We started our journey in Chengdu, the vibrant capital of Sichuan province, with a visit to the famous Panda Sanctuary. Home to China’s beloved giant pandas, this special place offers a rare chance to see these gentle animals up close in a natural and well-protected environment. Pandas are not only the national animal of China, but also a proud symbol of Sichuan, where the majority of the world’s panda population lives. Visiting the sanctuary felt like the perfect way to begin our journey, connecting us to the region’s culture, nature, and deep commitment to conservation.

After visiting the pandas we eventually boarded the train. It was our first experience to this luxury train and we were truly overwhelmed. The room was just amazing, large, well equipped, nice bathroom with Japanese toilet and much more. 

The train has 18 carriages of which 12 are for passengers. There is one restaurant carriage, and two entertainement carriages with Majiang tables, Tea room and Karaoke room.

At the sanctuary, we were able to observe pandas up close as they relaxed, played, and enjoyed their favorite activity—eating bamboo. The peaceful surroundings and well-designed enclosures make it clear how much effort goes into panda conservation, research, and education. Visiting the panda sanctuary is a truly special experience and a must-see when in Chengdu, offering a deeper understanding of why these gentle animals are so deeply cherished in Chinese culture.

Location: 1375 Xiongmao Blvd, Chenghua District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China, 610016

It’s best to take a taxi to one of the main gates. There is no direct metro connection yet.
