🚂✨ [New Trend of Slow Travel｜Take the ‘Shifang’ Panda Special Train on a 16-Day Journey Through Northern and Southern Xinjiang]
In this fast-paced era, more and more people are longing for a ‘slow down’ way of traveling—no need to catch early flights or drag luggage between hotels. Just sit back in the carriage, and watch the snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and deserts unfold outside the window. In 2026, the ‘Shifang’ Panda Special Train is exactly such a unique tourist train that combines comfort, culture, and scenery. Starting from Chengdu or Lanzhou, it takes you deep into the heart of Xinjiang, covering the highlights of both northern and southern Xinjiang in one trip.
🌄 In-Depth Experience of Routes and Destinations
The ‘Shifang’ Panda Special Train is built by China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. It consists of 17 carriages with a capacity of 466 passengers. The theme design integrates Sanxingdui bronze culture and panda elements, blending modern comfort with regional characteristics. The train passes through classic destinations such as Kashgar, Taxkorgan, Kuqa, Nalati, Yining, Hemu, Kanas, Urumqi, and Turpan, covering natural and cultural landscapes like Tianshan Tianchi Lake, Sayram Lake, Kanas Lake, Colorful Beach, Flaming Mountain, Baisha Lake, and Panlong Ancient Road. The diverse terrain ranges from the Pamir Plateau to the Junggar Basin, from Gobi oases to alpine meadows, showcasing Xinjiang’s varied geographical features.
