This train offers a new travel possibility for those seeking quality and experience.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights Introduction
The ‘Panda Train·Chengdu Number’ departs from dual starting points of Chengdu or Lanzhou, goes deep into South Xinjiang along the Golmud-Korla Railway, then returns to North Xinjiang, forming a golden loop without backtracking. The itinerary covers the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan, the bustling streets of Kashgar Old City, the snowy mountains and lakes of the Pamir Plateau, the vertical landscape belt of the Duku Highway, the vast greenery of the Nalati Grassland, the clear lake light of Sayram Lake, and the forest sea secrets of Hemu and Kanas, finally returning via Urumqi.
The train itself is a highlight: built to high star-rated hotel standards, it features room types like ‘Leisurely Residence’ and ‘Poetic Residence,’ and is equipped with lounge cars, dining cars, and entertainment cars. During the journey, you can participate in interactive activities like Sichuan opera face-changing, mahjong games, lantern riddles, and folk song gatherings, making the long trip fun.

It’s worth noting that scenic spots involved in the itinerary, such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Hemu, and the Duku Highway, are greatly affected by seasons and weather. According to 2026 public information, the Duku Highway is expected to open from mid-June to early October, with July–September being the optimal travel period; Tianshan Tianchi implements peak season ticket policies (April 1–October 31) and supports two-day valid entry.
