A giant panda-themed tourist train was launched in Chengdu, southwest China’s Sichuan Province, and made its inaugural journey from Chengdu West Railway Station on April 18, offering tourists the opportunity to embark on a journey exploring the various picturesque scenes in Sichuan.
Introduced in 2021, the panda train tourism project features convenient travel from Chengdu to multiple destinations in Sichuan such as Emei, Xichang, and Panzhihua, as well as those outside of Sichuan in Guizhou Province, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Gansu Province, and Yunnan Province.
An official from the Sichuan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism disclosed that the development of additional premium tourist train projects is being expedited, aiming to establish a comprehensive tourism product system that encompasses both high-end and budget-friendly tourist trains.
