🚂 Xinjiang tourist train “Chengdu号” 2027 Midsummer-Autumn Charm Journey:A flowing scroll of the Silk Road
As the train slowly pulls out of the platform, outside the window are no longer the hurriedly passing city outlines, but continuous snow-capped mountains, boundless grasslands, and thousand-year-old oases—this is the unique charm of the “Chengdu号” tourist train. As a themed train centered on comfort and cultural experience, the “Chengdu号” links the magnificent mountains and rivers of northern Xinjiang with the cultural landscapes of southern Xinjiang into an immersive travel route. From summer to early autumn 2027, this route sets off again, covering the golden opening period of the Duku Highway and the excellent viewing period of Sayram Lake, offering travelers a relaxed-paced, content-rich in-depth roaming experience.
📍 Route and destination highlights introduction
The “Chengdu号” is not an ordinary sightseeing train, but a moving vacation space in motion. The carriages incorporate Sichuan-Shu cultural elements and feature viewing compartments, chess and card areas, tea break corners, and multi-functional activity carriages. Daily special activities such as Sichuan opera face-changing, panda-themed interactions, and lantern riddle contests make the journey itself an important part of the trip.
The itinerary spans north and south Xinjiang, starting from the Flaming Mountains and Karez wells in Turpan, crossing the White Sand Lake and Muztagh Peak of the Pamir Plateau, passing through Kashgar Old City to experience the lively street atmosphere, then following the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway to appreciate the red rock walls of the Tianshan Grand Canyon, the wetland swans of Bayanbulak, and the rolling meadows of Nalati. Then entering northern Xinjiang, circling Sayram Lake, exploring the three bays of Kanas Lake (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, Wolong Bay), climbing the Harden Platform to overlook the mountains and lakes, and finally arriving at Tianchi of the Tianshan Mountains, completing an ecological scroll journey from desert oases to alpine lakes.
It is worth noting that in 2027 the Duku Highway is expected to fully open from late May to early June (subject to announcements by the transportation department), and all tour dates on this route are scheduled from June to September, striving to fully experience the essence of this road known as “China’s most beautiful highway.” The Sayram Lake scenic area is currently open normally, with clear lake water, wildflowers everywhere in summer, and layered forests in autumn, presenting different scenery in different seasons.
