🚂 Dahezhinan Special Train:A 17-Day Immersive Silk Road Journey Through Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In an era of fast-paced travel, a way of traveling is quietly making a comeback — making the train your home, traveling by day and sleeping by night, turning the journey itself into a scenic experience. In 2026, the “Dahezhinan” special tourist train sets off once again, departing from Zhengzhou in the heart of the Central Plains, crossing the Hexi Corridor, and venturing deep into the Tianshan Mountains, north and south. Over 17 days, it takes you leisurely through the vastness and magnificence of Xinjiang. This is not just a sightseeing trip, but a slow-travel living experience that blends comfort, culture, and nature.

The “Dahezhinan” is a special tourist train in China focused on long-distance leisure slow travel, developed by professional travel agencies in partnership with railway resources, designed specifically for middle-aged, senior, and family travelers who value quality and experience. The train adopts the classic model of “traveling by night, sightseeing by day” — during the day, you deeply explore core attractions, and at night, you sleep soundly on the smoothly running train. There is no need to frequently change hotels, pack and unpack luggage, or rush between transfers, truly achieving “the train moves with you, and the scenery changes along the way.”
The train route covers the finest areas of northern and southern Xinjiang, including Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Kanas, and Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) of the Tianshan Mountains. The itinerary has a relaxed pace with reasonable daily arrangements, leaving ample time for sightseeing, photography, and free activities, bringing travel back to its essence of relaxation and enjoyment.
