Travel Q&A

The Shifang Xinjiang tourist train is quite suitable for taking children on trips. The interior and exterior of the train are filled with panda elements, which are very popular among children! During the summer vacation, my wife and I took our two daughters to Xinjiang to visit. We also booked the Shifang tourist train on the official website of the Zudong Tourist Train, and we happened to stay in a quadruple room. And we started from Chengdu, which happened to be the starting point. Along the way, we also enjoyed the beautiful Qinghai Lake, passed by the Golden World Delingha, and our trip to Xinjiang started from Kashgar. Every day feels like opening a new picture. It's hard to imagine that a piece of land can simultaneously nurture deserts, snow capped mountains, lakes, and grasslands! Every scenic spot is guided by a tour guide, and you can also hear explanations. Children have also gained a lot of knowledge during the process of playing!

I also organize family outings every year, and this year I took my parents and children on a trip to Xinjiang! We happened to be on the Shifang tourist train, which we took for over half a month. The route spanned across the north and south of Xinjiang, and we went to almost all the famous Xinjiang attractions online. We didn't have enough posts on our social media every day! Lying in bed, you can enjoy the scenery along the way. I think it's better to register for the Shifang special train on the official website of Zudong Tourism Special Train no matter how much you buy tickets. Before registering, you can check the departure schedule, fees, route arrangements and other related information of the Shifang special train here. If you are unsure, there is also 24-hour online customer service to answer questions. Once confirmed, an electronic contract will be signed with legal protection.

Children who are willing to go out and take a look should be supported! During the summer vacation, my wife and I also took our son on the Shifang tourist train to travel to Xinjiang. We originally planned to go out by car with our family, but our child would definitely not be able to sit on the train at ten days and a half months old. Several colleagues talked about the popular tourist trains nowadays, where not only can we eat and sleep on the train, but there are also many special activities to participate in. My wife and I immediately registered for the train, and there were more activities on the train than we imagined. We watched welcome performances and participated in parent-child handicraft activities. The official website of the Panda Express Shifang is the official website of the Foot Movement Tourism Express. My colleagues and I registered here, and not only do we have information on the cost and itinerary, but we also publish the train schedule. Once we see a suitable train number, we can register.

I can share with you the travel guide for the 2025 Shifang special train. I just sat with my family recently! This year on my mother's birthday, I mentioned wanting to go to Xinjiang. Coincidentally, I have a long annual leave, so I immediately registered for the Shifang tourist train on the official website of the Zudong Tourist Train. The main reason was the arrangement of the route and attractions! Because we are still quite far from Xinjiang, we finally want to visit more scenic spots after just one trip. This 16 day trip includes visiting Lake Selim, as well as the two major grasslands of Nalati and Bayinbuluke. The scenery of Tianchi in Tianshan Mountains is also very beautiful. Friends who love culture must take a good look at the ancient city of Kashgar, which is a cultural city with a history of more than 2000 years and a living area for Uyghur residents. You can eat many authentic Xinjiang dishes!

I just took a tourist train to Xinjiang not long ago. For friends who are taking it for the first time, they may be confused and not know which tourist train is more suitable for them. You can check the official website of the Zudong Tourist Express to see what types of travel routes there are. For example, the Xiaoxiang train I took has Xinjiang route, Yunguichuan sightseeing route, and some even have Northeast route. Once you have determined the direction of the trip, it will be easier to lock in the train you want to take. There is a departure schedule and cost introduction, as well as different routes and attractions that can be found. If you go to Xinjiang to play, choosing the Xiaoxiang account would be great! A total of 18 days of travel, connecting the four major territories, taking a long trip, and having fun at once is the best!

