🚂 When mentioning Xinjiang, many people picture a blend of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and lakes. To see all these landscapes in a limited time, the mode of transportation is crucial. In recent years, special tourist trains featuring ‘all soft sleepers, departing in the evening and arriving in the morning’ have become a new choice for many exploring Xinjiang, with the ‘New National Train’ being a highly regarded route.
🛏 ️ What is a ‘New-style Soft Sleeper’?
To understand the experience of the ‘New National Train’, you first need to know what a new-style soft sleeper is.
Compartment, Private and Quiet
Soft sleeper cars are usually composed of multiple compartments, each with a door that blocks corridor noise, offering relatively private space. Standard soft sleepers are mostly 4-person compartments (upper and lower berths), while high-end soft sleepers offer 2-person or even single-person compartments for better privacy.
Comfort Upgrade, Fully Equipped
New-style soft sleeper berths are wider and longer than hard sleepers, with thicker mattresses, pillows, and quilts. Compartments typically include a foldable small table, reading light, coat hooks, and luggage rack. Corridors and compartments generally have 220V charging sockets for phones, cameras, and other devices.
Hygienic and Convenient, Better Experience
The car has toilets with a seat and shared washing areas, with convenient hot water supply. Some new special trains also widen and lengthen berths, add handrails for elderly-friendly modifications, and optimize soundproofing and shock absorption to improve nighttime rest quality.
> Simply put, a new-style soft sleeper car is like a ‘mobile quiet little room’ where you can sleep and rest while enjoying the scenery, balancing comfort and efficiency for long journeys.
🌟 How is the ‘New National Train’s’ new-style soft sleeper different?
