🚂 Slow Travel Through the Western Regions, Explore Northern and Southern Xinjiang on One Train – New Experience of the 2026 Tianshan Special Train
Xinjiang, a vast land spanning the heart of the Eurasian continent, offers both the tranquility of Tianshan snow peaks reflecting in clear lakes and the vast grandeur of the Pamir Plateau; the soft beauty of the Ili River Valley in full bloom and the vitality of oases on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert. In 2026, the Tianshan Special Train, with its unique rhythm of ‘departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, with in-depth daytime exploration,’ connects the lake and mountain scenery of Northern Xinjiang with the Silk Road heritage of Southern Xinjiang, becoming an ideal way for more people to explore Xinjiang. The train features fixed compartments throughout the journey, eliminating the need to repeatedly move luggage. Sleep soundly in the stable carriage at night, and arrive at the scenic area entrance in the morning – truly realizing a light luxury slow travel experience of ‘sleeping on the train while scenery passes by.’
