🚂 [2027 North and South Xinjiang Luxury Train “Chengdu号”:A new panoramic cultural roaming experience]
🌄 [Route features:A double feast of culture and nature]
As a benchmark product for in-depth tours of North and South Xinjiang, the “Chengdu号” Panda Train takes “mobile cultural museum” as its design concept, deeply integrating Sichuan and Xinjiang culture. The entire train uses 7-55-seat luxury soft-seat carriages, equipped with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, charging ports, and constant-temperature air conditioning. Each carriage has a cultural display area exhibiting intangible cultural heritage items such as Shu embroidery and Atlas silk. The train specially features a “Sichuan-Xinjiang Cultural Interaction Cabin,” where tourists can experience intangible cultural heritage projects such as Sichuan opera face-changing and Muqam art of all ethnic groups; at night it transforms into a starry-sky cinema, showing documentaries such as “Silk Road” and “At the Foot of the Tianshan Mountains.”
The train passes through geographical dividing lines such as the Duku Highway and the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, linking 12 world-heritage-level landscapes including Turpan Grape Valley, Kashgar Old City, and the Pamir Plateau. The itinerary specially arranges a “mobile classroom,” with professors from Xinjiang University explaining Western Regions history on board, paired with remote连线 from Sichuan Museum experts interpreting the connection between Sanxingdui and Loulan civilization, creating an immersive experience of “travel ten thousand miles, read ten thousand books.”
