🚂 Travel slowly through the Western Regions on the ‘Chengdu Hao’:A journey of dialogue between the flowing Bashu and border regions
Have you ever thought that travel could be without packing luggage and changing hotels every day? Do you look forward to listening to a Sichuan opera face-changing performance under the Gobi starry sky, or sipping a cup of covered-bowl tea by a snowy mountain lake? In 2026, the ‘Chengdu Hao’ Panda Special Train continues to run steadily, with a 16-day northern and southern Xinjiang loop, connecting the unique experience of Bashu culture and Western Regions scenery. This is not an ordinary train trip, but a moving lifestyle—traveling with the train, traveling by day and moving by night, comfortable and leisurely.
🌄 Route Highlights:Bashu Aesthetics × Western Regions Mountains and Rivers
The ‘Chengdu Hao’ Panda Special Train is built by China Railway Chengdu, with a glazed blue body, incorporating ‘Sun Bird’ dark patterns and panda elements, highly recognizable. The entire train has about 18 carriages, 54 guest rooms, a maximum capacity of over 100 passengers, equipped with observation lounge cars, entertainment cars, dining cars, and bathroom guest rooms. The whole train is covered with 5G network, and the observation window area is 40% larger than the old model, making it easy to capture the flowing scenery outside the window at any time.
The itinerary covers over 20 core attractions including Turpan Flaming Mountain, Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, Muztagh Ata, Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas Lake, and Tianshan Tianchi, encompassing four major landform types: snow mountains, grasslands, Gobi, and oases. Deep exploration during the day, the train moves smoothly at night, saving the hassle of travel, especially suitable for families, middle-aged and elderly, and slow travel enthusiasts who value pace and quality.
The carriages also feature public spaces like ‘Music Hall’ and ‘Flowing Cloud Pavilion’, offering coffee and light meals, karaoke and movie watching, chess and card games, and intangible cultural heritage handicraft experiences (such as Shu brocade display, bamboo weaving teaching), making the journey not just about ‘seeing’, but about ‘immersion’.
