🚂 “A Moving Space of Eastern Aesthetics”:Jinxiu Tianfu Train: A New Way of Slow Travel Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang in 2026
In today’s fast-paced world, more and more people are longing for a “slow down” travel style—no need to frequently move luggage, no need to catch early trains, and no need to rush between hotels and attractions. The newly upgraded Jinxiu Tianfu Train in 2026 is a high-end tourist train tailored for such travelers. Co-created by China Railway Chengdu Group, it takes “Shu Brocade and Song Dynasty Charm” as its aesthetic core, blending Bashu culture with modern living concepts. It offers an immersive mobile living experience that integrates accommodation, transportation, dining, sightseeing, and socializing.
This train primarily offers a 16-day panoramic in-depth tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, following a rhythm of “traveling at night and sightseeing during the day.” Passengers sleep comfortably in private compartments and focus on exploring Xinjiang’s key attractions such as Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, and Kashgar Old City during the day. The overall itinerary is relaxed and unhurried, making it especially suitable for those who value travel quality, prefer a cultural atmosphere, and wish to accompany family or elderly relatives.
