🚂 Dahezhinan Hao:A mobile ‘storytelling’ Central Plains living room, a 17-day cultural journey to Xinjiang.

In 2026, the ‘Dahezhinan Hao’ tourist train, with the concept of a ‘mobile station,’ connects Central Plains culture with Western Regions scenery into an immersive long-distance journey. It’s not just a train; it’s more like a moving Central Plains living room, carrying travelers through the Hexi Corridor, deep into the Tianshan Mountains, north and south, completing a deep dialogue about mountains, rivers, history, and life in 17 days.
