On China’s vast territory, there is a mysterious and magnificent land that spans Xinjiang, connecting the vastness of Central Asia with the diversity of China. It is Tianshan – a place that has attracted countless travelers to explore and yearn for since ancient times. Nowadays, with the booming tourism industry, a tourist train specifically designed to pursue the beauty of Tianshan – the “Tianshan Train” has emerged. It is not only a route through scenery but also an extraordinary journey to deeply experience the culture of the Western Regions. The “Tianshan Train” was fully created by the Urumqi Railway Bureau and is jointly operated with multiple large international travel agencies in Xinjiang. This train emphasizes the concept of “the train moves with people, and stops when people play.” The route connects major tourist cities in Xinjiang such as Urumqi, Beitun, Yining, Turpan, Kuqa, Aksu, and Kashgar. A single journey lasts for 14 days, covering more than 5,000 kilometers. Starting from Urumqi, passengers will embark on a dreamlike journey throughout southern and northern Xinjiang, experiencing the geographical characteristics of Xinjiang’s “three mountains and two basins,” and enjoying the stunning scenery of multiple popular attractions such as Tianshan Heavenly Lake, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, and Kashgar Old City.
