🚂 “Chengdu” Panda Special Train:A mobile journey across Sichuan, Gansu, and Xinjiang,直达Kanas
If you have ever imagined—gazing at Muztagh Ata from the Pamir Plateau during the day, sleeping soundly on a smoothly running train at night; waking up in the morning to the blue waters of Sayram Lake outside your window; strolling through Hemu Village in the afternoon, then returning to the carriage for a hot dinner in the evening… then the “Chengdu” Panda Special Train might just be the travel style you are looking for.
This high-end tourist train, created by the integration of railway and cultural tourism, is not a traditional train but a “moving resort hotel.” It adopts a “day tour, night travel” model—exploring destinations in depth during the day and resting in comfortable carriages at night, eliminating the hassle of frequently changing hotels and moving luggage, allowing the journey to truly return to relaxation and immersion.
🌄 Route Highlights:From the Land of Abundance to the mysterious Western Regions, see the best of northern and southern Xinjiang in one trip
The 16-day itinerary of the “Chengdu” Panda Special Train connects the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of western China. From the Flaming Mountains and Karez in Turpan, to the vibrant atmosphere of Kashgar Old City; from the White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, to the Bayanbulak Swan Lake along the Duku Highway; then through Nalati Grassland, Sayram Lake, Hemu, and Kanas, finally reaching Heavenly Lake Tianshan—the entire journey covers deserts, snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, ancient cities, and more, making it a condensed panoramic loop of Xinjiang.
It is worth noting that this route supports multiple boarding points. According to the latest 2026 operational arrangements, passengers can depart from Chengdu or choose to board in Lanzhou, making it convenient for tourists in the northwest region. The train passes through the edge of Gansu and Qinghai, goes deep into southern Xinjiang along the Golmud-Korla Railway, then heads north to the Ili River Valley, and finally returns to Urumqi, forming a closed loop.
