[Baiyun Hao Train:A Chinese-style literary-themed special train, opening a new experience of in-depth travel across Northern and Southern Xinjiang]
Train positioning and features:A moving “Chinese-style cultural museum”
As the country’s first Chinese-style literary-themed luxury tourist train, the Baiyun Hao takes “low density, slow travel” as its core design concept. The full train is recommended to have 18 carriages and provide 92 tourist seats, focusing on a comfortable rhythm of “in-depth sightseeing by day, moving rest by night.” The train runs through its overall design with Chinese aesthetics, integrating traditional elements into everything from carriage interiors to service details, such as cloud-pattern decorations, wooden furniture, and custom tableware, creating an immersive experience of “body on the journey, heart in poetry and painting.”
The train is especially suitable for tourists seeking quality and cultural experiences, and particularly offers retired seniors, people with limited mobility, and family travel groups a travel plan of “one price covering designated items within the itinerary, for a comfortable trip.” Its biggest highlight lies in:No need to repeatedly move luggage throughout the trip. Tourists only need to carry their personal items when getting on and off the train; all other luggage is uniformly managed by train staff, completely solving the luggage burden problem in long-distance travel.
