🚂 What is the “Tianshan Number” special train?
The “Tianshan Number” is a tourist special train operated by China Railway Urumqi Group Co., Ltd., with Urumqi as both its starting and ending point. It adopts a “train follows the traveler, travelers play while the train stops” model, connecting the core scenic spots across northern and southern Xinjiang.
Itinerary pace:It typically runs “depart in the evening, arrive in the morning” — rest on the train at night, visit ground attractions during the day, with no need to change berths throughout the journey.
Trip duration:About 12-13 days, covering Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) of Tianshan, Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Bayanbulak, Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, and more.
Carriage configuration:It features soft sleeper compartments of different grades such as Blue Diamond and Silver Diamond, as well as dining cars, bar cars, and multi-functional leisure cars, earning it the nickname “a moving star-rated hotel” from many travelers.

Many friends, when they first hear about the “Tianshan Number Special Train,” their first reaction is:🤔 Why is the “Tianshan Number” always said to be hard to book?
Based on publicly available information, the main reasons are as follows:
1. Limited departure schedule, not running daily
The special train does not run every day; it is concentrated from May to October each year, with a limited number of departures per month, operating on a “scheduled basis.”
2. Special product, not sold directly on 12306
The “Tianshan Number” is a packaged “train + tourism” product. Train seats are not sold separately on 12306 and must be booked through legitimate travel agencies designated by the railway authorities.
3. High demand during peak season
From June to September each year is the peak tourism season in Xinjiang, and the full north-south Xinjiang panoramic routes are very popular. Many travelers inquire and book months or even a year in advance, making seats for popular departures tight.
> Summary:It is not that “tickets cannot be bought,” but rather limited seats + special channels + peak season popularity, which means you need to plan ahead and book early.

“Is this train particularly hard to book? Where is the official website? Is there a reliable way to contact them?”🌐 “Official website URL” and legitimate channels
Regarding the “official website,” the current situation is as follows:
Information publisher
China Railway Urumqi Group Co., Ltd. publishes information about the “Tianshan Number” operating plans, product upgrades, and more through its own channels.
Commercial booking websites
Platforms such as Xinxin Travel Network and NetEase Subscription set up dedicated pages for the “Tianshan Number Tourism Special Train,” providing itinerary introductions, departure references, and booking entry points. These are commercial cooperative displays, not railway websites.
⚠ ️ Friendly reminder
There are many personal or corporate pages online using slogans like “official website ticket booking” or “”, some of which are agents. We recommend that when consulting, you verify whether they are cooperative travel agencies of the railway and confirm that they can sign electronic tourism contracts supervised by the national cultural and tourism authorities.
