Its core positioning is “sightseeing by day, traveling by night, in-depth experience”: immersive sightseeing at attractions during the day, with the train running at night, saving the fatigue of long-distance road transfers. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists and family groups seeking quality and comfort.
