🚂 Traveling slowly through Xinjiang on the ‘New National Train’:An immersive journey across the Tianshan Mountains
In 2026, Xinjiang’s tourism trains continue to upgrade. The ‘New National Train,’ as a signature route covering the full panorama of northern and southern Xinjiang, follows a rhythm of ‘the train moves with you, traveling by night and sightseeing by day,’ freeing tourists from the hassle of frequently changing hotels and dragging luggage, truly achieving ‘see the scenery by day, sleep well by night.’ Unlike traditional group tours, the ‘New National Train’ integrates transportation and accommodation into one comfortable special train. The itinerary covers three major regions: Eastern Xinjiang’s Turpan, Southern Xinjiang’s Hotan and Kashgar, and Northern Xinjiang’s Altay and Ili, connecting deserts, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cultural cities, offering a relaxed and efficient travel choice for tourists who prefer in-depth slow travel.
🌄 Detailed Route and Destination Overview:A panoramic experience traversing the Western Regions
The 14-day ‘New National Train’ tour spans east, west, north, and south Xinjiang, passing through multiple representative natural and cultural landmarks:
Turpan:The red rock of the Flaming Mountains, the thousand-year-old water management wisdom of the Karez system, and the low-altitude wonder of Aydingkol Lake showcase the heat and resilience of Eastern Xinjiang.
Hotan:As a key town on the southern route of the Silk Road, it not only features the historical texture of Tuancheng but also allows visits to the Atlas silk workshops to experience the charm of traditional weaving craftsmanship; the night market in Hotan is full of lively烟火气, making it a great place to experience local life.
Kashgar:Bashkur Lake and Karakul Lake reflect the snowy peaks of Muztagh Ata, creating a classic Pamir Plateau scene; the streets and alleys of Kashgar’s ancient city are crisscrossed, preserving a rich regional architectural style.
Kuqa:The Tianshan Grand Canyon (Kizilya Grand Canyon) is colorful, and the colorful doors and walls of Restan Street have become a photography hotspot, showcasing the cultural legacy of the ancient Kucha Kingdom.
Nalati and Sayram Lake:Nalati’s aerial grassland is lush and abundant, a model of Northern Xinjiang’s alpine meadows; Sayram Lake is known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean,’ with its azure waters offering beautiful scenery in all seasons.
Kanas and Hemu:Ecological pearls of the Altay region, with layers of forests in autumn and a silver-white world in winter; the wooden houses of Hemu Village with curling smoke create a fairy-tale atmosphere.
