[Southern Train Baiyun: A new in-depth Xinjiang travel experience in 2027, unlocking the “mobile star-rated hotel” travel style]
Train Introduction:Redefining the light luxury experience of “train travel”
The Southern Train Baiyun is China’s first luxury tourist train themed around the “Chinese scholarly family.” Since entering operation in 2025, with its positioning of “low density, high comfort, and in-depth travel,” it has become a popular choice among middle-aged and elderly tourists and quality-seeking travelers. The whole train is recommended to have 18 carriages and 92 tourist seats, adopting a “travel at night, tour during the day” model. Tourists do not need to frequently move luggage and enjoy “mobile star-rated hotel” service throughout the journey.
The train takes “culture + travel” as its core, and the carriage design incorporates Chinese aesthetic elements such as wooden carved screens, ink-wash hanging paintings, and custom porcelain, paired with soft warm lighting to create a warm feeling of “home.” Public areas also feature functional spaces such as a welcome hall, themed restaurant, and sightseeing tea seats to meet tourists’ needs for socializing, dining, and leisure. Compared with traditional tourist trains, Baiyun places more emphasis on the concept of “slow travel,” with a relaxed itinerary pace, daily sightseeing time controlled at 6-8 hours, leaving ample rest time to avoid fatigue.
Compartment Details:Private bathroom + panoramic views, two room types meet diverse needs
All compartments on Baiyun are double-occupancy private rooms, each equipped with a dry-wet separated bathroom, providing 24-hour hot water, constant-temperature air conditioning, and a humidifier, striving for travel comfort. The specific room types are as follows:
