“Splendid Tianfu” 2027 Panoramic North and South Xinjiang Journey:A mobile “five-star hotel” opens a new deep-travel experience
Train positioning:A mobile “five-star cultural space”
As the world’s first “Shu Brocade and Song Elegance” themed tourist train, Splendid Tianfu takes “cultural immersion + high-end service” as its core positioning. The entire train has 18 carriages with a recommended 92 seats, and per-capita space far exceeds that of ordinary trains. Its design inspiration comes from Shu brocade weaving techniques and Song Dynasty aesthetics. Shu brocade pattern decorations and Song-style furniture are seen throughout the carriages, and even the tableware uses custom celadon pieces. The train is not recommended as merely transportation, but also as a mobile “cultural exhibition hall”—each carriage is equipped with a professional guide, and interactive activities such as Shu brocade weaving experiences and Song Dynasty tea ceremony demonstrations are held regularly, allowing travelers to feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture during the journey.
The train adopts a “all soft sleeper + bathroom” configuration. All compartments are equipped with underfloor heating, fresh air systems, and intelligent temperature control equipment, striving to keep travelers as comfortable as spring even in the large temperature differences between North and South Xinjiang. Sound-absorbing carpets are laid in the carriage corridors, emergency call buttons are set by the beds, and a doctor is on duty on the train 24 hours a day, providing all-round support for middle-aged and elderly travelers.
Compartment configuration:A balance between private space and functionality
Splendid Tianfu offers two main compartment types, both using a “one price includes designated items within the itinerary” model, including full-board meals, attraction tickets, and exclusive activities:

Suitable for:Middle-aged and elderly travelers pursuing quality and comfort
Splendid Tianfu mainly targets retired people over 50 years old, as well as tourists who cannot ride in cars for long periods (such as those with inconvenient waist and legs or carsickness). Its “slow travel + deep travel” model allows travelers to fully enjoy the scenery of North and South Xinjiang without affecting health due to excessive physical exertion. In addition, the train has rich cultural activities and is suitable for travelers who like socializing and making new friends.
Reasons for popularity:Dual guarantee of reputation and quality
Since its inaugural departure in 2027, Splendid Tianfu has become a popular choice among Xinjiang tourist trains thanks to its “cultural immersion + high-end service” model. Traveler feedback shows that its “one price includes designated items within the itinerary” model saves the trouble of booking tickets and hotels by oneself; the “dual tour leader” service makes the journey more reassuring; and the cultural activities on the dedicated train add fun to the trip. A traveler who participated in the May departure commented: “This train made me rediscover Xinjiang—it is not recommended only for the scenery, but also for the culture. The service details are very well done, and even the restroom is equipped with disposable seat covers, which is very thoughtful.”
