📸 Route highlights analysis:Latest 2026 landscapes and cultural experiences
Seasonal limited landscapes:
Traveling in May-June, you can encounter the wildflower sea of Ili’s Nalati Grassland (current flowering forecast shows that the 2026 purple perilla flower sea full-bloom period is May 20-June 10). The ice layer on Kanas Lake just begins to melt, presenting the “blue ice wonder,” and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau reflects Muztagh Ata Peak in the morning mist, forming a “ink-wash Karakoram” picture.
Upgraded cultural interaction:
In 2026, a new in-depth experience of “home visits to people of all ethnic groups” has been added. Tourists can participate in making naan, learn to play the eagle flute, and taste traditional naan made from Pamir Plateau wheat. In Kashgar Old City, intangible cultural heritage inheritors of various ethnic groups lead the making of earthenware (current opening hours of the old city earthenware workshops are 10:00-19:00, requiring reservation 1 day in advance).
Transportation optimization:
The special train adopts a “depart at dusk, arrive at dawn” model. For example, it departs from Hami on the evening of D4 and arrives in Urumqi early morning on D5, saving 12 hours of winding mountain road travel. The land segment is equipped with 7-seat business vehicle transfers, and within the Kanas scenic area, visitors transfer to eco-friendly buses (the 2026 scenic area visitor limit policy is 3,000 people per day, requiring reservation 3 days in advance through the “Kanas Scenic Area” official account).

👩💼 Route designer says
Wang Fei, Manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency:
“As a native Xinjiang person, I paid special attention to the concept of ‘slow travel’ when designing this route. For example, the Kanas segment arranges 2 nights of accommodation so tourists have enough time to photograph the morning mist of the Three Bays; in Kashgar Old City, we have reached cooperation with local residents so tourists can enter real homes to experience making naan and embroidering flower hats, rather than taking a quick ‘performance-style’ visit. In 2026 we upgraded the special train catering and added a Cantonese chef team so southern tourists can also taste the flavors of home.”
