🐼 What is the Panda Special Train·Shifang Number?
The Panda Special Train·Shifang Number is a themed tourist train launched in cooperation between China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. and the Shifang Municipal People’s Government, operated by the Chengdu Passenger Transport Section. It made its maiden voyage on April 18, 2024, positioned as a ‘healthy lifestyle’ themed tourist train, and is also called a ‘silver-haired tourist train’ by many media outlets.
The train is refitted based on the 25G passenger car model, with a total of 17 carriages and a capacity of about 466 seats. Its exterior features bronze green and light gold as the main colors, inspired by the bronze standing figure of Sanxingdui, blending ancient Shu bird patterns and Shifang regional cultural elements, making it highly recognizable.
The train does not recommend high-end soft sleepers, hard sleepers, dining cars, and multi-functional entertainment cars, but is equipped with shower facilities, KTV equipment, and panda-themed decorations. The overall atmosphere is more like a ‘moving boutique hotel plus a running viewing platform’.
In recent years, the Shifang Number has successively operated multiple cross-provincial routes such as the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway, Xinjiang, and Northeast China. Its ‘transportation + tourism’ model has been listed as a demonstration project by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and in October 2025, it won the International Union of Railways’ ‘Special Jury Award for Long-Distance Tourism-Friendly Trains and Onboard Services’.
