The Silk Road Dream Express is a high-end tourist train focused on the Silk Road cultural experience, renovated by CRRC Qingdao Sifang. The entire train consists of 15 carriages, including 10 sleeping cars with bathrooms, 4 multi-functional carriages (2 of which are dining cars with different styles), and is recommended to have 38 VIP rooms. It can accommodate up to 80 passengers, providing ample space per person to ensure privacy and comfort during the trip. The exterior design, hand-painted by the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, features Han Dynasty cloud patterns as the core element, combined with green landscape tones and traditional lacquer red, integrating Eastern cultural aesthetics into the train design. The interior is crafted by the globally renowned design company HBA, blending Silk Road cultural elements with modern comfort needs. The carriages display various selected artworks, highlighting cultural texture in every detail. The train is equipped with 270-degree panoramic electrically heated windows, which, after multiple tests, can achieve defogging and defrosting functions, allowing clear views of the scenery in any weather. The carriages also feature hotel-style boarding and alighting lobbies, smart butler systems, and bathroom systems, ensuring a high-quality travel and living experience.

💡 Travel Tips
The Western Regions area has strong UV rays, so it is recommended to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, sun hats, and other sun protection items. The temperature difference between day and night along the route is significant, so bring long-sleeved clothing and light jackets to cope with temperature changes. Some scenic spots are at relatively high altitudes, so prepare common medications based on your physical condition, rest well before traveling, and avoid strenuous exercise.
