🚂 [Chengdu号 North and South Xinjiang Luxury Train:A mobile palace crossing the Tianshan Mountains and grasslands]🌄
As the train slowly pulls out of Chengdu Station, an epic journey spanning north and south Xinjiang begins. This Chengdu号 luxury train, called by tourists a “moving five-star hotel,” links the heat of Turpan, the ancient charm of Kashgar, the sanctity of the Pamir Plateau, and the magnificence of the Duku Highway in a 16-day ultra-long itinerary. The latest 2026 departure dates have been announced. Let us unveil the mystery of this “feast on wheels.”
🌄 [Route Highlights:A visual feast blending nature and culture]
The Chengdu号 train uses fully enclosed air-conditioned carriages, equipped with large viewing windows, bathrooms, 24-hour hot water, and underfloor heating. Even on the Pamir Plateau at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, you can enjoy a comfortable, temperature-controlled travel environment. The whole train is recommended to have 30 guest rooms, divided into two room types: “Leisure Residence” (5-person customized car) and “Poetic Residence” (4-person customized car). Each guest room is equipped with an intelligent temperature control system, humidifier, and oxygen supply device to alleviate the dryness and oxygen shortage of the plateau.
The train itinerary covers more than 80% of Xinjiang’s 5A-level scenic areas, from the karez wells of Turpan to the Moon Bay of Kanas, from the winding turns of the Duku Highway to the galloping horses of the Nalati Grasslands. Daily stop stations are carefully designed. A special “mobile culture classroom” is arranged: Sichuan opera face-changing, panda doll interaction, lantern riddle contests, and other activities are staged in turn in the dining car, filling the long journey with laughter and joy. During nighttime travel, the carriage lights automatically dim; looking up at the starry sky through the viewing windows, the Milky Way seems within reach.
