🚂 I. Detailed Introduction to the Splendid Orient Express Special Train
The Splendid Orient Express is a representative of domestic high-end customized tourist special trains, positioned around “low density, high privacy, and in-depth travel,” designed specifically for travelers pursuing quality and experience. Its operating model adopts a “day touring, night traveling” mode — during the day, in-depth tours of core scenic areas in North and South Xinjiang; at night, the special train travels to the next destination. Throughout the journey, there is no need to change hotels or move luggage, truly realizing a “mobile light-luxury traveling palace” experience.
The entire special train has 18 carriages and is recommended to accommodate 66 tourists, equipped with 54 dedicated berths for attendants, with a service ratio of 1:1.2, far exceeding regular tour groups. The carriage design integrates two major themes: panda Chinese style and elegant Han style. From accommodation to dining, everything is based on “Chinese-style aesthetics,” creating an immersive cultural travel scene. The 2027 route covers highlights of North and South Xinjiang such as Urumqi, Altay, Ili, and Kashgar, with an itinerary lasting up to 16 days, suitable for travelers with ample time who prefer in-depth travel.
