Train Introduction:A Mobile ‘Cultural Museum’
As the world’s first ‘Shu Brocade and Song Dynasty Charm’ themed tourist train, the Splendid Tianfu integrates the culture of Shu (Sichuan) with the Silk Road ambiance, following a design concept of ‘one carriage, one scene; one room, one unique item.’ The entire train consists of 18 carriages, with a recommended capacity of 92 seats. Operating under a ‘less is more’ model, it ensures each passenger enjoys spacious and private space. Throughout the carriages, displays of Shu brocade weaving techniques, Song Dynasty tea ceremony experience areas, and even a small cultural salon are available, earning it the title of a mobile ‘living museum of intangible cultural heritage.’
Positioned as a ‘high-end cultural slow travel train,’ it is designed for travelers seeking in-depth experiences. Unlike ordinary tourist trains, it adopts ‘land cruise’ service standards, equipped with a 24-hour butler team, an onboard doctor, and cultural lecturers.
