✨ Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The “Panda Special Train · Jinxiu Tianfu” is a brand-new quality tourism train launched in 2026, having just completed its maiden test ride at the end of April. Designed and renovated by CRRC Chengdu Locomotive & Rolling Stock Co., Ltd., it features a Chinese-style “Shu Brocade Song Charm” design theme, blending panda elements with traditional aesthetics. The entire train resembles a movable cultural art gallery, allowing passengers to feel a strong cultural atmosphere as soon as they step aboard. The train consists of 18 carriages, including 2 “Jin Ta” luxury room carriages, 10 “Jin Wo” quality room carriages, along with a “Jin Ya” multifunctional welcome carriage, a “Jin Shi” multifunctional dining car, a “Jin Ji” entertainment and landscape car, and support carriages for kitchen, accommodation, and power generation. With a total of 46 rooms, it balances travel quality and privacy, suitable for family trips, friend gatherings, or business travel.
The train operation team is equipped with dual guides, dedicated train butlers, 24-hour porters, and medical staff for health support, seamlessly connecting all itinerary segments to provide passengers with 24-hour attentive service. The 16-day North and South Xinjiang route is the core inaugural route, linking over 10 key scenic areas across North and South Xinjiang, covering plateau lakes, mountain grasslands, Danxia canyons, ancient Silk Road cities, and cultural relics. The itinerary also includes immersive experiences like intangible cultural heritage handicraft workshops, special home visits, and the Jiaohe Ancient City Concert. The pace is relaxed, with ample time allocated for each attraction, allowing passengers to enjoy a comfortable travel experience of “traveling by day, sleeping by night, and avoiding backtracking” without frequently changing accommodations or moving luggage.
This route starts from Chengdu or Lanzhou, first arriving at Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, then heading north to the Altay region to explore the primitive forests and alpine lakes of Hemu and Kanas. It then goes west to the Yili region to visit the natural scenery of Sayram Lake and Nalati Sky Grassland, before crossing the Tianshan Mountains via the Duku Highway into South Xinjiang to explore the cultural and natural landscapes of Kuqa and Kashgar. Finally, it returns via Turpan, covering most classic attractions in North and South Xinjiang without backtracking. Note that the Duku Highway is a seasonal road, typically open from mid-June to early October, with specific opening times determined by the year’s climate, mountain snow clearance, and road maintenance progress. The October 2nd departure, being close to the regular closure period, will cancel the Duku Highway-related segments. Passengers can choose their departure based on their travel time needs.
In 2026, Xinjiang’s cultural and tourism authorities have also issued travel tips for incoming visitors. Tourists must comply with scenic area regulations, avoid entering undeveloped areas, do not cross warning lines when viewing or taking photos, take away personal waste, follow fire prevention rules in forests and scenic areas, cooperate with staff guidance during extreme weather or temporary service measures, and contact the tour guide or scenic area staff immediately if issues arise. They can also call the 12345 tourism complaint hotline for inquiries or feedback. Xinjiang is vast with significant temperature differences between day and night; travelers should prepare appropriate warm clothing, sun protection, and common medications in advance, and confirm the latest travel preparation checklist with customer service before departure.
