🚂 If you have already seen too many conventional introductions to the “Panda Train,” this time we will take a different angle, starting with “why it is suitable to be called the ‘Tianfu'” and then following this route to explain the departure information, itinerary highlights, and registration method all at once.
🐼 Splendid Tianfu:A mobile “Tianfu cultural living room”
When many people first hear “Panda Train · Splendid Tianfu,” they think it is just a “luxury train to Xinjiang.” But with a little background knowledge, you will find that it is more like a mobile cultural living room departing from Sichuan and heading to the Western Regions.
Jointly created by:Jointly created by China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. and Sichuan Tourism Investment Group.
Design theme:With “Shu brocade and Song elegance” as the core, integrating panda elements and Song Dynasty aesthetics, the carriages themselves are a small cultural art gallery.
Hardware configuration:The entire train has 18 carriages, including different room types such as “Jin Ta” luxury enjoyment and “Jin Wo” quality, as well as a dining car, entertainment and sightseeing car, multi-functional welcome carriage, etc., balancing travel quality and privacy.
Service team:The train is equipped with dual tour guides, train butlers, 24-hour luggage attendants, and medical staff. The overall service ratio is relatively outstanding among similar products.
Simply put, it retains the comfort and sense of ceremony一贯 of the “Panda Train,” while through the “Shu brocade + Song elegance” design, it brings Sichuan’s aesthetics to the entire North and South Xinjiang route.
🗺 ️ One route connecting the essence of North and South Xinjiang
The current flagship route of Splendid Tianfu is a 16-day panoramic North and South Xinjiang route. It departs from Chengdu or Lanzhou and heads west all the way, almost “stringing together” Xinjiang’s representative landscapes into one line:
Northern Xinjiang scenery:Urumqi, Tianshan Tianchi, Beitun, Hemu, Kanas, Burqin, covering grasslands, lakes, forests, and river valleys.
Ili Valley:Sayram Lake and Nalati Sky Grassland are synonymous with “Xinjiang summer” in many people’s minds.
Southern Xinjiang culture:Kuqa, Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon, Kashgar, and the Taxkorgan direction (Baisha Lake, Muztagh Ata, Karakul Lake), the Pamir Plateau, bringing canyons, ancient cities, and plateau scenery together in one trip.
Fireland charm:Turpan’s Flaming Mountains, Karez Wells, and Jiaohe Ancient City bring the journey to a lively and culturally rich finale.

🚂 If you have already seen too many conventional introductions to the “Panda Train,” this time we will take a different angle, starting with “why it is suitable to be called the ‘Tianfu'” and then following this route to explain the departure information, itinerary highlights, and registration method all at once.The design logic of this route is very clear: use the train to solve long-distance transportation and leave more time for ground sightseeing and experiences. During the day, enjoy in-depth visits at scenic areas; at night, return to the special train to rest, dine, and socialize; arrive at the next stop early the next morning. For tourists who want “less hassle and more scenery,” this model is much easier.
