🚂 When the train itself becomes the journey:Jinxiu Tianfu, a slow travel journey not for rushing, but for immersion
In this fast-paced era, travel is often compressed into a checklist of check-ins—take a photo and leave, see the view and move on. But if you’re willing to slow down and let the scenery flow gently into your heart, then the ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ Panda Train might be the answer you’re looking for. It’s not just a mode of transportation, but a flowing lifestyle; not a transit station for hurried travelers, but a warm home throughout the journey.
This 16-day panoramic tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang starts from Chengdu or Lanzhou, heading west deep into the heart of Xinjiang, connecting snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and ancient cities. Stroll by Kanas Lake and Sayram Lake during the day, and return to the train to sleep at night. No need to move luggage or change hotels, truly achieving a relaxed pace of ‘the train follows the people, the people play while the train stops.’
📍 Route Highlights:Poetic Fusion of Shu Brocade Song Charm and Western Regions Scenery
The ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ is jointly created by China Railway Chengdu Group and Sichuan Tourism Investment Group. It is one of the few cultural tourism trains in China themed around ‘Shu Brocade Song Charm.’ Bamboo weaving crafts, Shu brocade patterns, and Song-style furniture can be seen everywhere in the carriages. Even the tea sets use intangible cultural heritage porcelain-bodied bamboo weaving, with details exuding the gentleness and elegance of Eastern aesthetics. The entire train has 18 carriages, with 46 guest rooms (92 seats) recommended, offering spacious and private accommodations. All rooms are equipped with bathrooms, and the train runs smoothly and quietly at night, ensuring high-quality rest.
More uniquely, it blends Bashu culture with Silk Road charm—attend a welcome cocktail party in Urumqi, enjoy a grassland afternoon tea in Hemu Village, and listen to a Silk Road concert at the Jiaohe Ancient City… The itinerary is not just about sightseeing, but about experiencing.

🌿 A Whisper to ‘Wine Lovers’ and Bar Owners
You say you’re a wine lover with a bar—this journey might suit you more than you think. Raise a glass at the welcome party in Urumqi, sip hot tea with a little wine under the starry sky of Hemu, and listen to ancient music with wine in the night of Jiaohe Ancient City… This is not a drunken revelry, but a poetic dwelling in a tipsy state. Jinxiu Tianfu doesn’t sell strong liquor, but it offers a richer ‘slow brew’: time, scenery, and culture all ferment slowly here.
Instead of listening to guests tell stories of distant places behind the bar, why not personally board this moving Bashu aesthetics museum and pour yourself a glass of true freedom in the wilderness of the Western Regions.