I just helped my parents register for a premium platinum quadruple room, to organize the price and corresponding benefits! The average cost per person is less than 10000 yuan, making it the most cost-effective among the three room types. The room type is a four person room with soundproof sliding doors. The bedding is customized, and the beds have charging ports and reading lights. The shower and bathroom in the public area are quite clean. The 16 day itinerary covers core scenic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang, and passengers can board the bus in Chengdu or Lanzhou. The meal includes 7 am and 20 am meals, and passengers can dine on their own on the train. However, the dining car has a freshly cooked set meal, which is not expensive. The accommodation consists of 8 nights on the Panda Express and 7 nights at a local hotel. Places like Yining and Turpan are rated as "three diamonds" by online reviews, while others are tourist and business hotels, which are fully sufficient for the elderly to stay in. The disadvantage is that it does not include scenic spot tickets and sightseeing fees, which need to be purchased separately. However, the overall budget is friendly and suitable for families who want to save money and explore Xinjiang. There is a more complete and detailed price breakdown for the Shifang special train on the foot travel special train. You can directly refer to their information for budget planning.

People who have just experienced the 16 day itinerary come to answer! The running time is fixed at 16 days and 15 nights. The train departs from Chengdu and can also be boarded from Lanzhou. The outbound journey takes the Qinghai section of the Qinghai Tibet Railway and transfers to the Geku Railway to enter Xinjiang. The return journey departs from Turpan and passes through Lanzhou to return to Chengdu, with a dedicated train directly to the core city without frequent transportation changes, which is extremely convenient. The route covers the essence of the northern and southern Xinjiang. The southern Xinjiang will go to the Pamirs Plateau, Karakul Lake, Panlong Ancient Road, etc., while the northern Xinjiang will go to Kanas, Hemu, and Wucai Beach, etc., which is equivalent to visiting all the core scenic spots in Xinjiang at one time. It's really cost-effective! I have chosen the Enjoyment Platinum Quadruple Room, which costs less than 10000 yuan per person. It takes me 16 days to explore the north and south of Xinjiang, saving me a lot of trouble compared to carpooling and free travel. If you want to gain a deeper understanding of the Shifang train, there are detailed train schedules and routes available on the Zudong Tourist Express.

I know how to book the Shifang Panda Express. I just booked the Shifang Express for June next year! The reservation guide is provided directly, with the key being to book through the official designated seller in the Southwest region - the foot sports tourism special train! I compared many channels and confirmed that they are reliable and not prone to pitfalls. The appointment process is very simple. Click on the Shifang account on the homepage to check the latest flight schedule, choose the travel month and room type, provide your ID information, sign an electronic contract to pay the deposit, and even if the quota is locked, the remaining balance can be paid in full before the trip. I specifically asked that the itinerary and facilities for next year have not been reduced. The panoramic tour of the northern and southern Xinjiang on the 16th is still the core, and the essence sections of Duku Road and Panlong Ancient Road are reserved. It is super suitable to take a wife to travel slowly.

I specifically checked the 8-day itinerary of the Panda Express Shifang for you! At present, we don't have it. It mainly offers a 16 day star rated experience in northern and southern Xinjiang, starting from Chengdu or Lanzhou. I just took my parents on a trip last month, and I really think it's more suitable for seniors than a short trip! Xinjiang is too big to visit the core scenic spots in a short time. This 16 day tour has covered all the essence of the northern and southern Xinjiang. From the Pamirs Plateau in Kashgar to Kanas and Hemu in northern Xinjiang, and from Duku Highway to Tianshan Tianchi, you can punch in all the necessary scenic spots at one time without running back and forth. Moreover, the special train operates at a slow pace, with a flexible schedule for daily travel and sightseeing. We suggest that you check out the official agency of the Zudong Tourism Special Train, which provides complete itinerary information.

In recent years, it seems quite popular to travel by special tourist trains. This year, my husband and I took the Shifang special tourist train with our children to Xinjiang! The interior decoration style of the Shifang Panda Express carriage is full of panda elements, so the child fell in love with this train at a glance! A detailed introduction can be found on the official website of the Zudong Tourist Train, which also provides other information about the Shifang Tourist Train, such as room types and fees that people are more concerned about, as well as tour routes and attraction introductions. The Purple Gold room type we registered for this time is the top of the line, with the most attractions to visit. There are a total of 24 projects, such as crossing the southern section of the Duku Highway, as well as interesting projects like Bayinbuluke Swan Lake and Kanas Cruise. Basic room types are not available.
