Tired of catching early flights, dragging luggage between hotels, and queuing at scenic spots? In 2026, try a more relaxed way to travel—board the ‘Shifang’ Panda Special Train, a mobile comfortable space where you explore attractions by day and fall asleep to the rhythm of the wheels by night. This 16-day journey across Northern and Southern Xinjiang combines transportation and accommodation, turning long-distance travel into part of the adventure, not a burden.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights:Experience the Diverse Landscapes of Xinjiang in One Trip
The route of the Shifang Panda Special Train connects the cultural heritage of Southern Xinjiang, the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, the lakes and mountains of Northern Xinjiang, and the geological wonders of Eastern Xinjiang. From the alleys of Kashgar Old City to the白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) in Taxkorgan, from the rugged Duku Highway to the vast Nalati Grassland, and from the serene Kanas Lake to the sunset at五彩滩 (Rainbow Beach), the journey covers Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural attractions.
The train passes through diverse landscapes: oasis cities on the edge of deserts, lakes at the foot of snow-capped mountains, millennia-old Silk Road towns, and modern ecological reserves. The itinerary adopts a ‘travel by night, explore by day’ model, saving daytime hours and avoiding frequent luggage moves, making it ideal for family trips or travelers seeking a slower pace.
Notably, the train itself is a scenic attraction. Its exterior features bronze green and light gold tones, incorporating ancient Shu culture elements, while the interior is equipped with facilities for different cabin classes, balancing privacy and social interaction.
