π [Panda Train Β· An Yi Hao] β A Mobile Home for Slow Travel in Xinjiang, 16 Days Crossing Northern Xinjiang’s Scenery and Southern Xinjiang’s Culture
In an era of fast pace, a truly ‘slow down’ journey is especially precious. In 2026, the ‘Panda Train Β· An Yi Hao’ takes comfortable carriages as your home, starting from the northwestern gateway and delving deep into the Tianshan Mountains, passing through lakes, grasslands, canyons, ancient cities, and oases, offering a 16-day immersive experience of Xinjiang’s vastness and diversity. This is not just a sightseeing trip, but a mobile lifestyle proposal β sleep in berths, enjoy the scenery, savor cuisine, make friends, and avoid frequent hotel changes throughout the journey, making it worry-free and pleasant.
π Route Highlights:Spanning the North and South of the Tianshan Mountains, See the Best of Xinjiang in One Trip
The An Yi Hao route design balances natural wonders and cultural landscapes. The itinerary starts from Urumqi, first exploring the secrets of Northern Xinjiang: Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain, like a jade inlaid among snowy peaks; Hemu Village shrouded in morning mist, with wooden houses and cooking smoke creating a fairy-tale scene; a boat ride on Kanas Lake, with water colors changing with the light; the sunset at Rainbow Beach gilding the colorful Yadan landforms. Then heading south to the Ili River Valley, Sayram Lake is as blue as a mirror, and the Nalati Grassland rolls with green waves. Entering Southern Xinjiang, the old city of Kashgar has crisscrossing streets, and the High Terrace Houses preserve traditional building wisdom; in the Taxkorgan area, snowy mountains and lakes complement each other, and the White Sand Lake is serene and poetic; Turpan concludes with the coolness of Grape Valley, the wisdom of Karez Wells, and the heat of Flaming Mountain. The entire journey covers Xinjiang’s most representative geographical units, condensing the landscapes of four seasons into one trip.
According to the latest operational information for 2026, this route operates on fixed schedules, with stops arranged to match scenic spot openings and seasonal suitability. Note that some sections (such as the southern part of the Duku Highway) are heavily affected by weather. In case of temporary traffic controls or weather changes, the travel agency will, under guaranteed conditions, negotiate with tourists for reasonable adjustments to the itinerary order.
