🚂 High-end special train ‘Chengdu’ for the Northern and Southern Xinjiang loop:A 16-day mobile slow travel experience
In an era of increasingly fast-paced travel, more and more people are rethinking the meaning of travel—not about checking in and rushing, but about immersive experiences. In 2026, the ‘Chengdu’ panda-themed tourist special train enters Xinjiang as a ‘mobile cultural space,’ blending the leisurely aesthetics of Sichuan with the diverse landscapes of the Western Regions, creating a new way of deep travel: explore scenic spots lightly during the day, sleep soundly in your private cabin at night, without moving luggage or changing hotels throughout the trip, truly realizing ‘making the train your home and keeping the scenery outside the window.’
🌄 Detailed introduction to the route and destinations
The ‘Chengdu’ 16-day full loop of Northern and Southern Xinjiang is a carefully designed deep travel route, covering approximately 8,000 kilometers, spanning three major regions: Eastern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, and Northern Xinjiang, connecting diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, deserts, canyons, and ancient cities.
The journey starts in Turpan, exploring the ancient water conservancy wonder of Karez and the unique landscape of the Flaming Mountains; delves into Kashgar to experience the cultural atmosphere of the millennia-old city; crosses the Pamir Plateau, overlooking the majestic snow-capped Muztagh Ata from白沙湖 and Karakul Lake; heads north along the Duku Highway, passing through the Tianshan Grand Canyon, Bayinbuluke Swan Lake, and Nalati Sky Grassland, with ever-changing vertical landscapes; then to Sayram Lake, Hemu Village, and the three bays of Kanas (Moon Bay, Immortal Bay, and Wolong Bay), finally concluding with the lake and mountain scenery of Tianchi Lake on Tianshan.
The entire route adopts a ‘travel by night, explore by day’ model: concentrate on sightseeing during the day, while the train runs smoothly at night, saving time and ensuring rest quality. It is especially suitable for travelers who value comfort and prefer a slow pace, including middle-aged and elderly groups and family travelers.
