🚂 【An Yi Hao Train · Slow Tour of Xinjiang】—— An immersive journey across the Tianshan Mountains
If you’re tired of rushed, check-in style travel and long for a relaxed, in-depth Xinjiang trip, the ‘An Yi Hao’ tourism train might be the answer you’re looking for. Unlike the tight schedules of regular group tours, this train operates on a ‘train follows the scenery, sleep in the carriage’ model, cleverly connecting the lakes and grasslands of Northern Xinjiang with the culture of Southern Xinjiang. Over a 16-day itinerary, it covers natural wonders like Kanas, Sayram Lake, and Nalati, as well as delving into the Turpan hinterland to visit the Flaming Mountains, Karez Well, and Grape Valley—three classic cultural landmarks—truly allowing you to ‘see the essence of Xinjiang in one trip’.
🌄 Route Highlights:More than just scenery, it’s about experience
In 2026, Xinjiang’s tourism infrastructure continues to improve, with upgraded scenic spot reservation systems and more efficient transportation connections. Against this backdrop, the ‘An Yi Hao’ train is specially designed as a ‘moving home’, using fixed carriage formations throughout the journey. Tourists don’t need to frequently change hotels, and luggage travels with the train, saving effort and worry. It’s especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists, families with children, and those who prefer a slow-paced trip.
The Turpan segment of the itinerary is particularly thoughtfully arranged:
Flaming Mountains:In 2026, the scenic area has fully implemented real-name reservation entry. The giant Golden Cudgel thermometer remains a popular photo spot, with the red mountain ridges shimmering in the midday heat, offering a striking visual impact.
Karez Well Folk Custom Park:As one of China’s three great ancient projects, this underground water system is still in use today. The park features interactive experience areas where you can learn about the survival wisdom of ancient ethnic groups in extreme arid environments.
Grape Valley:From mid-to-late June, early-ripening grapes begin to bear fruit. Tourists can pick and taste them (depending on the year’s climate), experiencing the vitality of this ‘oasis in the fiery land’.
Note:The opening status and experience projects of the above attractions are subject to the real-time announcements of the scenic areas in 2026. In case of weather or policy changes, the travel agency will reasonably optimize the itinerary while safeguarding tourists’ rights.
