🚂 [Panda Train · Splendid Orient Express:Unlock the “Mobile Palace” of a 16-day in-depth tour of North and South Xinjiang] 🚂
✨ [Route overview:A mobile feast crossing the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains] ✨
In 2027, the Panda Train “Splendid Orient Express” will launch a 16-day in-depth tour route of North and South Xinjiang under the theme “Star Canopy · Realm of Xinjiang.” With the design concept of a “Mobile Palace,” the entire train adopts luxurious double suites and premium fully customized carriage configurations, equipped with high-end services such as guaranteed group departure, a 1:2 service ratio, and dedicated photographers accompanying the tour. It connects core destinations in North and South Xinjiang such as Urumqi, Altay, Ili, Kuqa, and Kashgar, covering multiple landscapes including grasslands, lakes, canyons, ancient cities, and border areas. It is suitable for family trips, small-group tours, and photography enthusiasts seeking quality and privacy.
🌄 [Destination details:The finest scenery and cultural codes of North and South Xinjiang] 🌄
📍 North Xinjiang:A symphony of nature and folk customs
The Altay region centers on Kanas and Hemu. In summer the grass is lush, and in autumn the forests are dyed in layers. Tuva wooden houses and the border village of Baihaba are scattered throughout. The train offers three branch routes A/B/C:
Route A offers an in-depth experience of the Three Bays hike in Kanas, sunrise at Hemu Village, and a Tuva concert;
Route B focuses on light forest hikes and exploration of the China-Kazakhstan border grand canyon;
Route C covers lesser-known hidden gems such as Naren Ranch and Baihaba.
📍 South Xinjiang:A collision of history and distinctive humanities
The Kashgar Old City is a living fossil of Western Regions culture. The Id Kah Mosque, century-old teahouses, and bazaar markets form a rich folk-custom picture. The train designs experiences such as the Pamir Plateau, Panlong Ancient Road, and home visits to people of various ethnic groups, paired with geological wonders such as the Keziliya Grand Canyon and Baisha Lake, showcasing the vastness and depth of South Xinjiang.
📍 Ili Valley:The romance of grasslands and flower seas
Sayram Lake’s “last tear of the Atlantic,” the sky garden of Nalati Grassland, and the wildflowers everywhere in the hundred-mile gallery of Tangbula form Ili’s summer fairy tale. The train specially arranges experiences such as a wilderness kitchen and a light hike on the Mengke Te Ancient Road, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature.
