🚂 An Yi Hao Panda Train｜Turning Xinjiang into a Moving ‘Sichuan Living Room’
If you’re tired of the hassle of constantly changing hotels, lugging luggage, and rushing through itineraries in traditional travel, yet yearn to deeply explore the highlights of both northern and southern Xinjiang in one go—then the newly upgraded ‘An Yi Hao Panda Train’ in 2026 might be the travel style you’ve been waiting for. It’s not an ordinary train, but a ‘land cruise’ that blends Sichuan-Chongqing cultural aesthetics with Western Region scenery. During the day, you delve into scenic spots, and at night, you return to your private carriage to rest, truly achieving a slow-paced, deep exploration where ‘the train moves with you, and stops when you play.’
🌄 Route Highlights:16 Days Crossing Snowy Mountains, Lakes, Grasslands, and Ancient Cities
The ‘An Yi Hao’ runs through four major areas: Northern Xinjiang’s natural wonders, the Ili River Valley, the southern section of the Duku Highway, Southern Xinjiang’s cultural settlements, and Eastern Xinjiang’s unique landscapes, covering 24 core attractions including Tianshan Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kashgar Old City, and the Flaming Mountains.
Northern Xinjiang Section:In 2026, the Kanas Lake cruise operates from 9:00 to 18:30; the Hemu scenic area is open from 8:00 to 20:00, and the Haden Observation Deck offers a panoramic view of the wooden houses in the morning mist.
Sayram Lake:During peak season (May 1 to October 15), private cars are prohibited from the lake-ring road, but the train’s shuttle buses can pass through a reservation channel. Swans often gather at Kele Yongzhu; it’s recommended to bring oil-free, salt-free naan bread for feeding.
Southern Section of the Duku Highway:Open in summer, it passes through the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon, with striking red-layer landscapes. Specific access is subject to the year’s traffic management announcements.
Kashgar Area:Kashgar Old City is a free, living neighborhood. The High Terrace Residences are open as a cultural heritage site, featuring intangible cultural heritage displays and traditional artisan workshops, showcasing the historical fabric of multi-ethnic settlements.
