Exploring Northern and Southern Xinjiang:2026 New National Train Tour: In-Depth Experience Guide 🚂
[Route Highlights:A Moving Scenic Line Crossing the Tianshan Mountains]
As a “star product” of Xinjiang railway tourism, the New National Train Tour was fully upgraded in 2026 with the concept of a “mobile viewing platform.” It features customized soft sleeper carriages throughout the train, with each carriage equipped with scenic windows, charging ports, and a constant temperature air conditioning system. The train travels along three major trunk lines: the Lanzhou-Xinjiang High-Speed Railway, the Southern Xinjiang Railway, and the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway, connecting three major tourist hubs: Urumqi, Kashgar, and Ili. It covers 12 5A-rated scenic spots, including Turpan Flaming Mountains, Kanas Lake, and Nalati Grassland, offering a unique experience of “traveling with the scenery, touring by day and moving by night.”
The train features a specially designed “Cultural Corridor” carriage showcasing Xinjiang’s intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, with daily performances of ethnic songs and dances. The dining car offers meals prepared by a local chef team, featuring a “one city, one flavor” menu that includes Turpan raisin pilaf, Kashgar baked stuffed buns, Ili horse meat noodles, and other regional delicacies. The entire train is equipped with a medical team carrying AED defibrillators and common medications, providing peace of mind for elderly travelers.
