🌄 【17-Day Panoramic Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang:A “Moving Scenic View” on the Train】
The itinerary of “Dahe zhi Nan Hao” is a romance worthy of a “geography textbook”: departing from Zhengzhou, heading west along the Longhai Railway, passing through Xi’an and Lanzhou into Xinjiang, then combining “special train + coach” to link the scorching heat of Turpan, the distinctive culture of Kashgar, the ruggedness of the Duku Highway, and the tranquility of Kanas, finally returning from Urumqi. During the 17-day journey, the special train is not just a means of transport but a “moving observation deck” — by day, enjoy the gradient of Gobi, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands through the windows; by night, fall asleep to the rhythm of the rails and wake up in a whole new world.
📌 Key Highlights:
▪️ Turpan:Explore the wisdom of the Karez irrigation system, climb the Flaming Mountains to feel the “wave of heat,” and taste freshly picked seedless white grapes in Grape Valley;
▪️ Kashgar Old City:Wander through maze-like ochre alleyways, watch children chase each other in front of century-old houses, and listen to the morning call to prayer echoing;

⭐【Dahe zhi Nan Hao: A Poetic Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang by Special Train】⭐▪️ Duku Highway:Experience four seasons in one day, from the grasslands of Bayanbulak to the spruce forests of Nalati, and then to the crimson cliffs of the Tianshan Grand Canyon;
▪️ Kanas:Take a boat ride on the lake, watch the water change color with the light, hike the Three Bays (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Sleeping Dragon Bay), and capture the “ink painting” of morning mist;
▪️ Sayram Lake:Cycle around the lake, admire the lake reflecting the snow-capped mountains, and encounter flocks of white swans playing on the water.
💡 Seasonal Advantage:
From May to September 2026 is Xinjiang’s “golden travel season,” when the climate in northern and southern Xinjiang is pleasant, grasslands are lush, fruits are ripe (Turpan grapes, Hami melons, Korla fragrant pears), and the Duku Highway is typically open from June to September, making the special train itinerary perfectly aligned with the best viewing period.
