🚂 Traveling across northern and southern Xinjiang on a ‘mobile hotel’? This Panda Special Train turns the journey into a vacation!
If you’re tired of catching early flights, dragging luggage between hotels, and queuing for tickets at scenic spots… then the 2026 ‘Shifang Hao·Panda Special Train’ might be the travel style you’ve been waiting for. It’s not an ordinary train, but a themed tourist train integrating accommodation, dining, entertainment, and sightseeing. Explore beautiful Xinjiang by day, sleep soundly in a cozy cabin at night, and wake up to a different view outside the window.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights:See the Best of Xinjiang in One Trip
Starting from Chengdu, the ‘Shifang Hao’ delves deep into Xinjiang, offering a dual experience of southern Xinjiang’s culture and northern Xinjiang’s natural scenery. The journey spans the Pamir Plateau, Tianshan Mountains, and Junggar Basin, connecting iconic attractions like Kashgar Old City, Baisha Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas Lake, Colorful Beach, and Tianshan Tianchi.
Unlike the tight pace of regular group tours, the special train adopts a ‘travel by night, explore by day’ model: the train runs smoothly at night, saving travel time; during the day, the whole group disembarks for guided tours, ensuring deep and unhurried experiences. The landscape along the way shifts from oases to snow-capped mountains, grasslands to lakes, canyons to desert edges, with distinct seasons. June to September offers pleasant weather, making it the golden period for viewing the full panorama of northern and southern Xinjiang.
Notably, the train passes through areas dense with national A-level scenic spots. All attractions are accessed according to cultural and tourism department policies. The specific order and duration of visits may be adjusted by the tour leader and guide based on daily traffic, weather, and scenic area capacity to ensure a smooth itinerary.
