Lindu Express:A mobile castle unlocking the ice-and-snow journey of Northeast China 🚂
I. A Mobile Ice-and-Snow Castle: Redefining the Premium Travel Experience
Across the vast snowfields of Northeast China, a luxury special train named “Lindu” is overturning traditional ways of travel. This “mobile castle,” composed of 15 carriages, integrates a full chain of services including accommodation, dining, and entertainment, and further creates an immersive ice-and-snow vacation experience with the concept of “slow travel.”
The entire train is recommended to have only 60 seats, yet it is equipped with 7 functional carriages: from a Michelin-standard Chinese restaurant to a jazz bar, from a tea room to a children’s playroom, and even a medical room. This “small but refined” design allows passengers to enjoy five-star service during the 9-day, 8-night itinerary without frequently changing hotels.
