🐼 Jinxiu Tianfu Special Train:Shu Charm Companion, 16 Days to Panoramic Views of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
When the gentle charm of Bashu culture meets the vast magnificence of Xinjiang, the 2026 Jinxiu Tianfu Special Train sets sail with a new Chinese-style theme configuration, offering a more comfortable travel option for tourists who want to deeply explore Xinjiang.
✨ Basic Introduction and Features of the Special Train
As a high-end tourist special train integrating elements of Shu culture, the Jinxiu Tianfu Train has a total of 18 carriages, with a recommended setup of 92 seats, fully ensuring travel space for each passenger. The train supports boarding and alighting at two starting points: Chengdu and Lanzhou. Passengers can flexibly choose their assembly point based on their city, and staff will provide pick-up and drop-off services before boarding, eliminating the need to travel to the station on their own.
The train primarily adopts a ‘travel by night, tour by day’ mode, with long-distance movements arranged at night, leaving full daytime hours for sightseeing at scenic spots, avoiding the fatigue of traditional group tours with frequent early starts and long bus rides. The interior of the carriages features five themed functional areas, including sleeping spaces, tea conversation and gathering areas, a dining car, a sightseeing and entertainment area, and a wellness space. During the journey, even on the train, you can enjoy a variety of leisure activities: you can chat and sip tea with fellow travelers in the tea area, or capture the Gobi Desert and snow-capped mountain scenery along the way from the observation hall. On the return leg, there are also intangible cultural heritage hands-on experience activities, making the journey more than just sightseeing.
Compared with ordinary tourist special trains, the Jinxiu Tianfu Train has outstanding advantages:
