✨ 【Yangtze River Delta Star Tourism Special Train:A Moving Observation Deck Through Majestic Landscapes】✨
🌄 Route Highlights:A Visual Feast Across China from East to West
The newly upgraded 2026 ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourism special train, designed with the concept of a ‘moving observation deck,’ connects two major geographic coordinates: Shanghai and Xinjiang. It passes through 12 distinctive cities including Korla, Kashgar, Tashkurgan, and Urumqi, covering four major landform types: desert, grassland, lake, and canyon. The train features panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing passengers to immerse themselves in the flowing scenery outside 24 hours a day—from the gentle elegance of Jiangnan water towns to the vast desolation of the northwestern desert. Over the 17-day journey, a different landscape unfolds each day.
🚂 Special Train Features:A Moving ‘Five-Star Station’
The train is equipped with a panoramic dining car, leisure reading lounge, KTV entertainment area, and medical room, with a dedicated steward for each carriage. Accommodation offers two options: four-person rooms and deluxe double rooms, both using low-noise shock-absorption technology to ensure smooth nighttime travel. The specially designed ‘Starry Sky Soft Sleeper’ cabin features an adjustable skylight on the ceiling, allowing passengers to view the Milky Way at night (advance reservation required).
