In 2027, the “Chengdu No.” Panda Special Train continues to offer travelers who seek comfort and in-depth experiences a brand-new choice in the form of a “mobile resort hotel.” This train is not an ordinary train but a walking five-star living space — the entire journey lasts 16 days, with no need to frequently move luggage. Daily onshore sightseeing is controlled to 4-6 hours, and the rest of the time can be spent resting, enjoying entertainment, or participating in cultural activities in the carriage. The pace is relaxed, making it especially suitable for families who value travel quality, friends traveling together, and middle-aged and elderly groups.
