🚄 Slow down and let the scenery catch up with you — the new experience of the 2026 ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourist train
In this fast-paced era, the meaning of travel has long gone beyond ‘checking in at attractions’; it lies in immersion, relaxation, and deep perception. In 2026, the ‘Yangtze River Delta Star’ tourist train sets off again as a ‘mobile living space,’ connecting the vast panorama from the banks of the Huangpu River to the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. This is not just a train journey but a 17-day mobile living experiment — exploring natural and cultural heartlands by day, sleeping soundly in a stable carriage by night, with luggage unmoved and a relaxed pace, truly achieving ‘sleeping to distant places, waking up to scenery.’
