Exploring Northern and Southern Xinjiang:Embark on a 17-day panoramic journey aboard the “South of the Great River” train 🚂
🌄 Detailed introduction to the itinerary or destinations:The Grandeur and Diversity of Xinjiang
Xinjiang, a land that accounts for one-sixth of China’s territory, is renowned worldwide for its superb landscapes interwoven with snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and lakes. The differences between northern and southern Xinjiang further heighten travelers’ anticipation: Northern Xinjiang is dominated by natural landscapes such as Kanas and Sayram Lake, boasting lush green meadows in summer and vibrant autumn foliage; Southern Xinjiang, represented by the ancient city of Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau, blends the cultural charm of various ethnic groups with breathtaking plateau scenery. The section of the “South of the Great River” train that traverses the Duoku Highway links the essence of both northern and southern Tianshan—this “most beautiful highway in China” is recommended to be open for only 4 months each year, allowing travelers to journey through snow-capped mountains, canyons, and grasslands, experiencing the awe of “seeing all four seasons in one day.”
In 2026, this special train will offer a comfortable configuration with “full-train bathrooms,” complemented by multi-functional audio-visual carriages and a professional chef team, ensuring a 17-day long journey that balances quality and convenience. Whether traveling with family, friends, or solo, travelers can find suitable compartment types.
