Let’s take a look at the specific details of the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train below.
First is the journey time. According to the introduction, the highlight of this ‘Tianshan’ tourist train is that ‘the train follows the passengers, and there is no need to change berths’. That is to say, wherever the tourists go, the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train will take them there, and there will be no need to change trains halfway.
For some scenic spots that are not on the same train line, the tourist train will stop at a nearby station, and then we will take a tourist bus to get there, ensuring that no scenic spot is missed.
Secondly, there are the hardware conditions and facilities of the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train.
Although the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train is not as grand and luxurious as the ‘New Oriental Express’ tourist train, this tourist train is also not bad.

The comfort levels of the two types of carriages are different, and tourists can choose according to their own needs. In addition, there are bar carriages, dining carriages, and entertainment carriages on the train, meeting the various needs of tourists.
Finally, regarding pricing, according to the temporary pricing of the railway department, the price of the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train, which is positioned as an affordable tourist train, is indeed not high.

The general itinerary of the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train is as follows:
On the first day, tourist friends gathered in Urumqi from all over the country. Whether you are coming by train or plane, you can inform the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train in advance. When we are near Urumqi, the staff of the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train will come to pick us up.
Then we dropped everyone off at the hotel, but the meal and accommodation fees for that day were on their own.
The next day, we took the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train to the ‘Tian Chi’ scenic area in the morning. After lunch, we continued to the ‘Yema International Ancient Ecological Park’ scenic area and took the train to Beitun City in the evening.
That night, everyone could only rest on the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train, as we traveled at night and toured during the day to save time.
On the third day, after arriving in Beitun City, we headed to the ‘Koktokay National Geological Park’ scenic area and stayed at a local hotel in Burqin in the evening.
On the fourth day, we visited the scenic area of ‘Hemu Village’ from Burqin. This is a very famous star-rated scenic spot where everyone can enjoy the beauty of nature. It is also a great place for taking photos.
After the visit, proceed to Jiadengyu and stay in a hotel there.
On the fifth day, visit the “Kanas” scenic area. In the afternoon, you can visit the “Colorful Beach” scenic area. However, I personally feel that just the “Kanas” scenic area is enough to spend a whole day exploring and there is no need to visit the second scenic area.
Take the “Tianshan Express” tourist train to Jinghe at night and rest on the train that night.
On the sixth day, arrive in Jinghe County in the morning, then proceed to the “Sayram Lake” scenic area. On the way, you can enjoy the “Yili First Pass Guozigou” scenic area. After lunch, visit the “Horgos Port” scenic area and the “Lavender Garden” scenic area, and stay in a local hotel at night for rest.
On the seventh day, take the “Tianshan Express” tourist train to the “Nalati” scenic area in the morning. This is a 5A scenic area, which is enough to spend a whole day exploring.
Take the “Tianshan Express” tourist train to Turpan at night.

On the eleventh day, after arriving in Kashgar, proceed to the “Karakuli Lake” scenic area for a visit. As a high-altitude scenic area, it is indeed very good.
Of course, this is also China’s border line, so tourist friends need to apply for a border defense certificate in advance.
Return to Kashgar city at night and stay in a local hotel.
On the twelfth day, mainly visit the “Kashgar Old Town” scenic area, watch the famous opening ceremony, stroll around Kashgar afterward, and then take the “Tianshan Express” tourist train back to Urumqi.
On the thirteenth day, arrive in Urumqi, visit local scenic spots in Urumqi, and then end the tour.
However, if it is a 16-day itinerary, you will continue to Hami on the same day. After arriving in Hami at night, rest in a local hotel in Hami.
On the fourteenth day, visit several scenic spots in Hami, such as the “Hami Yadan Great Sea Road Scenic Area” and the “Red Star Army Reclamation Museum”, and rest in the hotel at night.
On the fifteenth day, after passing through the “East Tianshan Online Celebrity Light and Shadow Tunnel”, proceed to the “Yiwu Four Seasons Huyang Forest Scenic Area”, then visit the “Yiwu 40-Day Defensive War Memorial” scenic area, and return to Urumqi after the visit.
On the sixteenth day, the journey ends, and tourist friends return to their homes.
Overall, the cost-effectiveness of the “Tianshan Express” tourist train, which is the main promotion in Xinjiang, is really very good. With more than ten days of immersive travel, you can visit many famous scenic spots in Xinjiang.
