The entire train adopts bathroom design and is equipped with audio-visual systems, chess and card rooms, karaoke halls, and even a dedicated dining car and a professional chef team, allowing tourists to avoid frequently changing hotels during the 17-day journey and truly realize the worry-free experience of “sightseeing by day, riding the train at night, and waking up already in a new city.”
