Train Introduction:Redefining High-End Tourist Trains
The Splendid East Express is not a traditional ‘train’ in the conventional sense but rather a ‘mobile high-end hotel’ that integrates accommodation, dining, and entertainment. The entire train is recommended to have 18 carriages, with a strict passenger capacity of 66 people and 54 crew rest berths, ensuring a service density far exceeding that of ordinary trains. It is positioned as a ‘low-density, high-privacy, deep-experience’ tourist train, featuring a ‘daytime sightseeing, nighttime travel’ model—allowing for in-depth exploration of scenic spots during the day while the train travels at night, eliminating the fatigue of long-distance travel. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists and family groups who prioritize quality and comfort.
The train’s design blends Eastern aesthetics with modern technology, with carriages distinguished by ‘Panda Theme’ and ‘Han Style Theme.’ Features such as panoramic large windows, separate wet and dry bathrooms, and lounge sofas allow travelers to enjoy the warmth of ‘home’ during their journey. By 2027, this special train, having operated for many years, has become a ‘gold-standard’ option for tourism in northern and southern Xinjiang, thanks to its stable service and reputation.
Cabin Details:Luxurious Space, Attention to Detail
The Splendid East Express features 11 accommodation carriages throughout the train, each recommended to have 3 luxurious double rooms, covering approximately 13.8 square meters and accommodating 2 people. The cabins are equipped with convertible twin beds, a mini-fridge, a bathroom (with separate wet and dry areas), and panoramic windows. Some carriages also include crew rest areas, ensuring prompt service responses.
