The newly upgraded 2026 ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ Panda Special Train, styled as a ‘moving art gallery of Shu brocade and Song Dynasty elegance,’ takes you on a leisurely 16-day journey through northern and southern Xinjiang. With a fixed berth for the entire trip, night travel and daytime sightseeing, and no need to carry luggage, it is especially suitable for middle-aged and senior travelers seeking comfort and cultural experiences. This guide breaks down the real itinerary, latest prices, and registration methods for you.
📍 Itinerary Highlights:More than a train, it’s a moving cultural living room
The ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ is jointly created by China Railway Chengdu and cultural tourism institutions. The entire train has 18 carriages, blending Shu brocade patterns, Song-style furniture, and panda elements to create a serene and elegant living space. The carriages are equipped with constant-temperature fresh air systems, silent shock absorption, 24-hour emergency call systems, and dedicated ‘Panda Butler’ and onboard medical staff throughout the journey.
The route covers the eastern, northern, and southern regions of Xinjiang, connecting core attractions such as Tianshan Tianchi Lake, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kashgar Old City, and Kuqa Grand Canyon, encompassing snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, river valleys, Gobi oases, and historical sites. The pace is relaxed, with return to the train for rest after each day’s sightseeing, truly achieving ‘fast travel, slow enjoyment.’
It is worth mentioning that the summer 2026 departures (June to September) will pass through the middle and southern sections of the Duku Highway—a scenic road hailed as ‘China’s most beautiful highway,’ recommended to be open from June to September each year. Miss it, and you’ll have to wait another year.
