“Snow Country” tourist train:A mobile viewing platform for touring the northern ice and snow world
Train introduction:A “mobile viewing platform” designed specifically for ice and snow travel
The “Snow Country” tourist train is a newly upgraded ice and snow-themed tourist train for 2027, positioned around “slow travel and deep experience” and created specifically for travelers who long for the winter scenery of the north. The train uses fully enclosed temperature-controlled carriages equipped with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, viewing bars, and underfloor heating. Even when it is minus 20°C outside, the interior remains at a comfortable 22°C. The carriages also feature an ice and snow culture display area, showcasing traditional ice and snow tools and folk stories of various ethnic groups, allowing passengers to feel the warmth of culture during the journey.
The train route runs from eastern Inner Mongolia to northern Heilongjiang, connecting core winter scenic areas such as Arxan National Forest Park, Mohe Arctic Village, and Changbai Mountain Tianchi. The entire journey uses a “day tour, night travel” model—deep sightseeing at attractions during the day while the train runs at night, eliminating the fatigue of long-distance road travel. According to 2027 railway department data, the average winter snow depth along this route reaches 30 centimeters, making it a prime area for viewing rime ice, snowfields, and the aurora.
