🚂 【2027 Xinjiang Train Tour Panda Special Train “Chengdu No.1” Latest Departure Dates and Price Guide】
When the green train passes through the Tianshan Mountains, the window reveals the crimson of the Flaming Mountains, the snow peaks of the Pamirs, and the azure blue of Sayram Lake—this is not an ordinary trip, but a moving panorama of scenery. In 2027, the “Chengdu No.1” Panda-themed tourist train continues its immersive slow-travel style, using the railway as its axis to connect the classic landscapes of southern and northern Xinjiang. Based on the latest verifiable information, this article sorts out the core elements of this route.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Panoramic Xinjiang Journey Through Four Seasons
The “Chengdu No.1” is not a traditional fast-paced sightseeing tour, but a mobile resort space integrating transportation, accommodation, and entertainment. The train features observation carriages, a chess and card area, and a cultural interaction corner, with daily activities such as Sichuan opera face-changing, lantern riddle contests, and folk song gatherings, making the journey itself part of the experience.
The itinerary spans representative regions including the Turpan Basin, Kashgar Old City, Pamir Plateau, Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, and Kanas Lake. Notably, the 2027 itinerary covers the full opening period of the Duku Highway (usually open from early June to late September each year), allowing visitors to fully experience this magnificent landscape belt known as “one of China’s most beautiful roads”—from red canyons to alpine meadows, with rich terrain layers and strong visual impact.
In addition, the route includes Hemu, Kanas, and other core northern Xinjiang scenic areas, and arranges a lakeside tour of Sayram Lake. Currently (early 2027), all major scenic areas are operating normally with stable entry policies and no special restrictions, but it is recommended to confirm the daily opening status via the scenic area’s official website or cultural tourism platform before departure.
