[Baiyun Hao:A deep experience aboard a “mobile five-star hotel” crossing the north and south of Xinjiang]
Train introduction:Redefining the “Chinese aesthetics” of high-end tourist trains
The “Baiyun Hao” is the first luxury tourist train in southern China themed around a “Chinese scholarly household.” After a brand-new upgrade in 2025, the entire 18-car train is recommended to have 92 passenger seats, emphasizing a “low density, high comfort” travel philosophy. Unlike traditional green-skinned trains or ordinary tourist trains, it is more like a “mobile five-star hotel”—tourists get off during the day for in-depth sightseeing and rest on the special train at night, with no need to carry luggage throughout the trip, saving both worry and effort.
The train design incorporates a large number of Chinese elements: cloud-pattern window lattices, solid wood furniture, custom porcelain tableware, and even the carriage names are full of poetic charm (such as “Yunqi · Lanyue” and “Yunju · Xianting”). Even more noteworthy is that it is equipped with a power-generating car and an infirmary, with medical staff on duty 24 hours a day, providing protection for middle-aged and elderly tourists or those with limited mobility.
