Train introduction:Redefining high-end railway travel
As China’s first all-train low-density high-end tourist train, the Splendid Orient Express is designed with the concept of a “mobile five-star hotel.” Its 18 carriages are recommended to accommodate 66 passengers, with 54 professional attendants assigned, achieving a superior service standard of 1:1.2. The train adopts a mode of touring by day and traveling by night, stopping at attractions for in-depth visits during the day and traveling at night to save time, allowing tourists to complete a 16-day loop trip through North and South Xinjiang in a comfortable environment.
The entire train is equipped with a central air-conditioning system, and vibration-damping and noise-reduction technology is used at the carriage connections, keeping noise during travel within 55 decibels. The intelligent temperature control system newly upgraded in 2025 can automatically adjust the carriage temperature to a comfortable range of 22-26°C. Each carriage is equipped with a fresh air system, with the entire train changing air 6 times per hour, striving to improve air circulation in plateau areas.
