🌏 【In-depth Route Analysis:Why Choose Dahe Zhi Nan Hao?】
Xinjiang tourism in 2026 is embracing a new trend—special train travel is becoming a popular choice for in-depth tours. As Xinjiang’s first panoramic tourism special train, Dahe Zhi Nan Hao’s unique advantages are reflected in three aspects:
1️⃣【Geographical Location Advantage】
The special train adopts a “travel by day, rest by night” model, stopping at core scenic areas during the day and traveling at night to save time. The 17-day itinerary covers 12 5A-level scenic spots across Northern and Southern Xinjiang, from the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the lakes and mountains of Kanas, from the snow-capped peaks of the Pamir Plateau to the grasslands and flower seas of Ili, with no need to change transportation throughout the journey—especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists and family trips.
2️⃣【Season-Specific Design】
The May-September 2026 departure schedule aligns perfectly with Xinjiang’s best travel season:
May:End of Ili apricot blossoms + early summer in Southern Xinjiang
🚂【Dahe Zhi Nan Hao: 17-day Panoramic Deep Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, a New Special Train Travel Experience】🌄June-July:Duku Highway fully open to traffic
August-September:Kanas autumn colors + Southern Xinjiang fruit season
Current inquiries show that the Duku Highway is expected to open on June 1, 2026 (subject to official transportation department announcements), and itinerary segments D8-D9 will be dynamically adjusted based on actual road conditions.
3️⃣【Cultural Experience Upgrade】
Special arrangements include home visits with local ethnic groups, intangible cultural heritage experiences in Kashgar Old City, and the Khorgos Port customs clearance ceremony. Verified: in 2026, the Kashgar Ancient City scenic area still requires reservations, and the travel agency will handle entry permits uniformly—tourists do not need to do this themselves.
