Many middle-aged and elderly friends want to fully appreciate Xinjiang’s natural scenery, but worry about the fatigue of long-distance transfers, unfamiliarity with scenic routes, and troublesome ticket booking. The Tianshan Number tourist train is a choice suited to such travel needs. The entire journey connects core scenic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang with a relaxed pace, no need to frequently move luggage, allowing everyone to enjoy the scenery along the way with ease.
📍 Introduction to core scenic spots on the route
Xinjiang has vast territory and diverse landscape types. The Tianshan Number special train route covers alpine lakes, grasslands, and forests in northern Xinjiang, as well as cultural heritage sites and plateau landscapes in southern Xinjiang, allowing travelers to see different styles of scenery in one trip. Based on the latest 2026 scenic area visiting tips, relevant precautions can be understood in advance:
Tianshan Tianchi: As a well-known alpine lake scenic area in Xinjiang, the 2026 scenic area notice shows that the Haixi to Hainan lakeside trail is currently under closed construction. During the visit, you can choose the Qianlongyuan trail to view the Yutan Silver Curtain and Feizhu Jianyu waterfall landscapes. The scenic area is at high altitude with large temperature differences between day and night. Middle-aged and elderly friends can bring a light jacket and sunscreen. During the visit, stay away from waterside and slope areas and watch your footing. Visitors over 65 years old can enjoy ticket discount policies; consult staff before departure for details.
Kanas Scenic Area: Starting July 1, 2026, the scenic area changed its entry policy. No advance reservation is needed to purchase tickets for entry, and visitors over 65 years old can enjoy free admission. During summer visits, visitors must transfer to scenic area shuttle buses, which operate on a continuous dispatch basis, departing when full. You can choose to enter in the early morning to avoid peak crowds. Scenic spots within the area such as Kanas Lake and Hemu Village have high vegetation coverage, fresh air, and gentle trails, suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends to stroll at a leisurely pace.
Sayram Lake: During the 2026 peak season (April 25 – October 15), the single ticket price is 70 yuan, and visitors over 65 years old can enter free of charge. The lakeside route within the scenic area is gentle. You can take the scenic shuttle bus to visit stop by stop, or choose the counterclockwise lakeside route, which is all in favorable light, convenient for photography and sightseeing. The lakeside is quite windy, so remember to bring a windproof jacket to avoid catching a cold.
Nalati Grassland and Bayanbulak Grassland: In summer, the grassland has lush pasture, wide views, and comfortable temperatures, suitable for strolling and sightseeing. On the Pamir Plateau, Karakul Lake, Golden Grassland, and other places offer unique scenery. In southern Xinjiang, sites such as Kashgar Old City and Wensu Grand Canyon allow visitors to experience different landforms and cultural styles. The special train itinerary is relaxed, with ample visiting time reserved at each scenic spot, no need to rush, suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends to enjoy slowly.
