🚂 [New train tour experience:Panda Train “Chengdu” Southern and Northern Xinjiang In-Depth Tour Full Guide]
🌄 [Route highlights:A mobile “cultural living room”]
The Panda Train “Chengdu” takes “mobile cultural scenes” as its core design concept, integrating Sichuan opera, tea art, intangible cultural heritage experiences and other Bashu cultural elements into the train space. The whole train uses 7-55 seat models, equipped with viewing windows, multi-functional activity cabins and 24-hour butler service. Each carriage has a cultural display area and regularly holds “Tianfu Culture Mini Classes.” When the train passes through scenic belts such as the Duku Highway and the Pamir Plateau, themed commentary will be carried out in combination with the scenery outside the window, allowing tourists to enjoy an immersive experience of “the window as a picture frame” while on the move.
