The Panda Tourism Train is a high-end boutique tourism train operated by China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd., with a design theme of ‘pandas’, offering various themed travel experiences.
The exterior and interior decorations of the Panda Tourism Train, as well as various details, fully display regional cultural characteristics through various forms. These trains have successively operated from Chengdu to places such as Emei, Xichang, Panzhihua, as well as Guizhou, Xinjiang, Gansu, Yunnan, and other regions, providing passengers with a rich variety of travel options.
During the journey, the Panda Tourism Train not only provides a comfortable riding environment but also incorporates rich cultural activities. For example, on the ‘Panda Celebrates in Xichang’ special train, passengers can enjoy cultural performances such as Sichuan Opera face-changing and intangible cultural heritage hand-cut paper art, and also participate in interactive activities such as Yi people’s hand-painted lacquer painting, experiencing the New Year customs of different regions.
In addition, the Panda Tourism Train has been carefully crafted according to different themes. For example, the Shifang ‘Panda Train’ is positioned as a comfortable silver-haired tourism train, upgraded and transformed in terms of functionality, comfort, and rationality according to tourist demands, and is equipped with professional ‘Panda Butlers’ to improve one-stop services covering ‘eating, living, traveling, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment’. Multiple carriages with different functions have also been created within the train, including the Mazu·Four-berth Carriage, Yinghua·Soft Sleeper Carriage, Shigu·Multi-functional Carriage, and Yongcheng·Dining Car, to meet the needs of different passengers.
In general, the Panda Tourism Train has become a new trend among Chinese travelers due to its unique design, personalized service, and customized travel experience.
