🌄 Route highlights:Travel through the essence of North and South Xinjiang in one trip, with a slow-paced in-depth roaming experience
The Shifang Panda Train operating in 2026 is a truly “residence-style” tourist train. It connects the cultural ancient cities of South Xinjiang with the natural hidden gems of North Xinjiang, covering core destinations across Xinjiang such as Kashgar, Tashkurgan, Kuqa, Nalati, Sayram Lake, Kanas, Urumqi, and Turpan.
Unlike the traditional group tour model of “leaving early and returning late, changing luggage every day,” the Shifang adopts a design of touring by day and traveling by night, with one berth all the way through — you get off to sightsee during the day and return to a fixed compartment to rest at night, without moving large luggage throughout the trip. It is especially suitable for family trips, middle-aged and elderly friends, or travelers who want a relaxed and in-depth experience of Xinjiang’s scenery.
The train has a total of 17 carriages, equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, panoramic viewing windows, as well as leisure spaces such as a tea bar, KTV, mahjong tables, and cigar bar, making it worthy of being called a “mobile vacation community.”
