🚂 A New Choice for Deep Slow Travel:Shifang Panda Special Train: Embark on a 16-Day Silk Road Scenic Journey
Tired of rushing through attractions and crowded buses on conventional tours? Why not try the increasingly popular ‘mobile vacation’ approach—traveling on a themed special train, moving at a leisurely pace while enjoying upgraded experiences. In 2026, the ‘Shifang · Panda Special Train’ continues to operate its 16-day in-depth route through northern and southern Xinjiang, starting from Chengdu, crossing the Hexi Corridor, and delving deep into the Tianshan Mountains. It connects classic landscapes like Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau, the Duku Highway, Sayram Lake, and Kanas, making the journey itself part of the scenery.
🌄 Destination Highlights:Witness the Diverse Landscapes of the Western Regions in One Trip
This route spans the heart of northwestern China, covering various natural landscapes such as oases, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, and desert edges. From the millennia-old cityscape of Kashgar to the pristine plateau scenery of Baishahu Lake in Taxkorgan; from the swan habitat of the winding Bayanbulak Grassland to the vast pastoral songs of Nalati Grassland; and from the autumn mystery of Kanas in northern Xinjiang (with unique cool summer views) to the Flaming Mountains and Karez irrigation wonders in Turpan—each stop showcases the region’s grandeur and cultural heritage. All train stops avoid high-risk areas, and the itinerary balances comfort with sightseeing pace, suitable for middle-aged, elderly, and family travelers.
