ride is smooth and quiet, so children can return to their rooms to rest whenever they get tired. The train also features two dining cars with different styles, offering a variety of meal options to suit the tastes of children of different ages. A multi-functional carriage allows tourists to relax and socialize, and children can meet peers during the journey, making the trip not just about scenery but also about unique social fun.
The entire route connects multiple quality attractions in Xinjiang, covering various landscape types such as mountains, grasslands, lakes, and cultural sites. This allows children to intuitively experience the characteristics of different landforms and gain natural knowledge while playing.
Tianchi Lake of Tianshan Mountain is located at the foot of Bogda Peak, with clear lake water and distinct layers of surrounding snow-capped mountains, forests, and meadows. In 2026, during the peak season (April 1 to October 31), the ticket price for Tianchi Lake is 95 yuan per person, valid for two days. When visiting with kids, there’s no need to rush; you can slowly explore the surrounding natural scenery. This itinerary also includes a boat ride on Tianchi Lake, where parents can take their children to enjoy the breeze on the lake and gaze at the distant snowy mountains.
Nalati Grassland is a subalpine meadow area with dense vegetation. From June to September, wildflowers are in full bloom everywhere. In 2026, the peak season opening hours for Nalati Grassland are from 08:30 to 20:00, with tickets valid for 48 hours and allowing two entries. Children can run and play freely on the grassland, experiencing the open natural environment.
Sayram Lake, as the highest alpine cold-water lake in Xinjiang, boasts a unique pure lake blue color. In late spring and early summer, wildflowers bloom one after another along the lakeshore; in midsummer, it’s a great place to escape the heat; in autumn, the lakeside grassland turns golden, offering different scenery each season. Within the scenic area, you can take a sightseeing bus around the lake, allowing you to visit multiple viewpoints without walking too much, which is convenient for families with kids. Note that the weather at Sayram Lake is changeable with large temperature differences between morning and evening, so regardless of the season, be sure to prepare thick jackets and sunscreen for your children.
