🚂 Slow Travel Across Vast Xinjiang, Sleeping on the Tracks to See Xinjiang — Panda Special Train ‘An Yi Hao’ 2026 Ticket Purchase Guide
In the fast-paced era of travel, a deep exploration special train that allows you to ‘see the scenery during the day and sleep on the train at night’ is becoming increasingly popular. In 2026, the Panda Tourism Special Train ‘An Yi Hao’, starting from Sichuan and spanning Sichuan, Gansu, and Xinjiang, continues its model of ‘mobile comfortable hotel + cultural immersion experience’, taking tourists on a slow tour of the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang.
