🚂 [New National Train Southern Xinjiang Route:A Moving Scenic Line Traversing the North and South of the Tianshan Mountains] 🌄
On the vast land of Xinjiang, a steel giant is connecting the magnificent landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang in a unique way—the New National Train tourist special train. Designed specifically for in-depth travel, this train will take you on a 14-day journey through deserts, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and canyons, allowing you to experience the significant temperature differences of “wearing a fur coat in the morning and a thin纱 (gauze) at noon” and the diverse cultures blending among various ethnic groups. This article will unveil the secrets of this “moving scenic line” from the perspectives of route features, itinerary highlights, and cost analysis.
🌄 [Route Features:Experience the Essence of Xinjiang in One Train]
The New National Train special train features customized all soft-sleeper carriages, with each carriage recommended to have 10 four-person compartments equipped with charging ports, reading lights, and constant temperature air conditioning. The train stops at characteristic stations during the day for in-depth exploration by tourists and travels at night to save time, truly achieving an efficient “day tour, night travel” mode.
▶️ Geographical Span:From the Flaming Mountains in Turpan (elevation -154 meters) to the Guanyu Platform in Kanas (elevation 2030 meters), with a vertical drop of over 2000 meters
▶️ Cultural Depth:Passing through areas inhabited by various ethnic groups along the way, allowing visits to traditional residences and handicraft workshops
▶️ Ecological Diversity:Covering four major ecosystems: desert (Taklimakan), grassland (Nalati), wetland (Kanas Lake), and Yardang landform (Five-Colored Beach)
According to the latest 2026 railway schedule, the special train adopts a “large loop + small cycle” design to avoid repeated sections. It specially arranges passage through the world’s first desert railway loop—the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway, offering views of flowing sand dunes stretching for 825 kilometers through the train windows.
