🚂 Slowly travel through mountains and rivers, settle in a moving home——Ease Panda Special Train 2026 16-day Deep Immersion New Experience of Southern and Northern Xinjiang
In an era of increasingly fast-paced travel, more and more tourists are beginning to rethink ‘how to truly see the scenery.’ Instead of rushing to check in, it’s better to slow down and, on a train that blends comfort and aesthetics, delve deep into the heart of Xinjiang during the day and fall asleep under the stars at night. In 2026, the ‘Ease’ Panda Tourist Special Train, starting and ending in Chengdu/Lanzhou, will embark on a 16-day immersive journey across the northern and southern sides of the Tianshan Mountains——this is not just a geographical crossing, but a gentle dialogue about nature, culture, and the rhythm of life.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The Ease special train runs through Xinjiang’s core landscape belt, from the snowy mountains and lakes of Northern Xinjiang to the canyons and oases of Southern Xinjiang, covering multiple areas such as Altay, Ili, Kashgar, Kuqa, and Turpan, showcasing the geological wonder of ‘different weather every ten miles.’
The first part of the itinerary focuses on Northern Xinjiang: Tianchi Lake of Tianshan Mountain is as clear as a mirror, Hemu Village is shrouded in morning mist, Kanas Lake is mysterious and serene, and the Rainbow Beach is dazzling under the sunset; the middle part enters the Ili River Valley, where Sayram Lake is known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ and the Nalati Grassland unfolds the vast poetry of alpine pastures; then it goes south along the Duku Highway, crossing the red rock walls of the Tianshan Grand Canyon, arriving at the old city of Kashgar to experience the life of thousand-year-old streets; finally, between the Grape Valley and the Flaming Mountains of Turpan, savor the unique rhythm of oasis civilization.
It is worth mentioning that in 2026, many scenic spots in Xinjiang have fully implemented a reservation-based entry system. For example, areas like Kanas and Hemu implement real-name reservations and flow control from May to October, with clear daily maximum capacities (Kanas about 27,000 people, Hemu about 20,000 people), and opening hours from 08:00 to 20:00. Sayram Lake’s peak season (mid-April to end of October) has opening hours from 10:00 to 20:00, and it is recommended to allow more than half a day for sightseeing. Nalati Grassland enters peak season from April, with a ticket price of 95 yuan/person, allowing a second entry within 48 hours. The above reservations and shuttle bus arrangements are coordinated by the accompanying staff, and tourists do not need to handle them themselves.
In addition, the Duku Highway is expected to open in mid-June 2026, allowing vehicles with 7 seats or fewer. When the itinerary involves this section, compliant shuttle vehicles will be arranged to ensure smooth sightseeing as much as possible.
