The Splendid Orient号 Panda Special Train is a “phenomenal” product of Xinjiang tourism in 2027, redefining North and South Xinjiang travel with a “train + destination” in-depth tour model. This 16-day special train covers core areas such as Urumqi, Altay, Ili, Kuqa, and Kashgar, connecting 50+ highlight attractions including the Xinjiang Museum, Kanas, Sayram Lake, and the Duku Highway. It adopts a dual model of “moving sightseeing carriages + land first-class” and is equipped with luxury suites, bathrooms, and 24-hour butler service, making it worthy of the title “high-end resort hotel on wheels.”
📌 Core highlights:
✅ For 2027, 6 departure dates are recommended (May-September), with limited seats per date, avoiding “superficial sightseeing”
✅ Luxury double suites measure up to 15㎡, equipped with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and intelligent temperature control systems
✅ The exclusive carriage can be booked as a whole for 6 people, suitable for private family/friend travel
✅ 1:2 service ratio throughout (1 tourist to 2 staff), including a dedicated photographer following along
