🚂 Train Positioning:Redefining High-End Tourist Trains
The Splendid East Express is not a traditional ‘green train’ but a ‘mobile five-star hotel’ that integrates accommodation, dining, entertainment, and sightseeing. The entire train is recommended to have 66 seats, featuring an 18-car low-density design. All guest rooms are double occupancy with separate wet and dry bathrooms, panoramic large windows, and intelligent temperature control systems. The train operates in a ‘daytime sightseeing, nighttime travel’ mode, allowing for in-depth exploration of scenic spots during the day and saving time by traveling at night, freeing tourists from the fatigue of long-distance travel.
As Xinjiang’s first high-end tourist train, it precisely serves middle-aged and elderly tourists and family groups who pursue quality and comfort. The train’s design incorporates elements from various ethnic cultures, from panda-themed to Han-style compartment decorations, from tea bars in the carriages to ethnic performances in the entertainment area, everywhere reflecting the deep integration of ‘culture + tourism.’
