❄ ️【Route Highlights:A Moving Ice and Snow Feast】
While ordinary trains are still proud of upgrading from hard seats to sleeper berths, the “Lindu Express” in the winter of 2026 has already revolutionized the concept of train travel — this luxury train, named after Yichun, the “Forest Capital,” packages a five-star hotel, Northeast Chinese cuisine, and ice-and-snow experiences into a 9-day, 8-night mobile vacation. The entire train features 36 guest rooms with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, underfloor heating, private bathrooms, and even a cigar bar, a reading lounge with views, and a KTV entertainment area — truly a “land cruise sailing across the snowfields.”
