🚂 【Panda Charter Train Chengdu号:A mobile cultural corridor crossing north and south of the Tianshan Mountains】🚂
As the train slowly pulls out of Chengdu Station, melodious Sichuan opera gong and drum sounds drift through the carriages, panda mascots weave through the aisles handing out lucky bags, and passengers sit around playing lantern riddle quizzes—this is no ordinary train, but the “Panda Charter Train Chengdu号,” blending cultural experiences with natural scenery. As China’s first tourist charter train themed around intangible cultural heritage, it uses 16 days to connect the highlights of the Silk Road and the Duku Highway, letting passengers experience beautiful Xinjiang within a moving “cultural museum.”
🌄 【Route Highlights:A Double Feast of Culture and Nature】
Mobile cultural space: Each carriage transforms into a cultural exhibition hall with a different theme. Passengers can experience interactive games such as Sichuan opera face-changing and “Darkness, Please Close Your Eyes,” or join Chinese chess and Gomoku challenge matches. The train attendants have all been trained by intangible cultural heritage inheritors and can explain the irrigation principles of the karez wells and the architectural secrets of the Id Kah Mosque.
Full traverse of the Duku Highway: In the excellent season of July–August, the charter train will travel along the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway, passing the winding Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of the Bayanbulak Grassland and witnessing the wonder of “four seasons in a day, different skies every ten li.” Recent road conditions in 2026 show that 3 new viewing platforms have been added along this section, equipped with professional photography guides.
In-depth ethnic experience: Visit the homes of families of all ethnic groups in Kashgar Old Town and learn the craft of making naan; experience traditional Tuvan wooden house construction in Hemu Village and taste horse meat sausage smoked with pine branches. According to 2026 data from Xinjiang Culture and Tourism, tourist satisfaction with such cultural experience programs reaches 92.3%.
Stargazing photography charter train:Each carriage has transparent stargazing windows on its roof and is equipped with professional astronomical telescopes. When the train stops at Beitun, passengers can photograph the Milky Way by the shore of Sayram Lake; summer 2026 is precisely the high-incidence period for meteor showers in this area.
