Our story
Rooted in Bashu, expressed in motion
GOLDEN PANDA EXPRESS draws on Bashu culture and the Eastern art of welcome. Rather than recreating a historic interior, it uses contemporary materials, proportion and function to let culture live naturally within a comfortable rail journey.
The train is more than a way to reach a distant place. It is a moving setting for culture, landscape and human connection.

A clear balance of privacy and openness, quiet and gathering, supports the changing needs of a long-distance stay.
