The “Chengdu号” special train adopts a “land cruiser” style design, with the entire train equipped with 7-55-seat luxury soft-seat carriages and double occupancy cabins. Each cabin is fitted with a bathroom, viewing window, and intelligent temperature control system, striving to ensure travelers always have a quiet and comfortable private space while crossing deserts, plateaus, and grasslands. The special train itinerary covers Xinjiang’s three major geographical units—the Flaming Mountains and Karez in East Xinjiang, Kashgar Old City and the Pamir Plateau in South Xinjiang, and Sayram Lake and Kanas in North Xinjiang. Average daily travel time is controlled at 4-6 hours, with the rest of the time used for in-depth sightseeing, completely bidding farewell to the traditional travel mode of “sleeping on the bus and taking photos when getting off.”
