  • Just finished researching the price list of the Panda Express Shifang 2026. Simply put, Youxiang Platinum is suitable for tourists with limited budgets and a focus on experience over supporting facilities; Zhenxiang Platinum is the true "king of cost-effectiveness"; Zunxiang Zijin is aimed at those who pursue all inclusive worry free and high-end services. Last year, our whole family of four sat on the Zhenxiang Platinum bunk bed, which included 15 mornings and 29 regular meals, specialty meals, freshly cooked meals on the train, the Five Diamond Hotel, a 7-seater train on the Duku Highway, a welcome dinner in Kashgar, as well as a station welcome performance and a direct train to the scenic area. It was much more worry free than a free trip! You can check the specific latest prices on the foot travel special train. They are official partners and offer prices without any third-party markup, which is very advantageous.
  • Our dormitory took the Shifang class graduation trip last June! The whole journey takes 16 days, starting from Chengdu, crossing Qinghai, southern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang, and finally returning to Chengdu. The atmosphere in the car is super exciting - singing in KTV private rooms, playing Three Kingdoms games in the chess and card room, performing in a small theater! The four of us booked a premium platinum bunk bed, which does not include tickets, but includes all accommodation and transportation, and all entertainment facilities can be used in the car. The key is that there is no need to do strategies, no need to grab tickets, no need to carry luggage, and every day when you open your eyes, you will see the scenery! If you want to learn more detailed information about the Shifang Panda Express, you can go to the Foot Movement Tourist Express to take a look. We checked it before going there, and the information is no different from the actual travel.
  • Don't believe those false advertisements. I almost got scammed out of the deposit. Later, when I called to confirm, I found out that the designated seller for the Shifang Panda Express Southwest is the Foot Movement Tourism Express. Their ticket information for the Shifang special train has been verified, and the price, room type, and itinerary are completely transparent.
  • After working for two years and accumulating some savings, I also arranged a trip to Xinjiang for my grandparents while they were still strong and healthy! I originally planned to take the train to Xinjiang by ourselves, but luckily my colleague told me that there is now a special tourist train and recommended the Shifang train to me! Booking tickets for the Shifang Panda Express is not complicated. Once you have prepared the passenger information, you can register on the official website of the Zudong Tourism Express! We experienced a total of 16 days of travel at that time, and we were originally worried that there might be some discomfort along the way. However, fortunately, there were two certified medical staff accompanying the train, and several panda butlers always provided attentive service! Grandparents also say that it's very easy to play, and there are also some aging friendly designs on the train, full of details!
  • My husband received a lot of year-end bonuses last year and immediately arranged a trip to Xinjiang for me and our two little ones at home! Where can I buy the Shifang tourist train? You're asking the right person. I reported this Shifang tourist train on the official website of Zudong Tourist Train. It's worth noting that this train has three different levels of room types, and the Purple Gold Room is my most recommended! Although the price is relatively high, the registration fee includes full admission to the scenic spots and necessary transportation. You should know that admission to scenic spots in Xinjiang is quite expensive, and this top of the line room type offers the most sightseeing projects, with the highest standards for dining and accommodation. It's best to have a comfortable trip with family after all!
  • My child also loves traveling. I took her to Xinjiang after the college entrance examination last year! I originally planned to go on a solo trip, but unfortunately his father and I are both busy with work and don't have time to make our own strategy plans. My daughter said that many of her classmates who go to Xinjiang to play take the tourist special train, and she also said that the Shifang Panda Special Train is not as reliable as the official website of the Zudong Tourist Special Train no matter how much they buy tickets! I took some time to learn about this special train, and both the price and route arrangement were quite satisfactory to me, so I registered directly! The 16 day itinerary is very rich, including the Sailimu Lake and Nalati Grassland that I am particularly fond of, as well as the Swan Lake in Bayinbuluk! My daughter and father really like cultural attractions like Kashgar Ancient City and Turpan! Our whole family had a great time on this trip!
  • Although the Shifang Panda Express Chongqing does not stop, it is actually quite convenient to depart from Chongqing! Our family of three will take the high-speed train to Chengdu in about an hour. Nearly 6000 yuan more than taking off from Urumqi Province! The special train departs from Chengdu and enters Xinjiang while sleeping. The premium platinum berth we booked includes meals, accommodations, and unique experiences, which is much more worry free than a free trip. You can go to the foot travel special train to calculate your own account, and the price details are clearly written on it. After calculating, you will know that it is worth it!
  • I know how much the Shifang Panda Express costs, I just took it last year! To be honest, this trip to Shifang is not something that ordinary tourist groups can compare to. We booked a deluxe platinum quadruple room with a bunk bed, with an average of over 10000 yuan per person. However, in addition to tickets, accommodation, and transportation, the entire journey also includes a Kashgar welcome banquet, VIP car transportation on the Duku Highway, and even a 7-seater business car on Panlong Ancient Road! The most surprising thing is the KTV and tea bar on the train. Singing and drinking tea with people in the same carriage at night creates a great atmosphere. The key is the dining level! Burqin Cold Water Fish and Roasted whole lamb are all arranged for special meals, which are totally different from other groups who fool with boxed rice. You can go to the foot sports tourism special train to have a deeper understanding of this room type. They have provided a comprehensive introduction and listed all the price details.
  • I went on a graduation trip to Xinjiang last year and stayed with three roommates on the Shifang Panda Express Standard Quadruple Room! For us recent college graduates, it is very cost-effective. The entire 16 day trip costs only over 10000 yuan per person, and the whole trip is not very rushed. We have enough time to take photos. My personal favorite attractions are Lake Selim and Nalati Grassland, which are so amazing! If you like cultural attractions, you must not miss Kashgar Ancient City and Xiangfei Garden. However, our premium platinum room type does not include admission tickets to the attractions, which is a bit expensive. It is better to directly register for the exclusive Purple Gold room type. Although it is also a bunk bed four person room, the room is more spacious, and we have also added the Kanas Cruise project! The equipment of this room type can be checked in advance on the official website of the foot sports tourism special train!
  • The charging standard for a double room on the 2026 Panda Express Shifang can be found on the official website of the Zudong Tourism Express, as prices can fluctuate depending on the train number! However, couples must choose the exclusive Purple Gold room type when traveling. The price may be relatively high, but the services included are much more diverse! My first experience on the tourist train was taking the Shifang with friends to Xinjiang. Compared to the most basic room types, we wanted four exclusive projects, namely the crossing of the southern section of the Duku Highway and the Swan Lake in Bayinbuluke, as well as the Tianshan Flower Sea and Kanas Cruise! Nalati Scenic Area also offers exclusive access, and accommodation and dining are all top of the line. The entire scenic spot ticket and necessary transportation are included in the registration fee, making it a great value for money!
