🚂 【2027 Panda Special Train ‘Chengdu’ Pre-sale Now Open｜New Immersive Slow Travel Experience】
When a train is no longer just a means of transportation, but becomes the journey itself—in 2027, the ‘Chengdu’ Panda Special Train sets off once again, connecting the vast landscapes of Xinjiang through a mobile luxury space. Unlike traditional group tours, the ‘Chengdu’ emphasizes an immersive rhythm of ‘the train follows the scenery, and people travel within a painting.’ The carriages blend Sichuan cultural elements with modern comfort, making the journey ceremonial from the very moment of departure.
📍 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Chengdu’ itinerary spans both southern and northern Xinjiang, covering the blazing red rocks of Turpan, the crystal-clear lakes of the Pamir Plateau, the four-season transformations of the Duku Highway, and the grassland flower seas of the Ili River Valley. The route is cleverly designed to avoid high-intensity hiking, focusing on a balance between landscape diversity and cultural experiences.
Turpan Section:The Flaming Mountain’s crimson rock formations rise like blazing flames under the sun, while the Karez underground irrigation system showcases ancient wisdom—an important window into oasis agricultural civilization.
Kashgar Old City:Streets and alleys crisscross, with century-old teahouses and handicraft workshops lining the paths. Hexagonal brick carvings and wooden lattice windows create a unique architectural style, and the evening welcome banquet adds warmth.
Pamir Plateau:White Sand Lake is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the snow-capped peak of Muztagh Ata; by Karakul Lake, you can gaze at the ‘Father of Icebergs’ in the distance, with serene and majestic lake and mountain scenery.

🚂【2027 Panda Special Train ‘Chengdu’ Pre-sale Now Open｜New Immersive Slow Travel Experience】Duku Highway:Known as ‘one of China’s most beautiful highways,’ during its full opening from June to September, you can experience four types of terrain in a single day—canyons, snow mountains, forests, and grasslands.
Ili River Valley:Nalati Grassland boasts lush pastures, and the Tianshan Flower Sea scenic area is covered with wildflowers; Sayram Lake stretches with vast blue waves, surrounded by mountains, known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic.’
Altay Region:Hemu and Kanas represent the autumn beauty of northern Xinjiang. The misty wooden villages and the crystal-clear Three Bays (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, and Sleeping Dragon Bay) create a fairytale-like landscape.
Heavenly Lake of Tianshan:The snow-capped Bogda Peak reflects in the lake year-round, with spruce trees standing tall along the shore—a classic natural scenic area near Urumqi.
Currently (early 2027), all major scenic areas in Xinjiang are open normally, with sufficient transportation and accommodation capacity. The Duku Highway is expected to remain open from late May to early October, and this route’s schedule fully covers its optimal sightseeing period.
