In the year 2025, the Urumqi Railway Bureau Group Company meticulously planned and launched the “Travel Across Xinjiang by Train: Tianshan Series” of high-end and special tourist trains, totaling 13 trains. These trains aim to cater to tourists’ diverse travel needs throughout the four seasons, providing passengers with a brand-new and high-quality travel experience. To enhance the quality of the journey, the Urumqi Railway Bureau invested 3 million yuan in 2023 to deeply customize and innovatively design the “Tianshan” tourist trains, adding special bar carriages, entertainment carriages, and premium dining carriages. In addition, the trains are equipped with comfortable hard sleeper and soft sleeper carriages. Each carriage is decorated according to a unique theme, using high-quality textile materials for bedding, with luxury carpets laid in the corridors. The details showcase ingenuity and craftsmanship. The schedule for the Tianshan tourist trains in 2025 has been announced.
