Full Panoramic Sightseeing Car:The viewing windows are significantly enlarged, paired with high-back soft seats. Whether crossing the canyons of the Duku Highway or passing the grasslands by Sayram Lake, the scenery outside the window is fully in view.
In addition, the entire train is equipped with a smart housekeeper system, supporting touch screen or voice control of lighting, air conditioning, and volume, as well as one-touch call for attendants, providing a convenient and intelligent living experience.
🛤 ️ Smoother Operation:Optimized for Xinjiang’s Sand and Wind Environment

Even when crossing the Gobi or plateau sections, the carriage remains quiet and stable, effectively reducing bumpiness, especially suitable for travelers with lower tolerance for overland transportation.
