🚂 【2027 Panda Special Train · Chengdu No. North-South Xinjiang Panoramic Special Train Pre-sale Opens | Group Schedule Preview】
As the train slowly leaves the basin, crossing the Gobi, grasslands, and snow-capped mountains, the scenery outside the window unfolds like a scroll—this North-South Xinjiang panoramic special train journey, centered on “slow travel,” is redefining in-depth Xinjiang tourism through immersive experiences. In the summer of 2027, the “Chengdu No.” panda-themed tourist special train will set off again, connecting the heat of Turpan, the vibrant life of Kashgar, the clarity of the Pamirs, the grandeur of the Duku Highway, and the secret autumn scenery of Kanas in northern Xinjiang. The full journey lasts 16 days and 15 nights, condensing Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes and cultural attractions into a moving “home.”
🌄 Detailed Introduction to the Route and Destinations
The “Chengdu No.” special train is not a traditional train sightseeing experience, but a mobile resort space integrating transportation, accommodation, dining, and entertainment. The carriages have been specially modified, equipped with viewing compartments, public activity areas, and themed cultural interaction sessions, making the journey itself part of the experience.
The itinerary covers the core scenic areas of both southern and northern Xinjiang:From the Karez irrigation wisdom at the foot of the Flaming Mountains to the mirror-like reflections of White Sand Lake and Muztagh Ata Peak on the Pamir Plateau; from the vibrant life in the winding alleys of Kashgar Old City to the geological wonders of the southern and middle sections of the Duku Highway where one can experience all four seasons in a single day; then through Bayanbulak Swan Lake Wetland and Nalati Sky Grassland, finally arriving at the azure waters of Sayram Lake and Kanas Lake. The Russian-style charm of Yining’s Six-Star Street, the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village, the snow-capped peak reflections of Heavenly Lake Tianshan… each stop carries the natural rhythm of different regions of Xinjiang.
It is worth noting that the Duku Highway is expected to fully open from late May to early June 2027 (subject to the official announcement from the transportation department that year), and all group departures for this route are scheduled between June and September, coinciding with the highway’s opening window and the peak season of blooming grasslands and flowers. The climate is pleasant, vegetation is lush, and fruits are fragrant—this is the best time of year for in-depth exploration.
