[Yangtze River Delta Star:A mobile “five-star home” crossing the northern and southern Xinjiang]
Train introduction:A mobile vacation space that redefines “slow travel”
The Yangtze River Delta Star special train is not a traditional means of transportation, but a “mobile boutique hotel.” Of the 17 carriages in the whole train, 4 are recommended as passenger carriages, and the rest are equipped with bathrooms, multifunctional lounges, open kitchens, and panoramic dining carriages. The train adopts a “low speed, high comfort” design, with a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour, striving for smooth operation and reducing bumpiness, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly groups and tourists with higher requirements for travel comfort.
As China’s first tourist special train with “all soft sleepers + all bathrooms,” its positioning is to “redefine train travel with hotel standards.” The carriages are equipped with underfloor heating, fresh air systems, and humidifiers, solving the problems of large temperature differences between day and night and dry climate in Xinjiang; each carriage has 24-hour hot water supply and an emergency call system, and two certified medical personnel accompany the group, forming a “mobile medical station.”
