🚂 [New National Train Special Route for Northern and Southern Xinjiang:14-Day In-Depth Journey, Unlocking Both Sides of Xinjiang]
🌟 Route Highlights:Travel Xinjiang by Train, Unlock a Dual Experience of ‘Toughness’ and ‘Tenderness’
When Xinjiang is mentioned, many people first think of vast grasslands, towering snow-capped mountains, or lively bazaars and sweet fruits. But to truly understand this land, why not try the ‘New National Train Special Route for Northern and Southern Xinjiang’—a 14-day journey spanning the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, taking you from the vast deserts of southern Xinjiang to the fairy-tale forests of northern Xinjiang, experiencing both the ‘toughness’ and ‘tenderness’ of Xinjiang.
🌄 [Detailed Introduction to the Route or Destination:Both Sides of Xinjiang Are Here]
How big is Xinjiang? With a land area of approximately 1.66 million square kilometers, it accounts for 1/6 of China’s total land area. Here, you won’t just encounter the temperature difference of ‘wearing a fur coat in the morning and a thin纱 (silk) at noon,’ but also the landscape diversity of ‘four seasons on one mountain and different weather every ten li.’ The design of the New National Train Special Route aims to allow you to experience as many ‘highlights’ of Xinjiang as possible within 14 days:
Southern Xinjiang:Rich History and Culture
Departing from Urumqi, the special train will take you deep into the heart of southern Xinjiang. Flaming Mountains in Turpan 🌋, with surface temperatures reaching 89°C, are the prototype of the ‘Eight Trigrams Furnace’ in Journey to the West; the Karez underground irrigation system is a ‘miracle of wisdom in the desert’; the Atlas silk in Hotan is woven into flowing rainbows using a thousand-year-old tie-dyeing technique; the earth-colored architectural complex in the Old Town of Kashgar is a living museum of the lives of various ethnic groups, where strolling through feels like stepping back into the prosperous era of the Silk Road.
Northern Xinjiang:A Blend of Nature and Romance
Crossing the Tianshan Mountains, the special train will enter the ‘fairy-tale world’ of northern Xinjiang. The aerial grasslands of Nalati Grassland are covered with wildflowers in June and golden like a carpet in September; Sayram Lake, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ has crystal-clear waters, with wildflowers and snow-capped mountains reflecting each other along the shore; the autumn scenery of Kanas is a ‘must-visit’ for photographers, with golden birch forests, azure lakes, and distant snow-capped mountains forming a natural oil painting; the wooden houses of the Tuwa people in Hemu Village, with wisps of smoke curling upwards, resemble a secluded paradise.
