🌄 Detailed introduction to the route or destination:A moving scenic route through North and South Xinjiang
As a representative of domestic high-end tourist trains, the Panda Special Train “Splendid Orient” is designed with the concept of a “moving five-star hotel,” deeply integrating train travel with Xinjiang’s local culture. The newly upgraded “Duku Edition” route for 2027 covers core areas of North and South Xinjiang such as Urumqi, Altay, Ili, Kuqa, and Kashgar, connecting diverse landscapes including snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and canyons. It also innovatively launches three branch routes A/B/C to meet different tourists’ needs for nature exploration and cultural experiences.
The train itself can be called a “moving art gallery”: the entire train adopts a design style combining retro green train cars with modern light luxury, equipped with large viewing windows, bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, and intelligent control systems. Each carriage has a public leisure area, providing free tea breaks, a reading room, and local specialty handmade experiences. The service team is staffed at a 1:2 ratio (i.e., 1 staff member for every 2 tourists), providing 24-hour butler service covering details such as luggage handling, laundry care, and itinerary commentary.
Currently, tourism in North and South Xinjiang continues to heat up. According to 2026 data from the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism, searches for summer grassland tours in North Xinjiang and autumn cultural tours in South Xinjiang increased by 47% year on year, and special train travel, due to its features of “saving effort and worry, deep experience,” has become a popular choice for family trips and senior travelers. Splendid Orient, through the “one price includes designated items within the itinerary” model, integrates transportation, accommodation, meals, tickets, and special activities, avoiding the trouble of frequent transfers in traditional travel, and is especially suitable for tourists pursuing quality and comfort.
