Discover the “mobile five-star hotel” of Northern and Southern Xinjiang:In-depth experience on the Baiyun Hao Chinese-style themed special train
I. Train positioning: redefining high-end tourist special trains
As the country’s first luxury tourist special train themed around the “Chinese scholarly family,” the Baiyun Hao is designed with the core philosophy of “low density, deep experience, and full service.” The entire train is recommended to have 18 carriages and accommodate 92 tourists, equivalent to one-third of the passenger capacity of an ordinary special train, striving to give each passenger spacious public space and a private rest environment. The train adopts a “travel at night, tour during the day” model, so tourists do not need to repeatedly move their luggage; every night they sleep in a moving “five-star hotel,” and when they wake in the morning they have already arrived at a new destination.
The train has currently been in operation for 5 years (maiden voyage in 2022), and the carriages are well maintained. A comprehensive upgrade was completed in 2026, adding an intelligent temperature control system and sound insulation and noise reduction technology. The special train departs simultaneously from Guangzhou, Chongqing, and Lanzhou, covering the three major source markets of South China, Southwest China, and Northwest China, meeting the travel needs of tourists from different regions.
