Snow Country Train:Xinjiang winter tourism’s “mobile viewing platform”
Xinjiang’s winter ice and snow world hides countless enchanting secret places—Kanas’s rime corridor, Hemu’s fairy-tale wooden houses, Sayram Lake’s blue ice wonder… But in winter Xinjiang is vast and its attractions are scattered. How can you easily connect these beautiful sights? The newly upgraded 2026 “Snow Country Train” tourism special train was created precisely to solve this problem!
This special train features “all sleeper berths + viewing windows + themed activities,” covers the core ice and snow landscape belt of northern Xinjiang, and connects Urumqi, Altay, Burqin, Ili, and other places. There is no need to frequently change transportation during the trip: the train runs at night and sightseeing is done during the day, which saves time and avoids rushing around in the severe winter cold. The special train is also equipped with temperature-controlled carriages, charging ports, a simple dining area, and even an “ice and snow culture corner,” offering services such as trying on traditional clothing of various ethnic groups and winter hot drink experiences, making the journey full of fun.
