The Shifang Panda Special Train route spans southern, northern, and eastern Xinjiang, connecting classic destinations like Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Hemu, Tianshan Tianchi, and Turpan.

Duku Highway Section:Pass through the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon, travel along the southern section of the ‘four seasons in one day’ Duku Highway (subject to weather and traffic control), and arrive at Bayanbulak Swan Lake or Nalati Grassland.
Northern Xinjiang Section:Visit Sayram Lake, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ immerse yourself in the morning mist and wooden houses of Hemu Village, and climb high to overlook the emerald waters of Kanas Lake.
Eastern Xinjiang Finale:Explore the Yadan landform of the Colorful Beach, climb Tianshan Tianchi to see snow-capped mountains and clear waters, and finally experience the Karez irrigation system and the unique landscape of the Flaming Mountains in Turpan.
