Dahe Zhinan:A moving scenic route across the north and south of Xinjiang, opening a new experience of comfortable living while traveling🚂
[Train positioning:A mobile “five-star living space”]
Dahe Zhinan is not a tourist special train in the traditional sense, but a mobile vacation carrier designed with “in-depth living travel” as its core. It breaks through the conventional model of “sleeping on the train and taking photos when getting off,” integrating accommodation, dining, entertainment, social interaction, and other functions into the carriages, allowing tourists during the 17-day itinerary to both immersively experience the magnificent scenery of northern and southern Xinjiang and enjoy a hotel-like comfortable experience.
The train takes “slow travel” as its concept, with the average daily travel mileage controlled within 300 kilometers, striving to give tourists ample time for in-depth sightseeing at destinations. The carriages are equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, and a silent noise-reduction system, and are decorated with environmentally friendly materials to reduce the fatigue of long-distance travel. The multi-function carriage also has an audio-visual area, chess and card area, karaoke area, and is even equipped with a small meeting room to meet the social needs of different groups.
