[Chengdu号 Luxury Special Train Independent Travel:A mobile vacation experience crossing north and south of the Tianshan Mountains] 🚂✨
🌄 Route highlights:A mobile “five-star hotel” and in-depth cultural experience
The Chengdu号 Luxury Special Train takes “slow travel, deep experience” as its core concept, upgrading traditional train travel into a mobile vacation space integrating accommodation, dining, and entertainment. The entire train uses luxury carriages with 7-55 seats, equipped with bathrooms, large viewing windows, 24-hour butler service, and public spaces such as a card room, tea art area, and children’s play area. The newly upgraded “Starry Sky Dome Carriage” in 2026 can achieve 360-degree stargazing and has become a popular check-in spot at night.
On sections of the route such as the Duku Highway, Pamir Plateau, and Kanas Lake, a “stop the vehicle as the scenery appears” service is arranged. For example, on the southern section of the Duku Highway, passengers can get off and hike 2 kilometers to the heart of the Bayanbulak Grassland, led by a professional guide to find naturally growing swan nests; at the Kanas Scenic Area, the special train stops for 4 hours and offers optional activities such as boat rides, horseback riding, and visits to Tuvan households.
