“Kunlun” Xinjiang Tourist Train:A moving scenic route through magnificent mountains and rivers🌄
Train Introduction:Redefining Xinjiang travel as a “mobile palace”
The “Kunlun” is a high-end tourist train launched in Urumqi in 2023, designed specifically for in-depth exploration of northern and southern Xinjiang. It breaks the traditional tourism rhythm of “sleeping on the bus and taking photos when getting off,” and with “slow travel and deep experience” at its core, transforms long-distance transportation into an immersive cultural experience scene. The entire train uses sleeper carriages, equipped with desks, sofas, wardrobes, and other facilities. The interior decoration incorporates traditional patterns and colors of various ethnic groups, making the carriages a moving “folk museum.”
As Xinjiang’s first high-end tourist train, the “Kunlun” has a clear positioning: it is both a “mobile star-rated hotel” and a “cultural experience space.” The train has no hard seats and is mainly sleeper-based throughout the journey to reduce travel fatigue; it is equipped with professional guides providing onboard commentary, and stopover times at each station are ample to avoid “cursory sightseeing.” In 2026, the train will have been in operation for 3 years, with well-maintained facilities and an experienced service team, making it a “reputation choice” among Xinjiang tourist trains.

Four-person upper/lower soft sleeper (shared bathroom):About 12㎡, with desk and wardrobe, shared bathroom. Suitable for families or friends traveling together, with high cost-effectiveness.
