🚂 “A Moving Vacation Space”:2026 Shifang Panda Special Train 16-Day Tour: Depart from Chengdu for a Slow Journey Through Southern and Northern Xinjiang
Tired of the traditional travel rhythm of constantly changing hotels, dragging luggage, and rushing through attractions? Why not try this comfortable train that ‘moves’—the Shifang Panda Special Train. It combines transportation and accommodation into one, allowing you to explore scenic spots during the day and sleep soundly in a smoothly running carriage at night, truly realizing an immersive experience of ‘the train moves with you, and the scenery shifts with the train.’ As a special tourist train operating continuously in 2026, the Shifang starts from Chengdu and connects the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang, suitable for travelers who want a deep, slow journey while valuing comfort.
🌄 Route Highlights:A Panoramic Journey Across Southern and Northern Xinjiang
The 16-day itinerary of the Shifang Panda Special Train covers the scenery of Kashgar, Taxkorgan, and the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang, as well as the grasslands and lakes of the Ili River Valley and Altay region in Northern Xinjiang, with no backtracking along the way. Along the route, you can enjoy the clarity of Baisha Lake, the winding Panlong Ancient Road, the grandeur of the southern section of the Duku Highway, the azure blue of Sayram Lake, the autumn colors of Hemu and Kanas (also lush green in summer), the tranquility of Tianshan Tianchi Lake, and the Flaming Mountain wonder of the Turpan Basin. The train passes through multiple geographical and climatic zones with diverse landscapes, including plateau lakes, Gobi oases, snowy mountains, and grasslands, making it a ‘condensed scroll’ of Xinjiang’s natural beauty.
It is worth mentioning that the train specially arranges a visit to Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County (referred to as ‘Taxian’), exploring the ancient Stone City and Golden Grass Beach, and experiencing local home visits to enhance understanding of the lives of various ethnic groups in the border region (specific arrangements are subject to the actual itinerary).
