🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Shifang Number·Panda Train’ in 2026 focuses on a 16-day panoramic tour connecting Sichuan and Xinjiang, covering the core landscapes of eastern, southern, and northern Xinjiang. The itinerary begins with the cultural vibrancy of Kashgar’s ancient city, crosses the白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and Panlong Ancient Road on the Pamir Plateau, then traverses the Tianshan Mountains along the Duku Highway, passing through Nalati Grassland and Bayanbulak Swan Lake, finally reaching the mysterious northern Xinjiang destinations of Kanas and Hemu Village. On the return trip, it also includes Heavenly Lake Tianshan and the Flaming Mountains in Turpan, achieving a true ‘one trip to see all of beautiful Xinjiang’.
The landscapes along the way are diverse: snowy mountains and lakes, Gobi oases, alpine meadows, and desert oases alternate. Visitors can experience the legacy of the ancient Silk Road in Kashgar, enjoy warm hospitality from local families in Taxkorgan, quietly observe the ‘last tear of the Atlantic’ by Sayram Lake, and admire the stunning interplay of Yadan landforms and the Irtysh River at the Colorful Beach. The entire journey balances natural scenery and cultural experiences, with a well-paced rhythm suitable for families, middle-aged and elderly travelers, and those who prefer slow travel.
Please note that due to uncontrollable factors such as weather, road conditions, or scenic area policies, the actual itinerary may be reasonably adjusted with mutual agreement. Specific arrangements are subject to the final tour notice.
