📍 Detailed introduction to the route and destinations
The 2026 Tianshan Number tourist train is a brand tourism route created by Xinjiang Railway. This year, it has undergone a comprehensive hardware upgrade, adopting blue diamond carriage formations, equipped with dining cars, bar cars, and multi-functional cars, with more complete functional layouts. The carriages feature various soft sleeper room types, including single, double, and quadruple compartments. The multi-functional carriages also include sightseeing and leisure areas, wellness massage areas, and chess and card entertainment areas, suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends to relax during the journey without being cooped up in compartments for long periods. The special train adopts a “train + bus” integrated travel model, leveraging the advantage of “the train follows the travelers, the travelers play while the train stops,” so tourists do not need to repeatedly move luggage or change accommodations, saving considerable energy and being especially friendly to middle-aged and elderly friends with average physical stamina.
This route combines the natural scenery of northern Xinjiang with the cultural charm of southern Xinjiang. Along the way, it passes through popular Xinjiang tourist attractions such as Tianchi Lake at Tianshan Mountain, Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Pamir Plateau, and Kashgar Old City. Travelers do not need to plan routes themselves and can visit the core features of both northern and southern Xinjiang in one trip. Additionally, in 2026, many core scenic areas in Xinjiang have implemented real-name reservation systems. For example, Kanas has a maximum daily capacity of 55,000 people in summer and prohibits self-driving entry; Nalati self-driving tickets need to be booked online 7 days in advance with no on-site tickets available; Sayram Lake limits self-driving to 3,000 vehicles per day; and the northern section of Duku Highway also requires reservations, with penalties for those who do not reserve.
