🚂 What kind of travel experience is it to move hotels, restaurants, KTV, and mahjong tables all onto the railway tracks?
In 2026, more and more tourists are choosing a ‘slow-paced’ way to deeply explore Xinjiang—visiting scenic spots during the day and sleeping in a moving luxury inn at night. The high-end tourist train ‘Shifang Panda Special Train,’ co-created by the railway system, is connecting the snowy mountains, lakes, grassland secrets, and historical cities of northern and southern Xinjiang with a ‘travel by day, rest by night, train follows people’ model.
📍 Detailed introduction to routes or destinations
The Shifang Panda Special Train is not just an ordinary means of transportation, but a ‘mobile resort space’ integrating accommodation, dining, entertainment, and medical care. The train has 17 carriages, a capacity of 466 seats, and a body dominated by Sanxingdui bronze green, blending panda badges and ancient Shu patterns. When traveling across the vast western region, it looks like a flowing cultural corridor.
The itinerary covers three major regions of Xinjiang:
Southern Xinjiang section:Kashgar Ancient City, Fragrant Concubine Garden,白沙湖, Karakul Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, Tashkurgan Stone City and Golden Grass Beach, experiencing the majestic mountains and rivers and human warmth of the Pamir Plateau;

Eastern Xinjiang section:Tianchi Lake of Tianshan, Turpan Karez Well and Flaming Mountain, experiencing oasis civilization and geological wonders.
The whole journey adopts a ‘travel by night, visit by day’ model, with daily travel time controlled within 4 hours, striving for 6–8 hours of in-depth sightseeing each day to avoid a superficial tour. It is especially suitable for families, middle-aged and elderly groups who value comfort, and tourists who want to reduce travel fatigue.
