The Jinxiu Tianfu is jointly created by the railway system and cultural tourism institutions. It features 18 carriages with a capacity of about 100 people, focusing on small-group luxury experiences.

The interior is inspired by the elegant lifestyle of the Song Dynasty, incorporating Shu brocade patterns, Song-style furniture, and panda elements, creating a ‘mobile Oriental aesthetics palace’ atmosphere.
The itinerary uses a ‘travel by night, sightsee by day’ model:Sleep comfortably in your cabin at night, and directly visit core scenic spots during the day without repeatedly moving luggage. It is especially suitable for family trips, group outings with friends, and elderly tourists seeking comfort.
The 2026 16-day full North-South Xinjiang loop covers key landmarks like Urumqi, Tianshan Tianchi, Hemu, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Duku Highway, Kashgar Old City, and Turpan, balancing natural wonders and cultural heritage.
