Tired of rushed, check-in-style travel? Want to fit Xinjiang’s snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and ancient cities into a leisurely journey? The newly upgraded 2026 Jinxiu Tianfu Panda Special Train might be the answer you’re looking for. It’s not an ordinary train, but a mobile living space with ‘Shu brocade and Song Dynasty elegance’ as its aesthetic core, slowly traveling across the Tianshan Mountains.
This 16-day journey lets you immerse yourself in scenic areas during the day and sleep peacefully in a stable carriage at night, with no need to move luggage throughout the trip, saving you the hassle of frequent hotel changes. Especially for families, friends traveling together, or those who prefer a slow-paced travel style, this ‘travel by night, explore by day’ model truly brings relaxation and poetry back to the journey.
🌄 Route highlights:More than just scenery — live within culture
The Jinxiu Tianfu was built by China Railway Chengdu Group, with an 18-car configuration and a recommended capacity of over a hundred passengers, offering ample personal space. The carriage design blends Shu brocade patterns, Song-style furniture, and modern smart facilities. Public areas include functional spaces such as the ‘Jinya Welcome Lobby,’ ‘Jinshi Sichuan Flavor Dining,’ and ‘Jinji Day-and-Night Lounge,’ complete with tea rooms, chess and card areas, and observation terraces.
Each cabin features a separate wet-dry bathroom, smart toilet, large panoramic window, mini fridge, and under-bed luggage storage. Two room types — the Jinta Luxury Double Room (13m², with a lounge area and private tea table) and the Jinwo Quality Double Room (10m², with twin beds that can be combined) — both ensure travel quality with high-level service.
Meals are prepared by star chefs, featuring Xinjiang specialties blended with light Sichuan cuisine to suit diverse tastes. A daily Xinjiang dried fruit gift box is included, along with trekking poles, binoculars, and other thoughtful equipment.
