Baiyun Hao train:The preferred plan for an 18-day immersive slow tour of North and South Xinjiang✨
Train positioning:A moving “five-star cultural驿站”
As China’s first luxury tourist train themed around Chinese scholarly elegance, the Baiyun Hao is designed with “low density, deep experience” as its core concept. The whole train is recommended to have 18 carriages and accommodate 92 tourists. Its uniqueness lies in the deep integration of traditional Chinese aesthetics with modern travel needs:The carriage interiors use intangible cultural heritage elements such as walnut wood, blue-and-white porcelain, and Su embroidery. Public areas include a welcome hall, themed dining room, sightseeing tea seats, and other functional spaces. The itinerary mode of moving accommodation at night and getting off the train for sightseeing during the day completely solves the pain point of repeatedly moving luggage in traditional travel.
