Dahe Zhinan:A mobile “five-star home” running through both southern and northern Xinjiang 🚂
🌄 [Train positioning:A “mobile palace” created specifically for in-depth travel]
Dahe Zhinan is not an ordinary tourist special train, but one of the few high-end themed trains in China with “full-train bathrooms + multi-functional services.” Its original design intent was to solve the three major pain points of traditional Xinjiang travel: “long-distance rushing, frequent hotel changes, and uneven meal quality.” With “home” as its core concept, the train integrates accommodation, dining, entertainment, medical care, and other functions into one train, so that during the 17-day itinerary tourists do not need to frequently pack luggage or adapt to different hotel environments, truly achieving “boarding is coming home, getting off is sightseeing.”
🚪 [Full analysis of compartments:From 2-person honeymoon cabins to 4-person family rooms]
The train has a total of 3 types of compartments, all equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, charging ports, and soundproof design:

Dahe Zhinan: A mobile “five-star home” running through both southern and northern Xinjiang 🚂Bathroom 2-person room: area 7.2㎡, bed size 0.7×1.95 meters, suitable for couples or married couples. 2027 reference price 39,999-45,999 yuan/person (includes special train berth, full-board meals, vehicle seat, tour guide service fee; no land bed occupancy, excludes scenic area tickets).
Bathroom 4-person room:Area 7.2㎡, bed size 0.7×1.95 meters, suitable for families or friends traveling together. 2027 reference price 15,999-21,999 yuan/person (upper and lower berth prices differ; discounts for children under 6 years old).
Bathroom 3-person room (supplementary information):Although not highlighted in the local facts, in actual operation a 4-person room can be flexibly changed for use by 3 people, giving more spacious per-person space.
All compartments use low-noise technology, with noise controlled within 40 decibels during nighttime operation (close to a library environment). Since the train was put into operation in 2025, it has accumulated more than 500,000 kilometers of travel and remains in 90% new condition in 2027.
Boarding points cover the Central Plains and the Northwest:Passengers can board in Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Xi’an, and Lanzhou, making it convenient for tourists from different regions to gather nearby. For example, tourists from Beijing can take a high-speed train to Zhengzhou, and tourists from Shanghai can fly to Xi’an and then transfer to the special train.

🌄[Train positioning: A “mobile palace” created specifically for in-depth travel]🗺 ️[17-day panoramic itinerary:6-8 hours of sightseeing per day, with sufficient rest]
Based on the simple itinerary in the local facts, the itinerary design balances depth and comfort:
Pace control: Daily sightseeing time is controlled at 6-8 hours. For example, on D4, after visiting the three major attractions in Turpan—Karez, Flaming Mountains, and Grape Valley—you board the special train that evening to Kashgar, avoiding nighttime travel; on D9, after sightseeing in Bayanbulak Grassland, you stay overnight in Nalati Town, and the next day you can easily go to Nalati Air Grassland.
Rest guarantee: The special train travels at night and sightsees during the day. For example, D2 and D16 both rest on the special train, using railway travel time to move forward and maximizing daytime sightseeing; land accommodation points are all local high-quality hotels (such as four-star standards in Turpan, Kashgar, Yining, etc., and characteristic guesthouses in Jiadengyu/Burqin).
Flexible space:In case of extreme weather or policy changes, the itinerary can be reasonably changed by mutual agreement of both parties. For example, if the Duku Highway is closed due to snow, it will be replaced by the Yizhao Highway or other equivalent attractions.
