According to media reports, a Jilin netizen posted a video saying,A family of 26 spent 960,000 yuan to travel to Xinjiang on the "Panda Express Anyi". The group included an 88-year-old man and two 2-year-old children.

The video pointed out that the meals presented in the travel agency's promotion were exquisitely presented, and each table was equipped with decorations corresponding to the "Panda" theme, but the actual meals of the tourists did not meet this standard. In response to this, the Chengdu travel agency involved stated that the exquisite meals displayed in the online video were actually props used in train press conferences and other occasions, and were not actual daily meals.
Travel agency staff further introduced that the "Panda Express Anyi" provides full catering services, including train meals and landing meals.For train meals, passengers in the lowest-grade "Panda Guige" room type enjoy box meals, while passengers in other room types are provided with table meals, usually five dishes, one soup and a piece of fruit.
