1️⃣ Budget-First Type:
If the total budget is within 80,000 RMB, it is recommended to choose the Zhengxiang Courtyard 4-person room (42,999 RMB × 2 people) or the Yuanxiang Pavilion combination (17,999 + 19,999 RMB). 2026 data shows this combination accounts for 42% of registrations, making it the most cost-effective choice.
2️⃣ Experience-First Type:
For family trips, the Xiaoxiang Suite is recommended (62,999 RMB × 3 people = 189,000 RMB). Although the unit price is higher, it includes dedicated butler service and priority disembarkation rights. The new “stargazing mode” added in 2026 allows the skylight to open for stargazing when crossing the Gobi at night.

Young people can choose a combination of the Yuanxiang Pavilion lower bunk + Zhengxiang Courtyard 2-person room, which controls costs while ensuring private space. In 2026, the special train features a dedicated “carriage social corner” to facilitate interaction among tourists on the same route.
