🚂✨In 2026, a slow-paced, immersive railway trip is quietly becoming a new choice for in-depth travel in Xinjiang—the ‘Ease’ Panda Special Train, departing from Chengdu/Lanzhou, crossing the Tianshan Mountains from north to south in 16 days, bringing hotels, restaurants, observation decks, and cultural experiences onto the rails. This journey doesn’t rush or require changing rooms; you get off during the day to explore the highlights and sleep soundly at night on a moving ‘land cruise,’ making it especially suitable for family trips, senior travelers, or those seeking relaxation.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Ease’ Panda Special Train connects Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes, covering the lakes and grasslands of northern Xinjiang and the ancient cities of the southern Xinjiang plateau. One trip includes classic destinations like Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Duku Highway, Kashgar Old City, and Flaming Mountain.
Tianshan Tianchi:Known as the ‘Jade Pool,’ with snow-capped mountains reflected in the blue lake, it’s a must-see alpine lake near Urumqi.
Kanas and Hemu:Northern Xinjiang’s autumn scenery is famous, while summer is lush and green. Take a boat ride on Kanas Lake to see the changing water colors, and enjoy the misty morning in Hemu Village, like a fairy tale.
Sayram Lake:Called the ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic,’ the lake is crystal clear and blue. Circle the lake to see the Guozigou Bridge and snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Southern Section of Duku Highway:Open for a few months each year (usually June to October), with canyons, grasslands, and snow-capped mountains along the way, known as one of ‘China’s Most Beautiful Highways.’
Kashgar Old City and Gaotai Folk Houses:Maze-like old streets and traditional handicraft workshops showcase the historical texture of this Silk Road hub.
