✨ [Exploring Northern and Southern Xinjiang:2026 Kunlun Tourism Special Train In-Depth Experience Guide]✨
🌄 Route Highlights:A moving observation deck traversing the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
The Kunlun Tourism Special Train is a high-end themed train launched by Urumqi in 2023, specifically designed for in-depth travel in Xinjiang. The entire train has been renovated from 25G-type air-conditioned carriages, equipped with large observation windows, constant temperature air conditioning, and charging ports. During night travel, a smart dimming system maintains soft lighting in the carriages. The train’s biggest feature is its “train moves with the scenery” operation mode—it is recommended to travel from evening to early morning each day and stop at core scenic spots during the day, allowing tourists to avoid the fatigue of long-distance travel.
As verified in 2026, the train formation includes:
🚂 4 high-end soft sleeper carriages (with private bathrooms)
🚂 2 scenic hard sleeper carriages (with three-sided observation windows)
🚂 1 multi-functional entertainment carriage (equipped with karaoke and tea art area)
🚂 1 special dining carriage (providing meals)
The train features a specially designed “Mobile Museum” area showcasing Xinjiang’s intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, with daily interactive sessions led by cultural讲解员 (cultural interpreters) from various ethnic groups. In 2026, a smart guidance system has been added to provide real-time information about scenic spots along the route through electronic screens in the carriages.
