“What impressed me most about this special train is that it turned ‘rushing’ into ‘scenery viewing.'” Ms. Li, one of the first batch of participants in 2025, wrote in her travel journal, “While others were queuing at service areas, we sat on the observation deck drinking hot tea and watching the sunset; while self-driving tourists worried about finding hotels, we were already asleep on the smart mattresses of the special train.” This “slow travel” model may well be the classic pursuit of post-era tourists seeking in-depth experiences.
