The Chengdu No. Panda Tourist Train is a themed cultural tourism train created by China Railway Chengdu Group. It was decorated with the participation of a top design team.

The entire train consists of 18 carriages, including 12 private room carriages, 2 multi-function entertainment carriages, 2 themed dining carriages, 1 crew carriage, and 1 power generation carriage, with a total of 54 rooms and a rated capacity of 108 passengers. The overall positioning is a high-end slow-travel train, focusing on long-distance travel in Xinjiang. With the design of a mobile luxury hotel, it weakens the fatigue of long-distance travel, connecting multiple core scenic areas in Gansu and Xinjiang, achieving a travel experience of the train following the scenery and traveling at night while sightseeing during the day. There is no need to transfer to other transportation throughout the journey, and luggage can be kept in the exclusive private room at all times, reducing the burden of travel. As of 2026, the train has been in operation for 2 years and remains in good condition. 2027 will be its third year of operation, and various service configurations have also completed iterative upgrades suitable for long-distance travel.
