Route and Destination Details
The Jinxiu Tianfu Panda Special Train is a quality tourist train that just completed its maiden test ride in April 2026. It is jointly built by relevant units, with a Chinese-style “Shu Brocade Song Dynasty Charm” design theme, integrating panda elements and traditional aesthetics. Stepping into the carriage feels like entering a movable cultural and artistic space. The entire train has 18 carriages, including 2 luxury Jin Ta carriages, 10 quality Jin Wo carriages, as well as a multifunctional welcome carriage, a special dining car, and an entertainment sightseeing car, supported by a kitchen living car, a camping car, and a generator car to ensure full journey operation. The train is equipped with dual guides, a train butler, 24-hour baggage attendants, and onboard medical staff, so various needs during the journey can be promptly addressed.
This 16-day route covers the core landscape belt of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, including plateau lakes, snowy mountains and glaciers, grasslands and wetlands, ancient city culture, and Silk Road relics, paired with immersive activities such as cocktail parties, special afternoon tea, the Jiaohe Ancient City concert, and intangible cultural heritage handicraft experiences. The pace of play is relaxed and unhurried. Combined with the 2026 Xinjiang new scenic area opening policies, Kanas and Hemu have been fully open since May, with operating hours from 8:00 to 20:00 and shuttle buses running normally. During this period, the snow and ice are just melting, the lake water is blue, and the number of tourists is low, making it suitable for off-peak travel. Sayram Lake has been fully open since May, with ticket sales and self-driving entrance opening hours from 9:00 to 21:00. Wildflowers are blooming by the lake, and the scenery is pleasant with melting ice. Nalati Sky Grassland has been fully accessible since May, with opening hours from 8:30 to 20:00. The meadows are turning green, wildflowers are blooming in succession, and the lighting conditions are suitable for photo-taking. The Duku Highway is expected to open in mid-May 2026, allowing vehicles with 7 seats or fewer. The itinerary includes experience sections of the middle and southern parts of the Duku Highway. The October 2nd departure cancels the Duku Highway section due to seasonal reasons. Kashgar Old City is open 24 hours a year, with internal attractions open from 10:00 to 20:00, so there’s no need to rush when visiting the old city. Turpan’s Flaming Mountain and Karez Well are open year-round, with pleasant temperatures from May to September, not as hot as midsummer, making them suitable for sightseeing.

🎒 Travel Preparation Tips
Documents:Carry valid documents with you.

Documents such as student IDs and senior citizen IDs that can enjoy scenic spot ticket discounts are also recommended to be prepared in advance.
Clothing:Xinjiang has large temperature differences between day and night, and high-altitude scenic spots have lower temperatures in the morning and evening. It is recommended to dress in layers, preparing short sleeves, long-sleeved jackets, light down jackets, or windbreakers for easy adjustment.
Sun Protection and Daily Necessities:Xinjiang has strong ultraviolet rays. Prepare SPF50+ sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hats, and lip balm. Remote areas may have unstable signals, so it is advisable to prepare power banks and offline maps in advance. Common medicines such as gastrointestinal medicine, cold medicine, and anti-altitude sickness medicine are also recommended to be prepared in advance.
Others:Some remote area shops and gas stations may prefer cash payments, so it is advisable to have some cash on hand. Most scenic spots implement a real-name reservation system, and the travel agency will make reservations for travelers in advance. Just pay attention to receiving relevant notifications before departure.
