“New National Train” Xinjiang Special Train In-Depth Experience:14-Day Comprehensive Itinerary for Exploring Northern and Southern Xinjiang
🌄 Route Highlights:A moving observation deck traversing the north and south of Tianshan Mountains
The newly upgraded “New National Train” special train in 2026 connects the精华 (best) scenic spots of northern and southern Xinjiang with Urumqi as the hub. Designed specifically for in-depth travel, this train features all soft-sleeper compartments, each equipped with observation windows and charging ports. Traveling at night saves time on the journey, while daytime stops at core scenic areas allow for “scenery following the train.” The train passes through sections such as the Duku Highway and Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway, where passengers can witness seamless transitions between superb landscapes of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, Gobi deserts, and sandy deserts, earning it the title of a “moving observation corridor.”
