[Baiyun Hao Train:Launching a new 18-day slow travel experience across North and South Xinjiang]
🚂 Train positioning:A mobile “Chinese-style scholarly hotel”
The country’s first luxury tourist train themed around a “Chinese-style scholarly family”—the Baiyun Hao—overturns the traditional train travel model and excellently integrates “low-density travel” with “in-depth cultural experiences.” The entire train is recommended to have 18 carriages and accommodate 92 tourists, equivalent to a recommended service ratio of 5-6 people per carriage, offering extremely strong privacy. At night the train travels slowly while tourists sleep peacefully in their compartments; by day they disembark to visit attractions after arrival, with no need to carry luggage throughout the entire trip, truly achieving the comfortable experience of “in-depth touring by day, mobile accommodation by night.”
🏨 Compartment configuration:Private bathroom + panoramic views, with quality reflected in every detail
The entire Baiyun Hao consists of double-occupancy compartments, each equipped with a dry-wet separated bathroom, completely ending the awkwardness of the “public shower room” on traditional special trains. The compartments fall into two major types:
Yunqi · Lanyue Luxury Twin Room (approx. 13.8㎡):The entire train is recommended to have a small number of high-end room types, spacious and equipped with a reception sofa, mini fridge, and large viewing window; the twin beds can be combined into a 2-meter king bed, suitable for families or tourists seeking superior comfort.
Yunqi · Yayun Quality Twin Room (approx. 10㎡):The value-for-money choice; the twin beds can be separated or combined, with a full set of amenities including a bathroom, small fridge, and viewing window, while Chinese-style national aesthetic interiors create a warm atmosphere.
