🚂 [Panda Train · Chengdu号:A poetic journey through Xinjiang by train] 🌄
When the charming panda elements meet the vast and magnificent scenery of Xinjiang, when the liveliness of Sichuan opera face-changing and the boldness of Western Region song and dance collide and spark, this panda-themed tourist train named “Chengdu号” is redefining Xinjiang travel in a unique way. As a star route of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, this train will launch seven itineraries starting from June 2026, leading tourists across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, experiencing the wondrous climate of “wear a fur coat in the morning and gauze at noon,” and witnessing the magnificent geographical wonder of “three mountains flanking two basins.”
🌈 Route highlights:A moving “cultural living room” and “scenic corridor”
Unlike traditional tourist trains, “Chengdu号” innovatively creates a “mobile cultural space.” The carriages are not recommended to have panda-themed decorations, and are further integrated with rich Sichuan-Chongqing cultural elements: the daily evening Sichuan opera face-changing performance lets tourists feel the charm of intangible cultural heritage amid the swaying train; in the “Panda Brings Blessings” interactive segment, staff dressed in panda mascot costumes give tourists special Xinjiang gifts; and fun activities such as “Close Your Eyes When It Gets Dark” and “Chess Challenge” fill the long journey with laughter and joy.
The train adopts a “move by day, stop by night” mode, stopping at major attractions during the day and traveling at night to save time. The entire train uses soft-sleeper carriages, with each compartment equipped with a bathroom, charging ports, and viewing windows, striving for travel comfort. The specially designed “viewing carriage” uses panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and is equipped with high-powered telescopes and photography guidance services, so tourists do not miss any fleeting beautiful scenery.

👩💼 The route designer says
“This route embodies my ten years of experience leading tours in Xinjiang.” Introduced Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency. “We deliberately avoid the July-August tourism peak and arrange more departures in June and September. At this time, Xinjiang is not recommended to have fewer tourists, and you can also see the grapes ripening in Turpan and the autumn colors gradually dyeing Kanas.”
As a native Xinjiang local, Wang Fei knows the road conditions of north and south Xinjiang like the back of her hand: “The Duku Highway is recommended to be open for 5 months each year. We specially arrange the Bayanbulak-Nalati section during the opening period, allowing tourists to experience the wonder of ‘seeing four seasons in one day and different weather every ten miles’ by self-driving. For tourists worried about altitude sickness, we will equip portable oxygen cylinders on the Pamir Plateau itinerary and arrange an adaptation route with gradually increasing altitude.”
