🚂 Slow travel through Xinjiang, starting from a train that ‘breathes’
In 2026, more and more travelers are choosing to explore the vast northwest in a more relaxed way. The ‘An Yi Hao’ Panda Special Train is a mobile living space that blends comfort, pace, and scenery—it leisurely travels through the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains, turning the vast land of Xinjiang into a 16-day immersive painting. Unlike the tight pace of traditional group tours, this journey is based on the concept of ‘the train stops with the scenery, and the scenery slows with the people,’ making the journey itself a part of the landscape.
🌄 Route Highlights:A panoramic journey across northern and southern Xinjiang
The ‘An Yi Hao’ Panda Special Train connects Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes: starting from Urumqi, heading north to Kanas Lake, then south through the Duku Highway, passing through the Ili River Valley and the Pamir Plateau, finally arriving at the southern Xinjiang city of Kashgar, then east back to Turpan. The entire route covers diverse ecological units such as alpine lakes (Tianchi Lake, Sayram Lake), grassland pastures (Nalati), canyon landforms (Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon), desert oases (Kashgar Old City), and plateau wetlands (Baisha Lake, Golden Grass Beach).
The regions along the route have distinct seasons, with pleasant weather and lush vegetation from May to September, making it an ideal time to enjoy the landscapes of northern Xinjiang and the cultural features of southern Xinjiang. The train is equipped with all-sleeper carriages, featuring bathrooms or shared clean washing areas, observation windows, reading lights, USB charging ports, and a butler call system to ensure basic convenience and privacy during the journey. Dining services include multiple meals, featuring local specialty banquets (such as welcome dinners and fruit feasts), balancing nutrition and regional flavors.
