🚂 Slowly traverse the mountains and rivers, dream on the Silk Road — the 2026 ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train embarks on a full journey across northern and southern Xinjiang
As the 2026 spring and summer tourism season approaches, a high-end special train spanning east and west, connecting Jiangnan and the Western Regions, is becoming a focus for middle-aged and elderly travelers. Unlike traditional group tours, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train is built on the core concept of ‘travel by day, rest by night, a mobile hotel,’ blending comfort, rhythm, and deep experience. Currently, multiple departure dates are seeing hot registrations, with some room types nearly fully booked. Travelers interested are advised to confirm their itineraries as soon as possible.
🌄 Route Highlights:A cultural journey across diverse landscapes
The ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ special train departs from Shanghai, heading west through the Hexi Corridor, deep into the Tianshan Mountains, passing lakes, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, deserts, and ancient cities, covering Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes. The entire journey is paced gently, avoiding strenuous hikes or frequent transfers, making it especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly groups who value comfort and experience.
The itinerary includes the Tarim River scenery in Korla, the historical texture of Kashgar’s old city, the vast lake views of the Pamir Plateau, the seasonal changes along the Duku Highway, the pastoral songs of Nalati and Bayanbulak grasslands, the clear blue of Sayram Lake, and the forest secrets of Kanas and Hemu. Each stop allows ample time for sightseeing and rest, with priority given to accessible viewing areas, balancing both comfort and visual experience.
Additionally, the train itself is a scenic attraction. The entire train features hotel-style compartment designs, equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature fresh air systems, USB charging ports, and emergency call devices. Some carriages also have leisure spaces like chess and card areas and reading corners, making the journey less monotonous.
