“Splendid Orient Express”:A mobile high-end hotel crossing Southern and Northern Xinjiang, unlocking a new way to explore Xinjiang in depth
🚂 Train positioning:A low-density high-end tourist train, redefining the Xinjiang travel experience
Under the traditional tourist train model of “heavy on transport, light on experience,” the Splendid Orient Express positions itself as a “mobile high-end hotel,” focusing on the travel philosophy of “sightseeing by day, traveling by night, in-depth experience.” The full train is recommended to have 18 carriages, carrying 66 passengers, equipped with 54 crew rest berths, with the ratio of service staff to tourists as close as possible to 1:1.2, far exceeding ordinary trains in service density.
The train’s design breaks the inherent impression that “a train = a means of transportation,” integrating accommodation, dining, and entertainment functions into a one-stop travel space. By day, tourists enjoy in-depth sightseeing at destinations; by night, the train travels, saving the fatigue of long-distance bus rides, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly groups and tourists unable to ride for long periods.
🛏 ️Compartment configuration:Luxury double rooms + bathrooms, creating a “home on the train”
All 11 accommodation carriages of the full train are luxury double rooms, offering two style choices: panda theme and Han-style theme. Each compartment is about 13.8 square meters, equipped with twin beds that can be separated or combined, a reception sofa, a small refrigerator, panoramic large windows, and a dry-wet separated bathroom, with hardware standards benchmarked against five-star hotels.
The train departs from Chengdu, passing through Urumqi, Altay, Yining, Kuqa, Kashgar, and other places. Tourists can board in Chengdu and Urumqi (the specific boarding and alighting policy is subject to the contract). Regarding operating years, the train was newly put into operation in 2025, with newly configured carriage facilities, and its operational stability and comfort have been strictly tested.
