Mobile star-rated hotel:The entire train uses soft-sleeper carriages, with 3-5 compartments recommended per carriage. The space is spacious and equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, humidifiers, and 24-hour hot water, reducing the hassle of frequently moving luggage.

Slow-paced design:Daily travel time does not exceed 4 hours, with ample time at attractions to avoid fatigue from rushing. For example, 2 days are arranged for Kanas Scenic Area, and a full day of free activity is reserved in Hemu Village.
Age-friendly services:Boarding assistance, luggage handling, and priority restaurant arrangements are provided throughout the journey. Meals are mainly light and easy to digest, taking into account the dietary preferences of various ethnic groups.
