🚂 2026 Panda Special Train An Yi Hao · 16-Day Northern and Southern Xinjiang Tour Registration Guide
——Slow travel along the Silk Road, take in Xinjiang’s landscapes and culture in one train
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
In 2026, Xinjiang tourism continues to heat up, and the ‘An Yi Hao’ Panda Special Train, with its comfortable model of ‘travel by day, sleep by night, luggage stays put,’ has become an ideal choice for many tourists to deeply experience Northern and Southern Xinjiang. This 16-day itinerary spans the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, from the snowy mountains and lakes of Northern Xinjiang to the oasis ancient cities of Southern Xinjiang, with diverse landscapes and a well-paced rhythm.
The itinerary covers multiple iconic Xinjiang scenic spots: Tianshan Tianchi is known as ‘a fairy pool like a painting,’ with blue lake water surrounded by snow-capped mountains; Hemu Village retains traditional wooden house clusters, shrouded in morning mist like a painting; Kanas Lake is famous for its ‘color-changing lake’ and three-bay landscape; Sayram Lake is a representative alpine cold-water lake, with wildflowers in summer and golden meadows reflecting the blue lake in autumn; Nalati Grassland is called the ‘hanging garden,’ with herds of cattle and sheep and winding streams; the Duku Highway connects the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, allowing you to experience four seasons in one day; on the Pamir Plateau, Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, and Muztagh Ata form a magnificent highland panorama; Kashgar Old City and Gaotai Folk Houses showcase the millennia-old urban style; Turpan’s Grape Valley, Karez Well, and Flaming Mountain present the unique wisdom of oasis civilization.
It is worth mentioning that in 2026, most scenic spots in Xinjiang generally implement a reservation-based entry system, but the special train group is handled uniformly by staff, so tourists do not need to operate on their own. Some sections, such as the Duku Highway, are open from mid-June to mid-October. Currently (late May), it has entered the preparation period for opening, and June departures can pass normally. Experience activities arranged in the itinerary, such as shuttle buses, boat rides, and folk home visits, are included in the service content, reducing additional worries for tourists.
