🚂 Slow travel through Xinjiang, staying in a moving oriental aesthetic space — the 2026 Jinxiu Tianfu 16-day North and South Xinjiang Special Train Journey.
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains and lakes reflect each other, grasslands and canyons intertwine, and ancient cities and Silk Road relics tell stories of a thousand years. However, for many tourists, the hundreds of kilometers between attractions, frequent transfers, and the fatigue of moving luggage often turn a “deep tour” into a “rushing tour.” The newly upgraded 2026 Jinxiu Tianfu Panda Special Train is designed to solve this pain point — it is not an ordinary train, but a movable comfortable residence, blending Bashu culture and Song Dynasty aesthetics, with a rhythm of “travel by day, sleep by night,” allowing you to leisurely traverse the highlights of North and South Xinjiang.

The entire train has 18 carriages, 46 double-occupancy cabins, with a capacity limited to 92 passengers to ensure ample space for each traveler.
