🚂 【Yangtze River Delta Star Tourism Special Train 17-Day Lying Down Tour of Xinjiang】—— Slow Travel Through Mountains and Rivers, Encountering the Four Seasons of the Western Regions
In an era of fast-paced travel, a way of traveling is quietly returning: no rushing, no changing trains, no moving luggage, falling asleep to the gentle rocking of the train tracks, and waking up to a different world. In 2026, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourism special train, with a leisurely 17-day pace, connects the grandeur of southern Xinjiang, the beauty of northern Xinjiang, and the poetry of Yili, making the journey itself a part of the scenery.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Moving Observation Deck Across Diverse Landscapes
This route spans eastern and western Xinjiang, from the edge of the Taklamakan Desert to the hinterland of the Tianshan Mountains, from the lakes of the Pamir Plateau to the azure waters of Sayram Lake, covering six major landscape types: desert, oasis, canyon, grassland, snow mountain, and lake. The special train is equipped with all-sleeper carriages, including a dining car, medical room, and attendant service. You get off to explore during the day and sleep on the train at night, saving you the hassle of frequently changing hotels.
It is worth mentioning that the route passes through representative areas such as the Duku Highway (expected to open in early June 2026, subject to official traffic announcements), the ecological zone along the Tarim River, and the historical and cultural district of Kashgar Old City. What you see along the way is not a ‘check-in snapshot,’ but through reasonable stops, tourists have time to experience the golden grass beach in the morning light, the colorful beach at dusk, and the pastoral life deep in the grasslands.
According to current scenic area management policies, some areas, such as attractions near the border, require valid identification documents for verification, and drone flights must comply with local air traffic control regulations. The travel agency will reasonably optimize the tour order or time based on actual conditions, ensuring safety and compliance.
