I. Detailed Introduction to the Splendid Orient Express Special Train: Redefining High-End Travel and Accommodation
The Splendid Orient Express is one of the few domestic national-style themed tourist special trains focusing on “low density and deep experience,” designed specifically for travelers pursuing quality and privacy. After a brand-new upgrade in 2027, the entire train is recommended to have 18 carriages, with a recommended full load of 66 tourists, yet equipped with 54 exclusive berths for attendants — a service ratio that can be called an industry benchmark. Its core highlight lies in the “tour by day, travel by night” model — deep sightseeing of core landscapes in North and South Xinjiang during the day, while at night the special train transforms into a mobile palace, eliminating the need to frequently change hotels or move luggage, truly achieving an immersive experience of “living within the scenery, with the scenery moving as the wheels turn.”
The special train takes “national-style aesthetics” as its design主线, incorporating themed elements such as panda national style and elegant Han style into the carriages. From the embroidery patterns on the reception sofas to the mortise-and-tenon decorations on the viewing windows, Eastern charm is displayed everywhere. The itinerary covers premium areas of North and South Xinjiang such as Urumqi, Altay, Ili, and Kashgar, connecting diverse landforms including grasslands, glaciers, canyons, and ancient roads, balancing natural scenery and cultural exploration to meet the in-depth needs of different travelers.
