🚂 Make your home on the train, leave the scenery outside the window — A new experience on the 2026 ‘Chengdu’ Panda Special Train’s Northern and Southern Xinjiang Loop
If you long for a long-distance trip with a relaxed pace, comprehensive service, and diverse scenery, while also wanting to avoid the hassle of frequently changing hotels and moving luggage, the ‘Chengdu’ Panda Special Train might be just what you’re looking for. This 16-day, 15-night journey is not a traditional train ticket plus sightseeing check-in; it’s an all-inclusive immersive rail vacation product that bundles transportation, accommodation, dining, and tours. In 2026, the train will continue along the Golmud-Korla Railway through Xinjiang, connecting the snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, and ancient cities on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, forming a golden loop covering nature and culture.
🌄 Route Highlights:Experience Xinjiang’s Diverse Landscapes on One Train
The ‘Chengdu’ departs from Chengdu Anjing Station, heads west, passes through the edges of Gansu and Qinghai into Xinjiang, and finally loops around Northern and Southern Xinjiang before returning. The entire journey adopts a ‘travel by day, sleep by night’ model — stopping at scenic spots for in-depth exploration during the day and sleeping soundly in the smoothly moving carriage at night, saving time and reducing travel fatigue. Along the way, you can visit famous attractions like Tianshan Tianchi, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu Village, the Pamir Plateau, Kashgar Ancient City, and the Duku Highway, covering diverse geographical features such as alpine lakes, Gobi oases, and river valley grasslands. The carriages incorporate elements of Sichuan and Shu culture, such as hibiscus, ginkgo, and bamboo weaving decorations, and display intangible cultural heritage works like Shu brocade and Shu embroidery. During the journey, you can also participate in interactive activities like Sichuan opera face-changing, tea art, mahjong, and board games, creating a rich cultural atmosphere.
