I. Detailed Introduction to the Splendid Orient Express Special Train
The Splendid Orient Express is a representative of China’s high-end long-distance tourist special trains, focusing on a “low density, high privacy, deep experience” residential-style travel mode. The entire train is recommended to have 18 carriages, with passenger capacity strictly controlled at 66 people, yet equipped with 54 exclusive berths for attendants, a service ratio far exceeding conventional tourist trains. Its core highlight lies in the “day tour, night travel” mode — deep exploration of the landscapes of the Western Regions by day, and rest in a moving light-luxury palace by night, with no need to change hotels or move luggage throughout the journey, completely bidding farewell to the rush and crowding of traditional travel. The special train takes national-style aesthetics as its design mainline, integrating themed elements such as panda national style and elegant Han style into the carriages, blending classical charm with modern comfort, creating a “high-end resort community on wheels” for travelers pursuing quality.
