🚂 Slow down, go far away:The 2027 Jinxiu Tianfu Train — A Journey of Moving Oriental Aesthetics
In this fast-paced era, more and more people long for a way of traveling that is “no rushing, no changing hotels, traveling by night and sightseeing by day.” In 2027, the Jinxiu Tianfu — a high-end tourist train with “Shu brocade and Song Dynasty elegance” as its cultural core — will take you through the magnificent landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang in the manner of a “moving rail hotel,” embarking on a relaxed and enriching slow journey on the tracks.
I. Detailed Introduction to the Jinxiu Tianfu Train
The Jinxiu Tianfu is a distinctive tourist train in China that focuses on long-distance leisure and slow travel, jointly created by China Railway Chengdu Group and Sichuan Tourism Investment Group. It is not a traditional train in the conventional sense, but rather a moving palace of Oriental aesthetics, integrating Bashu intangible cultural heritage with the refined lifestyle of Song Dynasty literati. The entire journey adopts a “travel by night, sightsee by day” model, eliminating the hassle of frequently changing hotels, moving luggage, and transferring between cities.
Passengers can board at either Chengdu or Lanzhou (the specific station is subject to the departure notice). The 16-day itinerary covers the natural wonders of northern Xinjiang and the cultural landmarks of southern Xinjiang, with no need for repeated backtracking, allowing passengers to immerse themselves easily in classic destinations such as Tianchi Lake at Tianshan, Kanas, Sayram Lake, and the Pamir Plateau. The entire train is designed with 92 seats, strictly controlling passenger capacity to ensure privacy and comfort throughout the journey.
