Tired of the travel rhythm of frequently changing hotels and dragging luggage to attractions? Why not try this moving vacation space — the ‘Shifang·Panda Special Train’. As a characteristic tourist train operating continuously in 2026, it starts from Chengdu, connecting the highlights of Southern and Northern Xinjiang, featuring a relaxing mode of ‘travel by day, sleep by night, train moves with you’, especially suitable for travelers who want an in-depth experience without too much rushing. The entire train itself is part of the journey: outside the window is flowing scenery, inside is a comfortable living space.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Shifang’ Panda Special Train’s main 2026 product is the 16-day Panoramic Tour of Southern and Northern Xinjiang, covering representative destinations such as Tianshan Tianchi, Turpan Flaming Mountain, Duku Highway, Bayanbulak Grassland, Nalati, Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake, Kashgar Old City, and the Pamir Plateau. The route design avoids backtracking, allowing you to experience Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes in one go — snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, deserts, oases, and historical and cultural sites interwoven.
The itinerary specially includes an in-depth experience on the southern section of the Duku Highway in a 7-seat business van and a visit to the Panlong Ancient Road in a small car. Core scenic areas are equipped with exclusive shuttle services to reduce waiting time. The train runs smoothly at night and arrives at attractions during the day, saving you from travel fatigue, especially suitable for the slow-paced travel needs of middle-aged, elderly, and family tourists.
All visited areas are within China’s regular open tourist zones, with well-developed scenic area facilities and mature services.
