🚂 Dahe Zhi Nan Hao:A mobile living room of the Central Plains, a 17-day cultural journey to Xinjiang
In this fast-paced era, slow travel is quietly making a comeback. In 2026, the ‘Dahe Zhi Nan Hao’ special tourist train sets off again, designed with the concept of ‘one route, one theme; one carriage, one landscape,’ cleverly linking Central Plains culture with the scenery of the Western Regions. This is not just a journey across the east and west, but an immersive mobile living experience—by day, explore the heart of northern and southern Xinjiang; by night, sleep soundly in a comfortable moving space. No need to change hotels or drag luggage throughout the trip, truly achieving ‘the train moves with you, the scenery shifts with the train.’
🚞 Train Positioning and Overall Experience
The ‘Dahe Zhi Nan Hao’ is built by China State Railway Group Zhengzhou Co., Ltd., positioned as a high-quality tourist train integrating transportation, accommodation, dining, and culture. Its exterior features a ‘Yellow River Gold Belt’ paint scheme, incorporating Central Plains cultural elements like Yangshao painted pottery patterns and Longmen flying apsaras, conveying a rich cultural atmosphere visually.
The train primarily targets family trips, group outings with friends and relatives, and middle-aged and elderly groups, emphasizing comfort, convenience, and cultural resonance. The entire train adopts hotel-style management, equipped with a dedicated service team accompanying passengers from boarding to return, ensuring a worry-free trip. Specifically for long-distance travel needs, the carriage connections feature gentle slopes and anti-slip handrails, bed heights are ergonomically designed, and bedside emergency call buttons and light adjustment panels are installed, showing care in every detail.
🛏 ️ Seat Configuration and Hardware Advantages
All compartments on the ‘Dahe Zhi Nan Hao’ are equipped with private bathrooms, featuring wet-dry separation, completely eliminating the inconvenience of queuing for toilets on traditional green trains.

Private Bathroom 2-Bed Room:Approximately 9.5 square meters, suitable for couples or close friends, offering strong privacy;

A dedicated dining car staffed by a professional chef team provides three meals daily, with fresh ingredients and standardized cooking. The menu blends Central Plains flavors with Xinjiang specialties, balancing nutrition and palatability.
The itinerary follows the principle of ‘travel by night, sightsee by day,’ reducing travel fatigue. Along the way, it covers key northern and southern Xinjiang attractions like Turpan, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, Duku Highway, Nalati Grassland, Kanas, and Sayram Lake, while also incorporating cultural interactive activities such as tasting Xinyang Maojian tea and enjoying Henan opera excerpts, enriching the journey with both natural beauty and cultural charm.
