🚂 Slow travel through Xinjiang, starting from a “breathing” train
In the fast-paced era of travel, true luxury is not about checking off how many scenic spots, but having time to admire a cloud, sip a cup of tea, and listen to the sound of wind sweeping across the Tianshan Mountains. In 2026, the “Kunlun” tourism special train continues to take tourists slowly across northern and southern Xinjiang in the posture of a “mobile home” — no need to pack luggage every day, no need to rush between scenic spots and transfers. When you wake up, the view outside the window is already a different world.
🚆 Train positioning:More than just transportation, it is a comfortable residence during the journey
The “Kunlun” is a high-end air-conditioned tourism special train built by China Railway Urumqi Group in 2023, designed specifically for tourists who wish to explore Xinjiang in depth and at a leisurely pace. It is not an ordinary passenger train, but a closed-loop cultural tourism product integrating transportation, accommodation, dining, and guided tours. The entire train uses fixed formation, departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, sightseeing during the day, and traveling smoothly at night, greatly reducing travel fatigue. It is especially suitable for families and middle-aged and elderly groups who value pace and comfort.
