🚂 Train positioning:A mobile “Chinese-style cultural living room”
The Baiyun Hao is China’s first luxury tourist train themed around the “Chinese scholarly household.” In 2027 it has been upgraded to a third-generation model, with 18 carriages recommended to offer 92 tourist seats, championing a “low-density, slow travel” concept. Unlike traditional tourist trains, it is more like a mobile cultural space—Chinese-style screens, calligraphy scrolls, and blue-and-white porcelain ornaments can be seen throughout the carriages, the public areas feature tea tables and chess tables, and every evening cultural activities such as intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and poetry recitals are held. The train adopts a “travel by night, tour by day” model: tourists explore destinations in depth during the day and travel by special train to the next stop at night, with no need to repeatedly move luggage throughout the journey, making it especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists seeking a comfortable experience.
🛏 ️Compartment configuration:Bathroom + panoramic viewing window
All compartments on the Baiyun Hao are double-occupancy private rooms, each equipped with a dry-wet separated bathroom and 24-hour hot water supply. There are two types of compartments:
Yunqi · Lanyue Luxury Twin Room:About 13.8㎡, a high-end room type with a reception sofa, mini fridge, and large viewing window; the twin beds can be combined into a 2-meter king bed. 8 rooms are recommended across the train, suitable for families or tourists seeking privacy.
