Yes. Payment is accepted by PayPal, SWIFT bank transfer, UnionPay, Alipay, WeChat Pay and China UnionPay QuickPass.
I hold a foreign passport or a Hong Kong / Macau / Taiwan permit. Can I join?
Yes. Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan guests follow the same itinerary as mainland guests. On some Xinjiang routes, passport holders cannot enter certain sections and an alternative is arranged. Tell us your travel document when you enquire.
Is it suitable for older travellers?
Yes — your cabin travels with you, so there are fewer hotel changes. Most itineraries ask guests over 70 for a recent health report, guests over 75 to travel with a family member, and some do not accept guests over 80.
Is Zudong the train operator?
No. Zudong is a brand of Chongqing Zudong International Travel Service Co., Ltd., a licensed travel agency. In March 2026 it obtained agency rights for Panda Train · Chengdu, Panda Train · Anyi, Panda Train · Shifang, Jinxiu Tianfu.
