🚂✨ 【Panda Special Train “Chengdu No.”:A Moving Scenic View Across the Tianshan Mountains】✨🚂
If Xinjiang is the synonym for “poetry and the distant place,” then the “Chengdu No.” Panda Special Train is a “moving poem” that packs this romance into its carriages. This 16-day in-depth journey across northern and southern Xinjiang uses “panda culture” as its thread, linking the scorching heat of Turpan, the ancient charm of Kashgar, the purity of the Pamir Plateau, and the pastoral songs of Ili’s grasslands, finally arriving at the Tianshan hidden wonders of Urumqi. Whether traveling with family, silver-haired travelers, or photography enthusiasts, everyone can find their own “Xinjiang memory” on this special train.
🌄 【Route Highlights:A Visual Feast Across Four Seasons】

The special train departs from Chengdu/Lanzhou, heading west along the Silk Road, crossing the Flaming Mountains of Turpan (where summer surface temperatures can reach 70°C), traversing the Pamir Plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and finally arriving at Urumqi at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Within 16 days, tourists will experience geographic wonders from basin to plateau, from desert to grassland, and from oasis to snow-capped mountains — a true “geography textbook-style journey.”
