🚂After the inaugural departure of the 2026 Jinxiu Tianfu themed tourist special train featuring Shu brocade and Song Dynasty aesthetics, many tourists who wanted to deeply explore northern and southern Xinjiang gave positive feedback. As the 2026 departures gradually fill up, the pre-sale channel for the entire year of 2027 has officially opened. Tourists who want to take in the diverse scenery of northern and southern Xinjiang in one trip without enduring the rush of travel can learn relevant information in advance and make travel plans.
Basic Introduction to the Train
The Jinxiu Tianfu is the fourth product under the Panda Special Train series, jointly created by Chengdu Group Company and Sichuan Provincial Tourism Investment Group. It is positioned as a mobile cultural experience space integrating natural sightseeing, cultural immersion, and lifestyle aesthetics. The entire train is designed around Shu brocade intangible cultural heritage and Song Dynasty aesthetics. The carriage decorations incorporate Song Dynasty patterns reproduced by Shu brocade inheritors, creating a cultural atmosphere different from ordinary tourist special trains. Passengers can feel the immersive charm of Eastern elegance as soon as they board. The entire train consists of 18 carriages with 92 recommended seats, following a small-group quality travel route, avoiding the crowding and noise of regular tourist special trains. The train operates on a day-touring, night-traveling model: during the day it stops at stations for scenic area visits, and at night it travels to the next destination, placing travel time during rest periods to maximize sightseeing time. This also suits Xinjiang’s vast territory and scattered attractions, connecting more than ten core destinations across northern and southern Xinjiang in one trip without requiring tourists to plan segmented transportation themselves.
