2027 Dahezhinan:A New Mobile Vacation Experience Across North and South Xinjiang
🚂 Train positioning:A mobile “five-star resort hotel”
The Dahezhinan special train is not an ordinary green-skinned train, but a “mobile vacation carrier” designed specifically for in-depth travel in Xinjiang. The entire train adopts a “double-connected carriage structure,” integrating accommodation, dining, and entertainment functions into the same train, reducing the hassle of transfers. After the 2026 upgrade, the train is equipped with bathroom systems, silent noise-reduction technology, and constant-temperature air conditioning. Even when crossing the Gobi Desert, the carriage can maintain a comfortable temperature of 22-25°C.
The biggest highlight of the train is “bathrooms throughout the train,” which is relatively rare among domestic special trains. Each carriage is equipped with a dedicated cleaner who cleans regularly every day, addressing hygiene concerns during long-distance travel. The multi-function carriage has an audio-visual area, card and board tables, and karaoke equipment, so passengers can enjoy the scenery outside the window while participating in activities.
🛏 ️Compartment configuration:Full-scenario coverage from economy to high-end
The entire train offers three types of compartments, all equipped with bathrooms:

2027 Dahezhinan: A New Mobile Vacation Experience Across North and South XinjiangFour-person room:Area 7.2㎡, containing 4 beds of 0.7×1.95 meters, suitable for families or friends traveling together.

Triple room:Area 7.2㎡, containing 3 beds of 0.7×1.95 meters, a cost-effective choice, with per-person space similar to the four-person room.
