As a classic long-route product of the Panda Train 3.0 version, it uses the railway as a link to connect over a dozen distinctive attractions in northern and southern Xinjiang, while incorporating immersive experiences with Sichuan and Chongqing characteristics, making the journey itself part of the fun.
Detailed Route Introduction
The ‘Chengdu’ train is equipped with various functional areas including different types of guest rooms, an entertainment car, and a dining car. The guest rooms come in two types: ‘You Ran Ju’ and ‘Shi Yi Ju,’ catering to the accommodation needs of different travelers. The interiors feature non-heritage elements like Shu brocade and bamboo weaving. During the trip, you can also enjoy Sichuan-style specialty dining and themed interactive activities, ensuring you don’t miss out on experiencing Tianfu culture while on the move. The train operates on a ‘day-tour, night-travel’ model: during the day, passengers disembark at stops to visit attractions, while at night, the train moves smoothly, eliminating the need to pack luggage and change accommodations daily. This saves time and energy compared to conventional land-based group tours, offering higher comfort and making it ideal for family trips or group outings with friends.
The entire route spans northern and southern Xinjiang, covering both the cultural relics and plateau lakes of southern Xinjiang and the grasslands, forests, and geological wonders of northern Xinjiang. The 16-day itinerary has a relaxed pace, so you don’t need to rush from dawn to dusk. Along the way, you’ll see Turpan’s unique arid landscape and the ancient Karez irrigation system, the clear lakes and snow-capped mountains of the Pamir Plateau, the traditional architecture of Kashgar’s old city, the varied mountain scenery along the Duku Highway, the vast meadows of Nalati Grassland, the expansive surface of Sayram Lake, the natural village scenery of Hemu, the iconic Three Bays of Kanas, and the lake and mountain views of Heavenly Lake Tianshan. Different types of natural and cultural landscapes unfold in sequence, allowing you to visit representative attractions of northern and southern Xinjiang in one go without backtracking.
Based on the 2026 travel tips from the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism, Xinjiang is vast with significant temperature differences between regions. Before traveling, prepare clothing suitable for different temperatures, follow scenic area regulations, do not cross warning lines, and take your trash with you to help maintain the ecological environment. If you encounter issues during the trip, contact the tour leader or call the 12345 tourism complaint hotline for assistance.
