🚂 Slow travel, deep experience:The ‘An Yi Hao’ Panda Special Train takes you through the seasonal landscapes of Xinjiang
Tired of the exhausting travel of rushing between attractions, squeezing onto buses, and researching guides? In 2026, why not change the pace—board the panda-inspired ‘An Yi Hao’ tourist special train, departing from Chengdu, and embark on a 16-day immersive journey across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. This trip doesn’t chase ‘check-in counts’; instead, it uses a moving home to make the journey itself part of the scenery.
🌄 In-depth introduction to the route and destinations
The ‘An Yi Hao’ Panda Special Train focuses on the ‘Jianghu An Yi Tour: Panoramic Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang’, covering the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang. The itinerary spans the lake scenery of Kanas in northern Xinjiang, the morning mist of Hemu, the blue of Sayram Lake and the green of Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley, the vibrant atmosphere of Kashgar’s old city in southern Xinjiang, and the charm of the Flaming Mountains and Grape Valley in Turpan.
The areas the train passes through have large altitude differences and diverse landforms: from the Junggar Basin to the Pamir Plateau, from the edge of the desert to alpine lakes, each stop showcases Xinjiang’s vast and varied terrain. The itinerary includes multiple cultural interaction sessions, such as family tea gatherings with various ethnic groups and traditional handicraft experiences, emphasizing respectful and equal exchanges, allowing tourists to feel the warmth of regional culture at a slow pace.
It’s worth noting that the ‘An Yi Hao’ is not a modified ordinary train but a comfortable train specifically designed for tourism. The carriages feature private rooms, constant-temperature showers, smart electronic locks, and are equipped with a panda-themed restaurant, a bar car, and a lounge area. Onboard medical and service staff are available throughout the journey, balancing comfort and safety, making it especially suitable for middle-aged, elderly, and family travelers.
