🚂 2027 Splendid Tianfu Panda Train pre-sale now open:A mobile cultural living room crossing the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
As the train slowly leaves the Chengdu Plain, the scenery outside the window gradually changes from the humid basin to the vast Gobi and snow-capped mountains—this is not an ordinary trip, but an in-depth journey centered on the railway, blending natural wonders and cultural experiences. In 2027, the “Splendid Tianfu” Panda Train (Duku Edition) will set off again, using the “Silk Road theme” as its thread to connect Xinjiang’s most representative scenic belts: from the forests and lakes of Altay, to the grasslands and flower seas of the Ili River Valley, and then to the vast snow peaks of the Pamir Plateau and the thousand-year-old streets of Kashgar Ancient City. This 16-day itinerary is not recommended merely as a geographical crossing, but as an immersive journey with a relaxed pace and refined service.
🌄 Destination highlights:More than scenery, it is about experience
Xinjiang is vast and its attractions are scattered. Traditional self-driving or bus tours often compress sightseeing time due to long distances. The “Splendid Tianfu” adopts the form of a high-end tourist train: during the day, tourists get off to explore in depth, and at night they rest in comfortable carriages, achieving “the train follows the people, and the scenery changes with every step.”
The itinerary covers high-quality ecological scenic areas such as Kanas and Hemu in the Altay region of northern Xinjiang; the middle section runs through the Duku Highway, known as “China’s most beautiful road”; and the southern end reaches Kashgar, visiting Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake on the eastern edge of the Pamir Plateau. Along the way, a number of special activities are arranged: such as a private Tuvan concert, visits to local Kazakh households, a wilderness kitchen dinner, exclusive tea breaks, and more, focusing on cultural interaction rather than hurried sightseeing.
It is worth noting that all routes offer three differentiated branch options: A, B, and C. Tourists can choose different paths within the same overall framework according to their interests. For example, in the Ili section, you can choose the classic combination of Sayram Lake + Nalati, or go deeper into Qiongkushitai or Xiata Ancient Road, meeting diverse needs such as photography, hiking, and folk customs.
At present (2026), Xinjiang’s cultural and tourism infrastructure is continuously improving, and the high-speed rail network has not yet covered the entire region. However, tourist trains, with their fixed schedules, exclusive carriages, and stable service, have become a reliable choice for long-distance in-depth travel. Especially for travelers who wish to balance comfort and a sense of exploration, such products provide a high-quality intermediate option between independent travel and group tours.
