Xinjiang has tourist trains. Not only has Xinjiang operated multiple tourist trains, but it has also launched special tourist train services tailored to different seasons and themes.?
For example, in 2024, the Xinjiang railway department successfully operated multiple tourist trains, including the ‘New Oriental Express’ tourist train, the ‘Tianshan’ tourist train, the Tarim Basin Ring tourist train, among others, serving over 50,000 tourists in total.?
Furthermore, Xinjiang also operates ice and snow tourist trains, such as the Y925 passenger special train, which departs from Urumqi directly to the Altay region, offering tourists a 4-day ice and snow journey experience.?
These special trains are usually equipped with soft sleeper compartments, on-board doctors, train stewards, etc., providing tourists with a comfortable and convenient travel environment.?
Entering 2025, Xinjiang’s tourist train services continue. For example, the ‘Silver Hair Special Train: 19-Day In-depth Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang’ project launched by Changsha Evening News is a customized itinerary specifically for middle-aged and elderly tourists. It departs from Changsha, passes through Guangdong, Hunan, and other regions, and ultimately arrives in Xinjiang for a 19-day panoramic tour.?
In addition, the New Oriental Express is also planned to depart from Urumqi on June 5, 2025, embarking on a 14-day in-depth tour of northern and southern Xinjiang.?
In summary, Xinjiang not only has tourist trains but also offers diverse and distinctive services, providing tourists with a rich variety of travel options.?
