🚂✨ 【2026 Panda Special Train · Jinxiu Tianfu】16-Day Panoramic Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang:Slow Travel Through Mountains and Rivers, Luxuriously Enjoy the Silk Road
In this fast-paced era, a journey that measures the Western Regions by wheels and collects the four seasons through window views is becoming a lifestyle many aspire to. In 2026, the “Tianfu” Panda Special Train continues its immersive travel concept, launching a classic loop route across the Tianshan Mountains—starting from Chengdu or Lanzhou, passing through Urumqi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Kuqa, Kashgar, and Turpan, and finally returning, lasting 16 days in total, covering snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, ancient cities, and oases all at once. This is not just a geographical crossing but a deep experience of natural aesthetics and human warmth.
🌄 Route Highlights:More Than Scenery, a Reconstruction of Lifestyle
The “Tianfu” is not a traditional tourist train but a mobile high-end living space. The carriages are equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, large viewing windows, and dedicated butler service. The daily itinerary is relaxed, avoiding rushed check-ins, and emphasizes “local experiences”: such as an afternoon tea in the Hemu village forest, a starlight concert at the Jiaohe Ancient City, and a handicraft visit in the Kashgar Old City, all integrated into the daily flow.
The 2026 route has specially optimized the stay time in the Northern Xinjiang section, giving tourists ample opportunities to capture the morning mist over Kanas’ Three Bays (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, and Crouching Dragon Bay) and the sunrise at the Haden Observation Deck. The Southern Xinjiang part retains the classic scenic belt towards Tashkurgan—the clarity of Baisha Lake, the majesty of Muztagh Ata, the reflections of Karakul Lake—with professional photography guidance for aerial filming, enhancing participation.
Note that due to seasonal road conditions, the October 2nd departure will cancel the Duku Highway itinerary and replace it with an alternative route. Specific arrangements will be notified before departure. Other departures will normally pass through the middle and southern sections of the Duku Highway, showcasing the magnificent spectacle of “four seasons in one day.”
