The ‘Chengdu No.’ tourist train’s northern and southern Xinjiang loop route perfectly suits such travel needs. Many tourists who have experienced it report a highly relaxed itinerary, without the hassle of transportation and accommodation, allowing more focus on sightseeing.
🚞 Basic Introduction and Route Features of the Chengdu No. Train
The ‘Chengdu No.’ is a third-generation upgraded Panda series tourist train, officially put into operation in 2025. The entire train has 18 carriages, including 12 passenger carriages, 2 entertainment carriages, 2 dining cars, and functional service carriages. The standard capacity is 108 people, and after changing room types, it can accommodate up to 132 people. The low passenger capacity ensures ample activity space for each guest. The train supports multi-point boarding and alighting. Passengers can choose to board from Chengdu or Lanzhou, and the return trip will correspondingly drop them off at the boarding city. Before boarding, the travel agency arranges dedicated airport/train station pickup, so you don’t have to find the station yourself, which is very friendly for out-of-town tourists.
The train mainly adopts a ‘day-travel, night-move’ mode. During the day, it stops at stations for sightseeing, and at night, it travels to the next destination. You wake up at a new scenic spot, without wasting daytime playtime on travel. The public areas on the train are fully equipped, with dedicated entertainment carriages for chess, cards, and small cultural activities. The dining car’s dishes cater to different tastes, featuring both Sichuan-style specialties and light, palatable options, meeting the dietary needs of tourists of all ages.
This northern and southern Xinjiang loop route covers core scenic spots in eastern, southern, and northern Xinjiang, connecting multiple famous attractions such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Kuqa, the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Hemu, Kanas, and Tianshan Tianchi.
