Splendid Tianfu:A mobile aesthetic space for the 2027 panoramic North and South Xinjiang journey
Train positioning:A mobile “cultural museum” and “travel butler”
As the world’s first “Shu Brocade and Song Elegance” themed tourist train, Splendid Tianfu takes “cultural immersion + quality service” as its core positioning, deeply integrating traditional aesthetics with modern travel needs. The train consists of 18 cars and is recommended to have 92 seats, with per-capita space far exceeding ordinary trains. It targets high-end niche customers and focuses on the concept of “slow travel, deep experience.” Its design inspiration comes from Shu brocade weaving techniques and the refined tastes of Song dynasty literati. Shu brocade pattern decorations, replicated Song-style furniture, and traditional tea ware displays can be seen throughout the cars, making it worthy of being called a mobile “cultural museum.”
The train is equipped with a professional service team, including train butlers, cultural lecturers, accompanying doctors, and photographers, providing 24-hour responsive service. Multiple themed activities are arranged during the journey, such as private cultural and museum classes, Tuvan concerts, and ancient craft handmade experiences, allowing travelers to feel the depth of culture along the way.
