In this fast-paced era, a ‘slow down’ journey is especially precious. The Panda Special Train Jinhua Tianfu is a high-end tourist train designed with the concept of ‘travel by night, explore by day, deep immersion.’ It is not just a mode of transportation but a flowing cultural life experience. In 2026, this train continues to depart from Chengdu, crossing Gansu and delving deep into Xinjiang, connecting the natural wonders and cultural heritage of northern and southern Xinjiang over 16 days.

The carriage design features a ‘Shu Brocade Song Dynasty Charm’ theme, with Shu embroidery patterns, bamboo weaving decorations, and elegant Chinese-style fabrics, creating a tranquil and stylish mobile space. Limited seats across the train emphasize privacy and service quality, equipped with bathrooms, mini-fridges, and custom toiletries, balancing comfort and convenience.
The itinerary covers Xinjiang’s core scenic areas:Northern Xinjiang’s Kanas Lake and Hemu Village showcase pristine natural beauty; the Ili River Valley’s Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland represent summer’s lush greenery; southern Xinjiang’s Kashgar Ancient City and the Pamir Plateau lakes carry the memories of the ancient Silk Road; finally, the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan conclude the journey, offering insights into oasis civilization wisdom. The entire trip uses a ‘day tour, night travel’ model to reduce travel fatigue and enhance experience continuity.
