🔹 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
This special train covers the cultural landscapes of Southern Xinjiang and the natural wonders of Northern Xinjiang. Each stop along the way has its unique highlights:
Turpan: As the first stop upon entering Xinjiang, it features the famous Flaming Mountain Scenic Area. In 2026, the scenic area is open from 09:30 to 20:00, extending to 21:00 in summer. Popular photo spots include the giant Golden Cudgel thermometer and red sandstone Danxia landforms. After visiting Flaming Mountain, you can explore the Karez irrigation system to appreciate ancient water diversion wisdom, then head to Grape Valley to taste fresh seedless white grapes. Local specialties worth trying include sand-nest baked eggs, yellow noodle grilled meat, and baked buns.
Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau: Kashgar’s old city retains many traditional buildings, offering a vibrant atmosphere. The surrounding Pamir Plateau scenery is impressive, with Karakul Lake reflecting Muztagh Ata Peak, and the Stone City connected to Golden Grass Beach, especially stunning at sunset. Currently, a combined ticket for Stone City and Golden Grass Beach costs 40 yuan/person, with half-price discounts for students and seniors over 60. A travel permit is required to visit Tashkurgan County. The area has high altitude, so prepare for altitude sickness prevention, and bring a thick coat and sunscreen.
Duku Highway:As a scenic road connecting Southern and Northern Xinjiang, it is expected to open around June 10-15, 2026, with stable conditions from July to September. Along the way, you’ll see snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, and canyons. This trip covers the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, unlocking core attractions like the Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon, Bayanbulak Grassland, and Nalati Valley Grassland. Nalati Valley Grassland is lush, with distant snow peaks and nearby flocks of sheep creating a picturesque scene—great for photos.
Sayram Lake:Often called ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ Sayram Lake has a 2026 ticket price of 70 yuan/person. You can book in advance via a mini-program. In summer, wildflowers bloom around the lake, and the water displays varying shades of blue. With luck, you might see swans swimming on the lake. The lakeside is windy, so even in summer, bring a thick coat.
Kanas and Hemu:Kanas and Hemu in Northern Xinjiang are dream destinations for many tourists. In summer, Kanas features lush green forests and lake water that changes color with the light. Hemu’s wooden houses are scattered, creating a misty atmosphere at dawn, and you can see a starry sky at night.
Note: Due to weather, road conditions, policies, scenic area openings, schedule changes, tickets, hotel room types, etc., both parties can negotiate reasonable itinerary changes.
