[Exploring the Silk Road] Kunlun-numbered Xinjiang Special Train:A 14-day mobile scenic route traversing northern and southern Xinjiang✨
🌄 Route Highlights:How to Explore Xinjiang with a Mobile ‘Five-Star Hotel’?
While traditional train travel still debates between hard seats and sleeper berths, the ‘Kunlun-numbered’ tourist special train launched in Urumqi in 2023 has redefined high-end travel—this ‘mobile castle’ loaded with Xinjiang folk elements connects the精华 (essence) landscapes of northern and southern Tianshan over 14 days, allowing tourists to traverse from the southern Xinjiang desert to the northern Xinjiang forests in soft sleeper compartments.
All 8 sleeper carriages feature Xinjiang-style soft furnishings: in the soft sleeper compartments, Atlas silk curtains complement handmade wool carpets; high-end compartments are equipped with washrooms, with poplar wood carved mirror frames and copper washbasins showcasing Silk Road charm. More thoughtfully, each carriage has dedicated attendants providing 24-hour hot water, luggage storage, and other butler services, ensuring elegance even on long journeys.
