🚂 [New Slow Travel Style] Travel to Xinjiang on the ‘Panda Special Train’, a 16-day journey through the highlights of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In the fast-paced era of travel, more and more tourists are seeking a ‘slow down’ travel experience. In 2026, the ‘Anyi’ Panda Special Train offers a new option that combines comfort with scenic coverage through a deep integration of rail and attractions. This train not only connects representative destinations in Northern and Southern Xinjiang such as Tianchi Lake, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and Kashgar Old City, but also makes the journey itself part of the experience through cultural ambiance and service amenities in the carriages.
🌄 Route Highlights:See Xinjiang’s Diverse Landscapes at Once
The ‘Anyi’ route spans the natural scenery of Northern Xinjiang and the cultural landscapes of Southern Xinjiang, covering various landform types such as alpine lakes, snowy mountains and grasslands, yardang landforms, and oasis ancient cities.
Northern Xinjiang Section:From the clear waters and snowy peaks of Tianchi Lake to the forest secrets of Kanas Lake and the misty wooden houses of Hemu Village, showcasing the ecological beauty of the Altai Mountains.
Yili River Valley:Sayram Lake is known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean’, offering close-up views of the lake and mountains; Nalati Grassland turns green in early summer, ideal for experiencing grassland culture.
Southern Xinjiang Section:Kashgar Old City preserves traditional street layouts, with Gaotai dwellings recording urban changes; the White Sand Lake, Golden Grassland, and Stone City ruins on the Pamir Plateau present a unique sense of desolation in the highland desert.
Turpan Basin:The strange landforms of Flaming Mountain, the ancient water wisdom of Karez, and the pastoral charm of Grape Valley form a three-dimensional picture of Fire Land culture.
According to current (April 2026) scenic area opening policies, all the above attractions are open to tourists, with supporting services like shuttle buses and boat rides fully restored. Specific itineraries may be reasonably adjusted due to objective factors like weather and traffic, subject to mutual agreement.
