What are the characteristics of the "Tianshan" tourist train?
This year, the Xinjiang Railway Department plans to operate 106 tourist trains. Among them, 12 high-quality distinctive tourist trains are planned under the "Travel Xinjiang by Train · Tianshan" program.
This tourist train is equipped with three types of passenger carriages: high-class sleeper carriages, soft sleeper carriages, and hard sleeper carriages. The interior decorations of the carriages also uniquely feature Xinjiang’s folk customs. Highlighting the concept of "one carriage, one scenery", it selects landscapes from six major regions – Altay, Aksu, Ili, Turpan, Hami, and Kashgar – with each carriage having a unique theme. Through paintings, decorations, and illustrated texts, it deeply integrates Xinjiang’s natural scenery with cultural folklore, allowing tourists to feel a strong cultural atmosphere as soon as they board the train.
The Tianshan train was funded heavily by the Urumqi Railway Bureau in 2023
