I. Train positioning: redefining the light-luxury experience of “train travel”
The Splendor of the East is not a “green-skinned train” in the traditional sense, but a “moving light-luxury hotel.” With “daytime sightseeing, nighttime travel” as its core concept, it takes tourists deep into the hidden treasures of northern and southern Xinjiang during the day and completes the journey between cities at night, saving the fatigue of long-distance travel. The whole train is recommended to have 66 seats and is equipped with 11 luxury double-occupancy living carriages. Each guest room has a dry-wet separated bathroom and panoramic large windows, with privacy and comfort comparable to high-end hotels. The train also has public spaces such as a restaurant, bar, SPA massage room, and performance area, meeting diverse needs for dining, entertainment, and socializing. It can be called a “resort complex on wheels.”
