In order to support the tourism industry in Xinjiang, the national railway department and Xinjiang railway department have launched hundreds of various types of tourist trains to satisfy tourists’ travel needs.
It can be said that “Travel Xinjiang by Train” has become a fashion and a new way of tourism.
Among the hundreds of tourist trains mainly promoted in Xinjiang, the “Travel Xinjiang by Train · Tianshan” tourist train undoubtedly attracts the most attention.
Why do we say so? Firstly, the “Tianshan” tourist train made its maiden voyage on May 1st of this year, and the May Day Golden Week can be considered the best period for tourism. Choosing to travel at this time is undoubtedly the best travel season.
Secondly, this "Tianshan" tourist train is mainly promoted as an inclusive tourist train, which means that the price of this train will not be too expensive, basically within the spending power of ordinary people. Positioned as an inclusive tourist train, the pricing will not be too high, showing great sincerity.
Let’s look at the specific details of the "Tianshan" tourist train below.
Firstly, regarding the journey, according to the introduction, the main feature of this "Tianshan" tourist train is that "the train follows the passengers, and there is absolutely 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 absolutely no need to change trains midway.
For some scenic spots that are not on the same train route, 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 inferior.
The "Tianshan" tourist train is divided into soft sleeper carriages and hard sleeper carriages. The comfort levels of the two types of carriages are different, and tourists can choose based on their own needs. Additionally, the train also has a bar carriage, dining carriage, and entertainment carriage, etc., satisfying the various needs of tourists.
Lastly, regarding pricing, according to the temporary pricing by the railway department, the price of the "Tianshan" tourist train, which is positioned as an inclusive tourist train, is indeed not high.
The "Tianshan" tourist train is divided into two types: luxury and premium. In addition, depending on the route, the number of travel days may vary by one or two days. Taking the 14-day luxury type of the "Tianshan" tourist train as an example, the price for an upper hard sleeper for the 14-day trip is only 5380 yuan. There is no middle soft sleeper, and the price is slightly more expensive.
Fee schedule:
6-person hard sleeper compartment:
Upper hard sleeper: 5680 yuan/person
Middle hard sleeper: 5980 yuan/person
Lower hard sleeper: 6280 yuan/person

The general itinerary of the "Tianshan" tourist train is as follows:
On the first day, tourists from all over the country gathered in Urumqi. Friends traveling by train or plane can inform the "Tianshan" tourist train in advance. When we are close to 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 expenses for the day were on their own.
The next day, we took the "Tianshan" tourist train to the "Tianshan Tianchi" scenic area in the morning. After lunch, we continued to the "Yema International Ancient Eco-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 for the night.
On the fourth day, we visited the scenic area of "Hemucun" from Burqin. It is a very famous starred scenic spot where everyone can enjoy the natural beauty. It is also a good place to take 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 think that 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 Special Train" to Jinghe at night and rest on the train that night.
On the sixth day, arrive in Jinghe County in the morning and 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 "Lavender Garden" scenic area, and stay in a local hotel at night.

On the eleventh day, after arriving in Kashgar, proceed to the "Karakul Lake" scenic area. As a high-altitude scenic area, it is indeed very good.
Of course, this is also the borderline of our country, so tourists need to apply for a frontier 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, then stroll around Kashgar, and then take the "Tianshan Special Train" back to Urumqi.
