🚂 Panda Special Train “Chengdu No. 1”:More than a train, it is a moving cultural living room
In the fast-paced era of travel, “slowing down” has become a rare experience. In 2026, the Panda Special Train “Chengdu No. 1” redefines the Northwest journey with “residential-style in-depth travel” — it is not simply a mode of transportation, but a moving cultural space traveling through snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and the Gobi Desert. Among its features, the “Liuyun Pavilion” and “Yuefu Hall” serve as signature functional carriages on the train and have become highlights that travelers love to talk about.
🌿 “Liuyun Pavilion” and “Yuefu Hall”:Cultural living rooms in the carriage
The “Chengdu No. 1” train has a total of 18 carriages. In addition to sleeping compartments, it features specially designed multi-functional public areas, the most representative of which are Liuyun Pavilion and Yuefu Hall.
Liuyun Pavilion:
This is a sightseeing tea-and-coffee carriage that blends Eastern aesthetics with modern leisure concepts. The carriage features a streamlined dome ceiling design with large panoramic windows, allowing views of the Tianshan snow peaks and Gobi sunsets during the day, while transforming into a stargazing tea lounge at night. Daily scheduled activities include intangible cultural heritage handicraft experiences (such as Shu embroidery pattern rubbing and lacquer fan painting), tea art gatherings, and light music sharing sessions, creating an atmosphere of “sitting in a painting while the train travels with the clouds.”
Yuefu Hall:
Named after the cultural imagery of “Yuefu poetry,” this is actually a multi-functional entertainment carriage. During the day, it serves as a board game area, reading corner, and small lecture space; after nightfall, it transforms into a themed party stage — Sichuan opera face-changing, folk song duets, lantern riddle contests, and other activities take turns. The “folk song gathering + Werewolf” arranged on the D15 return journey takes place here, ensuring the end of the trip remains full of laughter.
These two carriages have no fixed seating; all passengers can enter freely with their room cards, truly realizing “the carriage is a social space, and the journey is life.”
