2. Family travelers: Tourist trains offer multiple cabin options (such as soft sleeper and hard sleeper), allowing families to share a compartment, balancing comfort and privacy.
3. Photography enthusiasts: Tourist trains often schedule arrivals at scenic spots in the early morning or evening, avoiding peak crowds and facilitating shots of sunrises, starry skies, and other special scenes.
4. Travelers with limited budgets but seeking experiences: The train fare includes transportation, accommodation, and some meals, offering better value than independent travel without the need to plan the itinerary yourself.
