In the fast-paced era of travel, more and more tourists are yearning for an immersive experience of ‘not rushing, just sightseeing.’ In 2026, the ‘Ease’ Panda Special Train, using a combination of railway and road transport, creates a 16-day cultural slow-travel route across southern and northern Xinjiang. During the day, delve deep into lakes, grasslands, canyons, and ancient cities; at night, return to the moving comfortable carriage to rest, truly achieving ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people are in the picture.’
🌄 Detailed Introduction to the Route and Destinations
The ‘Ease’ special train spans across the Tianshan Mountains, connecting the natural wonders of northern Xinjiang with the cultural landscapes of southern Xinjiang. The journey starts from Urumqi, with the first stop visiting Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain, known as the ‘Jade Pool,’ where the lake is as blue as a mirror, reflecting the snowy mountains, beautiful in all seasons.
Then enter the hinterland of the Altai Mountains and visit Hemu Village — one of the best-preserved primitive villages in China, where wooden houses and birch forests in the morning mist form a serene picture. Next, arrive at Kanas Lake, take a boat tour, and climb the Fish Viewing Platform to experience the mystery and grandeur of the alpine lake.
Moving to the Ili River Valley, the azure lake surface of Sayram Lake is known as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean,’ and a tour around the lake is refreshing; the Nalati Grassland spreads out like an endless green carpet, with cattle and sheep leisurely grazing and faint pastoral songs, typical alpine meadow scenery.
In the southern Xinjiang section, the train passes through the southern section of the Duku Highway, traversing the Tianshan Canyon landscape, and visits the geological wonder of the Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon; upon arriving in Kashgar, stroll through the old city streets and high-platform dwellings to feel the historical depth of this important city on the ancient Silk Road.
