Train Introduction:Redefining High-End Rail Travel
As the first domestic high-end tourist train with low-density carriages, the Splendid East Express is designed as a ‘mobile five-star hotel.’ Its 18 carriages can accommodate 66 passengers, staffed by 54 professional attendants, achieving a superior service standard of 1 attendant per 1.2 passengers. The train operates on a daytime sightseeing and nighttime travel schedule, allowing for in-depth exploration of attractions during the day and saving time by traveling at night, enabling travelers to complete a 16-day loop tour of northern and southern Xinjiang in comfort.
The entire train is equipped with a central air conditioning system, and the connections between carriages feature shock absorption and noise reduction technology, keeping noise levels below 55 decibels during travel. The 2025 newly upgraded intelligent temperature control system automatically adjusts the carriage temperature to a comfortable range of 22-26°C. Each carriage is equipped with a fresh air system, ventilating the entire train six times per hour to ensure air circulation in high-altitude areas.
