🌄 [Tianshan Express Deep South Xinjiang Tour:A 13-Day Panoramic Journey Through the North and South of Tianshan Mountains] 🌄
I. Itinerary Highlights: Comprehensive Coverage of South Xinjiang’s Essence, a Double Feast of Nature and Culture
The newly upgraded “Tianshan Express” train in 2026 starts from Urumqi, connecting three core areas: Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, Ili Grassland, and the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang, offering a unique experience of “one journey across three regions”. The itinerary covers 5 iconic landscapes of Xinjiang:
🏔 ️【Tianshan Tianchi】 – A World Natural Heritage site, the “Jade Pool” at an altitude of 1,910 meters reflects Mount Bogda. In summer, wildflowers abound; in winter, blue ice wonders can be seen.
🌲【Kanas Lake】 – A national 5A scenic spot, where Tuva villages and the color-changing lake create a fairy-tale world. Hiking the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay) is a classic activity.
🌿 【Nalati Grassland】 – An aerial grassland at an altitude of 2,200 meters, where wild apricot blossoms and cedars coexist in June, and yurts of local people of various ethnic groups dot the landscape.
🏜️【Pamir Plateau】 – The gateway to the high plateau, where Mount Muztagh Ata (7,546 meters) and Karakul Lake form a reflection of the “Father of Ice Mountains.” The eagle dance of various ethnic groups is listed as intangible cultural heritage.
🍇 【Turpan Depression】 – Flaming Mountains (with surface temperatures reaching 70°C) and Karez Wells (with a 2,000-year history) showcase survival wisdom in extreme environments.
