🚂 “Chengdu” Panda Train:A 16-day slow journey spanning Bashu and the Western Regions
As the train slowly departs from the Land of Abundance, the scenery outside the window shifts from the green mountains of Qingcheng to the snowy peaks of the Tianshan Mountains. This journey is not just a geographical crossing but an immersive travel experience. In 2026, the “Chengdu” Panda Train continues with the concept of a ‘mobile high-end living space,’ connecting the core scenic areas of northern and southern Xinjiang—from the Flaming Mountains in Turpan to the autumn waters and skies of Kanas, from the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway to the blue mirror of Sayram Lake. The entire journey adopts a ‘travel by day, rest by night’ model, allowing for a relaxed pace.
This is not an ordinary train but a customized tourist train integrating intangible cultural heritage, smart facilities, and senior-friendly services. The carriages have eliminated traditional bunk beds, featuring all private compartments; public areas include a dining car, tea room, entertainment car, and Wi-Fi coverage. Each trip is equipped with a ‘Panda Butler,’ professional guides, onboard medical staff, and a chef team, providing 24-hour service support, with special attention to the comfort and needs of middle-aged and elderly passengers. Inside the train, nearly 60 intangible cultural heritage works such as Shu brocade and Shu embroidery are displayed, making it feel like a moving cultural exhibition hall.
