🚂 What is it like to travel slowly through Xinjiang by train?
For many travelers yearning for Xinjiang, the vast territory, scattered attractions, and complex transportation connections can often be daunting. In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan’ Xinjiang tour train, with its ‘mobile hotel + deep slow travel’ model, offers tourists a new choice—no need to frequently change accommodation or carry luggage, focus on sightseeing during the day, and sleep soundly on a smooth and comfortable train at night, truly achieving a relaxed pace of ‘the train follows the people, the people play while the train stops’.
This special tour train departing from Zhengzhou lasts 17 days, traversing three major regions: Eastern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, and Northern Xinjiang. It covers core destinations such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, the Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, and Kanas, encompassing over 90% of Xinjiang’s representative landscapes. Whether it’s the red rock layers of the Flaming Mountains, the cool shade of the Grape Valley, the nine bends and eighteen turns of Bayanbulak, or the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village, all are presented in sequence on this journey.
The carriages have undergone comprehensive comfort and age-friendly renovations: all compartments are equipped with bathrooms featuring wet-dry separation; berths use high-resilience latex mattresses; corridors have anti-slip flooring, and handrails are added in restrooms; SOS emergency call buttons are installed at bedsides and key positions. Additionally, the train is accompanied by medical staff, a dedicated dining car (offering Xinjiang-style meals with less oil and spice), a multi-functional entertainment carriage (including karaoke, board games, and audio-visual systems), and regularly organizes cultural activities such as Henan opera performances and intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, making the journey both scenic and warm.
