“Xiaoxiang Special Train: In-Depth Tour of Xinjiang:2026 Comprehensive Guide to Kanas + Altay Panoramic Experience”
🌄 [Route Highlights:A Moving Viewing Platform Through All Four Seasons]
As the first luxury train in Xinjiang that traverses both the northern and southern regions, the “Xiaoxiang Special Train” connects the精华 (essence) attractions of the Tianshan Mountains using a dual transportation mode of “train + car”. The newly upgraded 18-day itinerary for 2026 covers 12 AAAAA-rated scenic spots, including Hami Yardang, Kanas Lake, Nalati Grassland, and the Pamir Plateau, with an average daily travel time of under 3 hours, truly achieving “the train follows the scenery, and people travel through a painting.”
The train features fully enclosed air-conditioned carriages equipped with scenic windows, charging ports, and 24-hour hot water supply. The specially designed “Starry Sky Carriage” offers a panoramic skylight that opens at night, allowing tourists to lie back and enjoy the Gobi desert’s starry sky. Each carriage is staffed with a dedicated butler providing multilingual services to overcome communication barriers during the journey.
