🚂 Panda Special Train · Shifang:Taking Kids to Xinjiang: A New Parent-Child Option for a Slow Journey Through Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In the fast-paced travel era, more and more families are focusing on ‘slow down’ deep experiences. In 2026, the Shifang Panda Special Train, co-created by the railway system and local cultural tourism, is becoming an ideal carrier for parent-child families to explore Xinjiang with its ‘mobile star-rated living space’ concept. This train not only connects the essence of Northern and Southern Xinjiang landscapes but also significantly reduces the hassle of traveling with children through thoughtful carriage configurations and stable overnight travel mode—kids sleep soundly, parents travel leisurely.
🌄 Route Highlights:See grasslands, lakes, snow-capped mountains, and ancient cities all in one trip
The Shifang Panda Special Train focuses on a 16-day panoramic tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, departing from Chengdu or Lanzhou, passing through core destinations such as Kashgar, Taxkorgan, Kuqa, Nalati, Yining, Hemu, Kanas, Urumqi, and Turpan. The itinerary covers plateau lakes (e.g., Sayram Lake, Kanas Lake), vast grasslands (Nalati), geological wonders (Tianshan Grand Canyon, Flaming Mountain), historical relics (Kashgar Old City, Stone City), and oasis culture (Karez Well, Grape Valley), with diverse landscapes and a relaxed pace, especially suitable for families visiting Xinjiang for the first time.
The train adopts a ‘travel by night, tour by day’ mode: deep exploration of attractions during the day, comfortable sleep in cabins at night, eliminating the need to frequently move luggage or change hotels, greatly reducing the burden of parent-child travel. The carriages are equipped with a medical room, elderly-friendly and child-friendly facilities (e.g., anti-slip handrails, emergency call systems), with meticulous details.
Notably, the train’s exterior blends Sanxingdui bronze patterns with panda elements, and the interior is warm and elegant. Car 9 features a multifunctional entertainment area with a tea bar, KTV, mahjong tables, and a cigar bar—adults can relax, and kids can move around.
