🚂 Slow Travel in the Western Regions, Scenery Moves with the Train — 2026 ‘Shifang · Panda Special Train’ 16-Day New Experience
Tired of dragging luggage between hotels, catching early buses, and constantly packing and unpacking? Why not try this moving vacation space — the Shifang · Panda Special Train. As a comfortable themed tourist train operating continuously in 2026, it combines transportation and accommodation, allowing you to explore scenic spots during the day and sleep soundly in a stable carriage at night, truly achieving ‘depart under the stars, wake up to the scenery.’
🌄 In-depth Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The ‘Shifang · Panda Special Train’ starts from Chengdu and traverses the core scenic areas of northern and southern Xinjiang, connecting four major geographical units: the Pamir Plateau, Tarim Basin, northern Tianshan Mountains, and Ili River Valley. The entire journey covers representative destinations such as Kashgar Old City, Baisha Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, the southern section of Duku Highway, Bayinbuluke Grassland, Nalati, Sayram Lake, Hemu Village, Kanas Lake, Colorful Beach, Tianshan Tianchi, and Turpan.
This route cleverly avoids the high-frequency check-in spots of regular tour groups, instead using small-group exclusive shuttle buses to explore relatively quiet areas like Bulunkou Lake, Karakul Lake, and Stone City. It also includes a 7-seat business car experience on Panlong Ancient Road and an in-depth traverse of the southern section of Duku Highway, enhancing privacy and comfort. The itinerary balances snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, deserts, and cultural ancient cities, showcasing Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and the blend of nature and culture.
The train adopts a ‘travel by day, sleep by night, train follows people’ model, reducing long-distance travel, making it especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly passengers and families seeking a relaxed pace and comprehensive service.
