🚂 Panda Special Train ‘Chengdu Number’ 2026 Tour Group Registration and Ticket Booking Guide:Slow Travel Through Xinjiang, Immersive Experience of Northern and Southern Xinjiang Highlights
Want to see snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, ancient cities, and the Gobi Desert at a leisurely pace in one trip? In the summer of 2026, the ‘Chengdu Number’ Panda Special Train, with the concept of ‘mobile comfortable living space,’ embarks on a 16-day panoramic tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang. The entire journey adopts a ‘travel by day, sleep by night’ mode, with in-depth exploration during the day and restful sleep on the train at night, eliminating the hassle of frequent luggage handling and transfers, making it especially suitable for family trips, senior travel, and tourists seeking a relaxed pace.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The ‘Chengdu Number’ special train connects the core landscape belts of Xinjiang’s east, west, north, and south, covering diverse geographical areas such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, the Ili River Valley, and Altay. The itinerary includes the blazing red rocks of the Flaming Mountains and the ancient wisdom of the Karez irrigation system, as well as the highland mystery of白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and Muztagh Ata Peak reflecting each other; from the bustling streets of Kashgar Ancient City to the endless green waves of the Nalati Grassland; from the clear blue of Sayram Lake to the wooden houses in Hemu Village shrouded in morning mist—each stop showcases the unique features of Xinjiang in different seasons and regions.
The 2026 operating season is concentrated from June to September, when Xinjiang’s climate is pleasant, vegetation is lush, lakes are thawed, and grasslands are in bloom—the best time for outdoor tours all year round. Scenic spots along the special train route, such as the Tianshan Grand Canyon, Bayanbulak Swan Lake, and Kanas Lake, are all in their optimal viewing period.
The train itself is also a sight: the body is mainly琉璃蓝 (glazed blue), incorporating sunbird patterns and panda elements. It is equipped with en-suite rooms, panoramic windows, 5G network, smart control systems, and features dining cars, entertainment cars, and a multi-function hall. It offers a fusion of Sichuan cuisine and Xinjiang flavors, along with interactive activities like tea ceremonies, intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, and small performances, making the journey full of fun.
