[Splendid Orient Express:2027 Deep Journey through North and South Xinjiang, Unlock a New High-End Special Train Experience] 🚂✨
Train Introduction:Redefining the “Mobile High-End Hotel”
The Splendid Orient Express is a “low-density tourist train” specially built for high-end travelers. The whole train is recommended to have 18 carriages with a total passenger capacity of 66 people, yet it is equipped with 54 crew rest berths, achieving a service ratio of 1:1.2, which can be called “private butler-style” service. The train operates in a “tour by day, travel by night” mode, stopping at attractions for in-depth visits during the day and traveling at night to save time, allowing tourists to traverse 3,000 kilometers of mountains and rivers across North and South Xinjiang in comfort.
As one of the few special trains in China with a “designated project carriage system within the itinerary,” all guest rooms are luxury double-occupancy private compartments, equipped with separate wet and dry bathrooms, panoramic large windows, reception sofas, and mini refrigerators, with privacy and comfort far exceeding ordinary trains. The carriage design incorporates cultural elements such as panda themes and Han-style themes, and the public areas also feature a bar, chess and card room, SPA massage room, and performance area, making it worthy of being called a “mobile five-star hotel.”
