🚂 I. Train positioning:A low-density high-end tourist train, redefining “slow travel”
The Splendid Orient Express is not an ordinary train, but a “moving high-end hotel.” The entire train is recommended to have 18 carriages, with passenger capacity strictly controlled at 66 people. The ratio of attendants to tourists is close to 1:1.2, with a service density far exceeding that of conventional tourist trains. Its core positioning is “sightseeing by day, traveling by night, in-depth experience”—immersive sightseeing at attractions during the day, resting while the train runs at night, avoiding the fatigue of long-distance bus rides. It is especially suitable for retired elderly people, tourists who cannot ride for long periods, or middle-to-high-end customers seeking quality.
🛏 ️ II. Compartment configuration:Private bathroom + panoramic windows, with details showcasing high-end quality
All 11 accommodation carriages of the entire train are luxury twin rooms, divided into two styles: panda theme and Han-style theme. Each room is about 13.8 square meters, with a configuration comparable to a high-end hotel:
