【Kunlun Train 14-Day Tour:An Immersive Experience of the Moving Scenic Route of Northern and Southern Xinjiang】
🚂 Train Introduction:A Moving “Five-Star Hotel,” Designed for In-Depth Travel
The “Kunlun” tourism special train is a “high-end panoramic air-conditioned tourism special train” created by Urumqi in 2023, positioned as a mobile vacation space for “slow pace, in-depth travel, and light-luxury experience.” The train takes Xinjiang folk culture as its design theme, with soft furnishings incorporating elements such as Atlas silk, wood carvings, and copperware. Traditional patterns of various ethnic groups can be seen throughout the carriages, making it feel like a “moving cultural museum.”
Unlike traditional tourism special trains, the “Kunlun” emphasizes “one price covering designated items in the itinerary + comfortable travel”:Passengers do not need to frequently change transportation or carry luggage, nor do they need to worry about accommodation, meals, or tickets. The train travels at night and stops at core scenic areas during the day, allowing passengers to wake up naturally and go sightseeing directly, truly achieving “sightseeing by day, traveling by night, saving time and effort.”
