🚂 2027 Splendid Tianfu Train:A “Mobile Oriental Aesthetic Space” Heading West
In the fast-paced era of travel, more and more people are beginning to yearn for a slow travel experience where “the train moves with the scenery and people are immersed in the picture.” Unlike the tight pace of traditional group tours or the fatigue of self-driving trips, the Splendid Tianfu Train, as a distinctive tourist train focused on long-distance leisure and slow travel in China, is redefining in-depth tours of Xinjiang with its “residential-style travel” approach.
I. Detailed Introduction to the Splendid Tianfu Train
The Splendid Tianfu Train is China’s first light-luxury tourist train that blends Bashu culture with western China’s natural scenery, focusing on a comfortable residential-style travel experience. It operates on a “travel by night, sightsee by day” model — passengers immerse themselves in scenic areas during the day and return to their private train compartments to rest at night, without the need to frequently change accommodations or endure the hassle of repacking luggage and transferring between cities.
This train is not a renovation of an ordinary green train; it is an immersive cultural space themed around “Shu brocade and Song Dynasty elegance.” The carriages incorporate Oriental aesthetic elements such as Suzhou embroidery screens, celadon tea sets, and Song Dynasty tea ceremonies. Even the dining car recreates the bustling street scenes from Along the River During the Qingming Festival, making the journey itself a moving cultural exhibition.
It is suitable for couples who value privacy, families seeking quality, and middle-aged and elderly travelers who wish to explore Xinjiang with ease without worrying about transportation and accommodation. The entire route spans northern and southern Xinjiang, connecting premium attractions such as Tianchi Lake at Tianshan Mountain, Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kashgar Old City, and the Pamir Plateau. The itinerary has a relaxed pace, with a recommended 4-6 hours of daily travel, leaving ample free time.
II. Seat Types, Hardware Configuration, and Advantages of the Splendid Tianfu Train
The Splendid Tianfu Train has 18 carriages in total, strictly limiting capacity to 92 seats to ensure every passenger enjoys a quiet and private travel environment. All compartments are equipped with private bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, underfloor heating, and premium toiletries, truly achieving the standard of a “mobile hotel.”
Two room types are currently available:
Jin Ta · Luxury Double Room (13㎡)
The space is divided by sheer fabric soft partitions, featuring a sleeping area and a reception area, equipped with Song-style sofas and tea tables, a mini refrigerator bar, and multifunctional storage cabinets. The beds are designed as twin beds that can be combined or separated, and the bathroom features a dry-wet separation design, making it ideal for two travelers seeking privacy and comfort.
Jin Wo · Quality Double Room (10㎡)
Decorated with Shu brocade and Song Dynasty elegance in a national aesthetic style, it features a foldable single sofa (which can be extended as an extra bed) to accommodate three travelers. Some compartments support convertible twin beds and come standard with bathrooms and custom furniture, making it an excellent choice that balances space and value.
Both room types feature a “one room, one bathroom” design, eliminating the hassle of queuing for public facilities. Passengers can complete washing, resting, and entertaining all within the compartment, greatly enhancing comfort on long journeys.
