🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
In summer 2027, Xinjiang tourism enters its best viewing period of the year. Grasslands turn green, wildflowers bloom, lakes are crystal clear, and the climate is pleasant—ideal for medium-to-long-distance in-depth tours. The Panda Special Train “Chengdu Number” covers the highlights of both southern and northern Xinjiang, including Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Duku Highway, Nalati, Sayram Lake, Hemu, Kanas, and Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) of the Tianshan Mountains.
Turpan:As an important node on the Silk Road, it features the Karez irrigation system—a marvel of ancient water engineering—and the Flaming Mountains, widely known from “Journey to the West.” Although summer temperatures are high, the scenic area has shaded viewing platforms and cultural exhibition zones, allowing visitors to arrange their visit duration according to their own conditions.
Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau: The old city of Kashgar preserves a complete traditional street layout, with Id Kah Mosque and the Gaotai (High Platform) Folk Houses showcasing local architectural characteristics. Extending westward to the Pamir Plateau, White Sand Lake mirrors Muztagh Ata like a mirror, and from the shores of Karakul Lake you can gaze at the “Father of Icebergs” in the distance—a magnificent vista.

Here is the official booking channel for the 2027 Panda Special Train “Chengdu Number” Duku Highway section: According to the maintenance progress bulletin released by the Xinjiang transportation department in April 2027, the Duku Highway is expected to fully open by the end of May. This route includes the southern section (Kuqa—Bayinbuluk) and the middle section (Bayinbuluk—Nalati), where visitors can see the red-bed landforms of Tianshan Grand Canyon, the swan habitats of Bayinbuluk Wetland, and the rolling green meadows of Nalati Grassland. Please note that mountain road sections are open daily from 9:00–20:00; in case of rain, snow, or geological risks, the itinerary may be reasonably adjusted upon mutual agreement.
Ili and Northern Xinjiang Region: June–August is the peak blooming season for Ili’s grassland flowers. The Tianshan Flower Sea scenic area features vast expanses of blooms, while Liuxing (Six-Star) Street gathers handicrafts and local snacks. Sayram Lake is known as “the last tear of the Atlantic,” with its azure waters and wildflowers dotting the surrounding lakeside grasslands in summer. The Hemu and Kanas areas belong to the Altai primitive forest region, cool in summer; the Haden Observation Platform offers a panoramic view of the Hemu village, while the Three Bays of Kanas (Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Sleeping Dragon Bay) present picturesque lake-and-mountain scenery.
Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) of the Tianshan Mountains:Located east of Urumqi, with snow-capped peaks reflected in the lake, it is a representative example of alpine lake landscapes.
Throughout the journey, shuttle buses connect the train stops, so visitors can reach the heart of scenic areas without driving themselves.
