Youxiang Longjiang Snow Country high-end tourism Northeast special train:Unlock the unique romance of winter in Northeast China
Train introduction:A mobile “five-star resort hotel”
“Youxiang Longjiang Snow Country” is a high-end tourist train specially designed for in-depth experience of Northeast China’s ice and snow culture. After a comprehensive upgrade in 2026, it is positioned around “slow travel, deep experience,” featuring a worry-free model of “no need to change berths throughout the journey, luggage follows the train, and services include designated items in the itinerary.” The train features all soft sleeper configuration, with interiors crafted by a professional designer team, blending Northeast folk elements with modern comfort. From carriage decoration to service details, everything revolves around “warmth, privacy, and convenience,” making it worthy of being called a mobile “five-star resort hotel.”
This train is especially suitable for quality-seeking tourists, especially retired seniors, families with children, or tourists who cannot ride in cars for long periods. It overturns the traditional tourist train model of “rushing on the road as the main focus, sightseeing as supplementary,” truly turning “travel” into a “vacation”—immersive sightseeing at attractions during the day, returning to the train to rest at night, avoiding the bumps of long-distance buses and the hassle of repeatedly moving luggage, truly achieving the relaxed experience of “resting on the train, playing off the train.”
Compartment introduction:Details reveal quality
The train has 10 platinum carriages in total, each with 10 four-person soft sleeper compartments, with a capacity of 4 people per room (upper and lower berths). Each compartment covers 3.8 square meters, spacious and not oppressive. The berth size is 700*1800mm, with an elevated upper berth space so adults can sit up without hitting their heads; the lower berth is raised, allowing a 28-inch large suitcase to be stored underneath, completely solving the luggage storage problem.
The compartment configuration can be called “luxurious”:
Retractable and extendable small table:Meets dining, working, and entertainment needs;
6 USB charging ports:Charging spot for each person, eliminating the worry of “fighting over outlets”;
Reading light + ambient light:Night reading without disturbing others, creating a warm atmosphere;

The bathroom spaces all use anti-slip floor tiles and heating systems, remaining warm and comfortable even in winter, especially suitable for couples, close friends, or family travel, with strong privacy.
