🚂 [New Trend of Slow Travel] Explore Xinjiang on a ‘Mobile Star Hotel’ — 16-Day Deep Tour on the Shifang Panda Train
In today’s fast-paced travel, more and more people are yearning for a ‘slow down’ way of traveling: no need to catch early flights, no need to drag luggage to change hotels, open the window to see the scenery, and turn around to enjoy the aroma of tea and laughter. In 2026, the 16-day Shifang Panda Train tour, starting from Chengdu and covering the highlights of both southern and northern Xinjiang, is becoming a new choice for many tourists to explore Xinjiang with its unique train living experience.
🌄 Route and Destination Introduction
The Shifang Panda Train is not an ordinary tourist train, but a high-end themed tourist train that integrates accommodation, dining, entertainment, and sightseeing. It departs from Chengdu, enters Xinjiang via Lanzhou, traverses the ancient city of Kashgar in southern Xinjiang, the Pamir Plateau,白沙湖 (Baisha Lake), and the Panlong Ancient Road, then heads north along the Duku Highway, passing through the Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Hemu Village, and Kanas Lake, finally arriving in Urumqi, and returning via Turpan. The entire journey covers the most representative natural and cultural landscapes on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, balancing magnificent mountains and rivers with historical heritage.
The train design integrates modern comfort and cultural elements. The carriages are named ‘Zunxiang Zijing’ (Premium Purple Gold) and ‘Zhenxiang Bojin’ (Premium Platinum). It is not recommended to be equipped with bathrooms, TVs, or charging ports, but it also features KTV, a tea bar, a cigar bar, and a mahjong area, making the journey itself an enjoyment. Outside the window is a flowing picture scroll, and inside the window is a warm ‘home’, truly realizing ‘the car moves with the scenery, and people travel within the painting’.
Please note that due to objective factors such as weather, traffic, and scenic area opening policies, the itinerary details may be reasonably changed with mutual agreement to ensure a smooth overall experience.
