🚂 Slow Travel in Yunnan, Sleep Amidst the Scenery — ‘Kunming’ Tourist Train 2026 New Experience
Tired of rushing through attractions and crowded buses? Want to explore the heart of Yunnan in a more relaxed way? In 2026, the ‘Kunming’ tourist train, with its core concept of ‘travel by day, move by night, mobile vacation,’ has become a new choice for many families and elderly travelers exploring Yunnan. This train doesn’t pursue speed but gives time back to the journey itself — immerse in ancient cities, rainforests, tea mountains, and border towns during the day, and sleep soundly in the smoothly moving carriage at night, waking up to the next scenic spot.
As a themed tourist train approved by the railway department and operated by a professional travel agency, the ‘Kunming’ train has 16 carriages with a capacity of about 264 people. The train body features a golden peacock design, making it highly recognizable. The carriages have been specially modified to combine accommodation, dining, and cultural experiences, equipped with constant temperature air conditioning, humidifiers, emergency call systems, bedding at five-star hotel standards, and cleaning and disinfection every 2 hours to ensure comfort and hygiene during the journey.
The train offers two room types: Antu Enjoy Triple Room (about 12㎡, with separate wet and dry bathroom, multifunctional sofa bed) and Yutu Quality Quadruple Room (about 10㎡, with bunk beds with blackout curtains and USB charging ports, shared bathrooms at the ends of the carriage). All cabins use noise reduction technology, suitable for families or friends traveling together. Additionally, the train features a ‘Caiyun Dining Car’ offering Yunnan cuisine like cross-bridge rice noodles, steam pot chicken, and Pu’er tea feast, and a ‘Caiyun Multifunctional Carriage’ that serves as a dining area during the day and hosts intangible cultural heritage experiences like Jiama rubbing and Wacat DIY at night, adding cultural warmth to the journey beyond sightseeing.
