The Dahezhinan Special Train is a domestic long-distance leisure slow travel themed special train, with ‘comfortable living’ as its core positioning, designed for travelers seeking in-depth experiences. Unlike traditional tourist trains, it adopts a ‘travel by night, explore by day’ mode, eliminating the need for frequent accommodation changes and the hassle of packing and transferring between cities.
