🚂 Slow travel across the Tianshan Mountains, one train to see the best of Xinjiang – Kunlun 14-day in-depth experience guide
On the vast land of Xinjiang, how can one balance comfort, depth, and efficiency? In 2026, the “Kunlun” high-end tourism special train, with the posture of a “mobile vacation residence,” provides a leisurely solution for travelers seeking quality trips. It is not an ordinary train, but a panoramic tourism product integrating transportation, accommodation, dining, and cultural experiences, designed for travelers who want to avoid frequent transfers, reduce travel fatigue, and focus on scenery and culture.
🚄 Train positioning and features
The “Kunlun” tourism special train was created in Urumqi in 2023 and continues to optimize operations in 2026. It focuses on the slow travel concept of “traveling by night, touring by day, one berth throughout.” The 14-day loop covers the core landscapes of both northern and southern Xinjiang. During the day, you explore scenic areas in depth; at night, you sleep soundly in a familiar carriage without needing to pack luggage or change hotels daily. It is especially suitable for retirees, family trips, or tourists with low tolerance for long-distance bus rides.
