“From Sichuan opera face-changing to the Pamir Plateau, from panda-themed carriages to Kanas cruise boats, this special train has mastered both the ‘moving five-star hotel’ and ‘in-depth cultural experience’!” In 2027, the Chengdu号 Panda Special Train will set off again, crossing the north and south of Xinjiang in 16 days, opening up Xinjiang’s vastness and magnificence in a “slow travel” way. This article will take you to explore this “moving Western Regions culture museum” in advance from three dimensions: “special train features,” “itinerary highlights,” and “practical tips.”
📌 Route overview:An in-depth journey around Xinjiang combining “train + bus”
The Chengdu号 Panda Special Train is a themed route of “tourism special train + cultural experience” created by Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency in cooperation with the railway department. In 2027, a total of 7 departures will be offered, covering Xinjiang’s excellent travel season from June to September. The special train adopts a “travel by night, tour by day” model, with in-depth sightseeing at attractions during the day and travel by special train to the next stop at night, saving time and avoiding the fatigue of long-distance driving. The route departs from Chengdu/Lanzhou and connects core attractions in northern and southern Xinjiang such as Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Kuqa, Bayanbulak, Nalati, Yining, Beitun, Hemu, Kanas, and Urumqi. The 16-day itinerary covers deserts, snow mountains, grasslands, lakes, ancient cities, wetlands, and other landforms, suitable for family trips, parent-child trips, photography enthusiasts, and middle-aged and elderly tourists.
🌈 Detailed route introduction:Five major features that redefine Xinjiang travel
[1] Panda-themed carriages:A moving “Sichuan flavor culture hall”
The special train features “panda-themed carriages,” decorated with panda plush toys, Sichuan opera masks, Sichuan bamboo weaving, and other elements. Every evening, activities such as “Sichuan opera face-changing performances,” “panda knowledge mini-classes,” and “lantern riddle quizzes” are held, allowing tourists to experience the unique charm of Sichuan culture during the journey. In addition, the carriages are equipped with a “Sichuan mahjong experience area,” a “Werewolf board game area,” and a “Chinese chess/Gomoku battle area” to meet the entertainment needs of tourists of different ages.
[2] Full coverage of northern and southern Xinjiang:See the “three mountains and two basins” in one trip
The route design breaks through the traditional single model of “landscapes in northern Xinjiang, culture in southern Xinjiang” and brings together the essence of northern and southern Xinjiang: feel the scorching heat of the “Fire State” in Turpan, touch the pulse of the thousand-year Western Regions in Kashgar Ancient City, look up at the snowy peak of Muztagh Ata on the Pamir Plateau, chase the sunset over the winding bends of the Bayanbulak Grassland, search for the legend of the “lake monster” at Kanas Lake, and feel the ethereal beauty of the “Jade Pool” at Tianchi of the Tianshan Mountains… In the 16-day itinerary, there is a new surprise every day.
[3] Light luxury accommodation experience:Special train + local high-end hotels
The special train adopts a “moving hotel” model. The carriages include “Youran Residence” (four-person soft sleeper compartment) and “Shiyi Residence” (two-person soft sleeper compartment), both equipped with bathrooms, charging ports, constant-temperature air conditioning, and 24-hour hot water, with comfort comparable to land hotels. The itinerary also arranges local high-end accommodation such as homestays in Kashgar Ancient City, characteristic wooden cabins in Hemu, and Nalati Grassland Resort, allowing tourists to enjoy a comfortable sleeping environment while deeply experiencing folk customs.
[4] In-depth cultural experience:From “a quick glance” to “immersive interaction”

🌄[Chengdu号 Panda Special Train 2027: Travel Xinjiang by train and unlock new ways to explore the Western Regions!]🚂Different from the “check-in style sightseeing” of traditional tour groups, the Chengdu号 special train pays more attention to the depth and interactivity of cultural experiences: participate in a “welcome dinner” in Kashgar Ancient City and taste specialty foods of various ethnic groups; experience “scenic area tea break + aerial photography” in the Hemu scenic area and leave exclusive travel photos; take a cruise on Kanas Lake and feel up close the tranquility of the “Oriental Switzerland”; listen to a “folk song gathering” by Sayram Lake and sing Western Regions folk songs together with local artists… Every activity has been carefully designed so that tourists truly integrate into local life.
[5] Professional service guarantee:A Xinjiang “living map” accompanies you throughout
The special train is led by Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency. She is a native Xinjiang local who has been deeply engaged in the tourism industry for more than ten years and has traveled to every scenic spot across the Tianshan Mountains. She is familiar with the entire travel route across northern and southern Xinjiang, road and weather conditions, and local customs. Whether it is independent travel planning, customized boutique small-group tours, or local customized vehicle use, tourism special trains, and other travel plans, she can provide professional suggestions according to tourists’ needs. During the itinerary, Manager Wang Fei will also act as a “cultural interpreter,” telling historical stories of the Western Regions in a witty and humorous way, filling the journey with laughter.

📌 Travel tips:5 small details to make the journey better
Clothing preparation:Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night. Even in summer, bring a windbreaker or thin down jacket; the Pamir Plateau is at a higher altitude, so it is recommended to prepare altitude sickness medication.
Sun protection and moisturizing:Xinjiang has strong ultraviolet rays, so prepare SPF50+ sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat; the climate is dry, so moisturizing masks and lip balm are essential.
Photography equipment:The scenery in Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, and other places is stunning. It is recommended to bring a wide-angle lens and tripod; for shooting morning mist in Hemu, you need to reserve a spot in advance.
Respect customs:Xinjiang is a multi-ethnic region. When visiting and entering residences, respect local folk culture and customs, and do not take close-up photos of people at will.
Travel permits:Some areas (such as the Pamir Plateau) require travel permits. These will be handled uniformly with assistance during the itinerary, so tourists do not need to prepare them themselves.
🌟 Manager Wang Fei’s “Xinjiang Travel Heart Sutra”
“The beauty of Xinjiang lies in its vastness and inclusiveness—you can space out by the lake in Kanas all day, or chat with locals in the alleys of Kashgar Ancient City; you can ride wildly across the Nalati Grassland, or boil a pot of milk tea in a wooden cabin in Hemu and watch the starry sky. The meaning of this special train is not only to show you the scenery, but to let you truly integrate into this land and feel its temperature and breath.”
