In the summer of 2026, the ‘Chengdu’ Panda Special Train, with a rhythm of ‘traveling at night and sightseeing during the day,’ will connect the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang. No need to frequently change hotels or repeatedly pack luggage throughout the journey; the train itself is a living space, allowing the trip to truly return to relaxation and immersion.
🌄 Route Highlights:An Immersive Slow Journey Across the East and West
The ‘Chengdu’ Panda Special Train is not an ordinary train but a specially modified tourist train that integrates accommodation, dining, entertainment, and sightseeing functions. The entire train uses shock-absorbing and noise-reducing technology for smooth and quiet travel; carriages are equipped with bathrooms, air conditioning, viewing windows, and charging ports. Some room types also feature mini-bars, humidifiers, and smart toilets, balancing comfort and privacy.
The itinerary covers over 20 classic landmarks including the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Hemu Village, Kanas Lake, and Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain. It encompasses both the historical depth of Southern Xinjiang and the ecological grandeur of Northern Xinjiang. Daily sightseeing is controlled to 6–8 hours, leaving ample time for photography, rest, and free exploration, making it especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists, family trips, and photography enthusiasts.
It is worth mentioning that the special train emphasizes cultural experiences: a Sichuan opera face-changing performance is arranged at the Turpan stop, a welcome banquet for 100 people is held in Kashgar, free aerial photography service and short video gifts are provided at the Hemu scenic area, and a VIP channel is used at Urumqi’s Tianchi Lake to reduce waiting time. The dining car serves a fusion of Sichuan and Xinjiang cuisine daily, with a rotating menu, including 14 breakfasts and 28 main meals (main meal standard approximately 60 yuan per person).
