🚂 New Trend of Slow Travel:Shifang Panda Train Launches a 16-Day In-Depth Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In recent years, with the rise of the ‘slow travel’ concept, more and more tourists are choosing to explore distant places in a comfortable and relaxed manner. In 2026, the Shifang Panda Train, which combines panda culture with railway tourism, continues to operate, focusing on an immersive experience of ‘traveling by day, sleeping by night, and staying in one berth throughout,’ especially suitable for travelers who want to avoid the hustle and value travel quality. This train is not just a transportation journey but a moving feast of culture and nature.
🌄 Destination Highlights:Comprehensive Coverage of Northern and Southern Xinjiang’s Essence
The route of the Shifang Panda Train spans across northern and southern Xinjiang, connecting the most representative natural and cultural landscapes on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains. From the白沙湖 (Baisha Lake) and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, to the historic streets of Kashgar, an ancient city in southern Xinjiang; from the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway, to the vast green meadows of the Nalati Grassland; and then to the autumn secrets of Kanas in northern Xinjiang and the blue waters of Sayram Lake—the entire journey covers diverse landscapes and cultural scenes including mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, and ancient cities.
The train adopts a ‘train follows people’ model, where tourists get off for in-depth tours during the day and sleep peacefully on the smoothly running train at night, without having to repeatedly move luggage, greatly reducing travel burden. The carriages are also equipped with a medical room, tea bar, KTV, mahjong area, and other facilities, balancing health care and leisure entertainment, making long-distance travel less monotonous.
