🚂 2026 Kunlun latest departure dates, limited-time registration for the Northern and Southern Xinjiang loop
In the fast-paced era of travel, more and more tourists are beginning to pursue a ‘slow down’ deep experience. In 2026, the ‘Kunlun’ tourist train continues with the core concept of ‘residential slow travel,’ taking you leisurely across the Tianshan Mountains in 14 days, from the Flaming Mountains to Kanas Lake, from the Pamir Plateau to the Ili River Valley. Along the way, there is no need to frequently change hotels or repeatedly move luggage, truly realizing an immersive journey of ‘living on the train, scenery passing by the window.’
🌄 Detailed introduction to the route and destinations
The ‘Kunlun’ is a high-end air-conditioned tourist train launched by the Urumqi Railway Department in 2023, positioned as a long-distance leisure slow travel product, focusing on comfort, ease, and cultural experience. The train adopts a ‘night travel, day sightseeing’ mode, stopping at core scenic spots during the day for in-depth exploration, and sleeping peacefully in the stable carriages while traveling thousands of miles at night, greatly reducing the sense of travel fatigue.
The route spans the essence of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, covering diverse landforms and cultural landscapes such as deserts, canyons, lakes, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, and ancient cities. The itinerary connects key areas like Turpan, Kuqa, Kashgar, Taxkorgan, Nalati, Yining, and Altay, including famous attractions such as the Tianshan Grand Canyon, Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, Sayram Lake, Kanas Three Bays, Colorful Beach, and Lavender Manor, balancing natural wonders with historical culture.
The carriage configuration emphasizes comfort and privacy: the entire train has 8 sleeper carriages, offering a variety of room types, including four-person compartments (shared bathroom), two-person compartments (flat or bunk beds), and high-end double compartments with private bathroom and sofa. Some carriages are also equipped with desks, wardrobes, separate wet and dry bathrooms, smart toilets, and 24-hour hot water. The soft furnishings incorporate Xinjiang regional elements, creating a warm residential atmosphere.
Additionally, the train is equipped with professional on-board service staff, including bilingual guides, attendants, and medical support. Each carriage is installed with an oxygen enrichment system to help alleviate potential discomfort in high-altitude areas, enhancing the overall travel experience.
