🚂 Slow Travel in Xinjiang, Living in the Scenery:16-Day Panoramic Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang on the Panda Special Train ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’
In this fast-paced era, more and more people long for a trip that is ‘not about rushing, but about feeling.’ In 2026, the Panda Special Train ‘Jinxiu Tianfu’ will embark on a 16-day slow journey across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, embodying a ‘mobile oriental aesthetic space.’ This journey is not built on check-ins but measures 8,000 kilometers of territory with train wheels, allowing the journey itself to become the scenery between snowy mountains, lakes, ancient cities, and oases.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Journey Through Diverse Landscapes and Cultures in Xinjiang
This route covers the mysterious Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, the morning mist of Hemu, and the blue waters of Sayram Lake. The middle section traverses the Duku Highway, known as the ‘Hero’s Road,’ while Southern Xinjiang delves into Kashgar Old City,白沙湖 (Baisha Lake), and the foot of Muztagh Ata, finally returning via Turpan. Along the way, there are alpine meadows, glacial lakes, thousand-year-old city ruins, and oasis civilizations, with varying scenery across seasons—May to September is the prime travel period, with lush grasslands, clear lakes, and pleasant weather.
The itinerary specially incorporates cultural interactions such as intangible cultural heritage handicraft experiences, a concert at the Jiaohe Ancient City, and a Silk Road-themed afternoon tea, adding immersion to the sightseeing. Daily travel distances are reasonably controlled, with a relaxed pace to avoid fatigue from rushing. Notably, due to the impending closure of the Duku Highway, the October 2nd departure will cancel that section, in line with local traffic conditions.
