🚂 Train positioning:Redefining high-end tourist trains
The “Splendid Orient Express” is not a green-skinned train in the traditional sense, but a mobile high-end hotel with “low density and high privacy.” The whole 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. The service team includes a train captain, butlers, chefs, doctors, etc., providing “one price includes designated items within the itinerary” service. Its core positioning is “sightseeing by day, traveling by night”—deep sightseeing at attractions during the day, with the train running at night, saving long-distance transportation time. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly groups or tourists pursuing quality.
🛏 ️ Compartment configuration:“Mobile suites” with bathrooms + panoramic windows
All 11 accommodation carriages of the whole train are luxury double rooms, divided into two styles: panda theme and Han-style theme. Each room is about 13.8 square meters, with configurations comparable to high-end hotels:
Convertible twin beds (1.2 m × 2 m)
Reception sofa, small refrigerator
