“In-depth Experience of the Tianfu Special Train:A Moving Scenic Line from Chengdu to Xinjiang”
🚂 Train Panorama:A Moving ‘Five-Star Mobile Palace’
Since its upgrade in 2023, the Tianfu Special Train has become a ‘mobile resort hotel’ spanning Northwest China. This panda-culture-themed train features adorable panda patterns on its exterior, with interiors decorated in walnut wood and beige soft furnishings. Each carriage is equipped with air conditioning and air purification systems to ensure air quality during long journeys. The train departs from both Chengdu and Lanzhou, stopping at 12 stations including Urumqi, Beitun, and Kanas. Covering 70% of Xinjiang’s core scenic spots over 16 days, it is one of the few domestic special trains offering ‘one trip, multiple stops, deep and slow travel.’
Unlike ordinary tourist trains, the Tianfu Special Train adopts a ‘sightseeing by day, traveling by night’ model, maximizing daylight hours for exploration. For example, in the Kanas section, the train deliberately stops on a dedicated track within the scenic area, allowing tourists to step directly into Hemu Village in the morning mist, avoiding peak tourist crowds. According to 2026 operational data, the train runs 8 recommended trips annually, each limited to 88 passengers, ensuring meticulous service.
