🚂 Tired of traveling to Xinjiang with kids, parents, or the whole family? Try this ‘mobile wellness homestay’ – the AnYi Panda Train
Xinjiang is vast, with attractions often hundreds of kilometers apart. Free travel requires frequent transfers and luggage handling, which is very unfriendly to the elderly and children. The AnYi Panda Train, launching in 2026, adopts a ‘one berth all the way, travel by day and sleep by night, luggage stays on board’ model, becoming a new choice for families to explore Xinjiang at a slow pace. It’s not an ordinary train but a themed cultural tourism train integrating accommodation, transportation, dining, and guided tours, especially suitable for three-generation trips, parent-child outings, or group travel for the elderly.
📍 Route Highlights:Visit the core attractions of northern and southern Xinjiang in one trip, with a relaxed pace and no rushing
The AnYi itinerary covers northern Xinjiang’s lakes and grasslands, the Ili River Valley, southern Xinjiang’s ancient cities and plateaus, and eastern Xinjiang’s unique landforms. Over 16 days, it connects classic destinations like Tianshan Tianchi Lake, Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kashgar Old City, and Turpan’s Grape Valley.
According to the latest 2026 scenic area opening information:
Kanas Lake cruise operating hours are 9:00–18:30, fully open from May;
During Sayram Lake’s peak season (May 1–October 15), private cars are banned from the lake road, but the train’s partner shuttle buses can enter via a reservation channel to ensure smooth sightseeing;
