🚂 【Train Positioning:Low-Density, High-End Mobile Vacation Space】
The Splendid East Express is not a traditional ‘train’ but a mobile vacation carrier designed with the concept of ‘daytime sightseeing and nighttime travel.’ The entire train is recommended to have 66 seats, equipped with 11 sleeping carriages, 2 dining carriages, and multi-functional entertainment carriages. The per capita activity space far exceeds that of ordinary special trains. Its core customer base targets high-net-worth individuals seeking privacy and in-depth experiences, particularly suitable for retired seniors, families with children, and travelers with high demands for long-distance travel comfort.
The train adopts a design that includes ‘en-suite bathrooms for specified itinerary items.’ All guest rooms are equipped with panoramic large windows, convertible twin beds, living room sofas, and mini-fridges. The bathroom system supports 24-hour hot water supply. Public areas include a bar, chess and card room, SPA massage room, and performance area. At night, you can watch performances featuring ethnic characteristics, while during the day, you can enjoy leisure activities such as tea art and chess and cards. This ‘hotel + transportation’ integrated model allows travelers to avoid frequent changes of accommodation during long-distance travel, truly achieving ‘play upon arrival, rest upon boarding.’
