It is equipped with:
  • Multi-functional welcome carriage
  • Featured dining carriage
  • Professional kitchen carriage
  • Entertainment & viewing carriage
  • Comfortable guest room carriages
As the world’s first luxury Chinese-style train themed on Shu Brocade & Song Dynasty Elegance, it is also the only luxury themed train in China with 18 fully assembled carriages and fewer than 100 passengers.

It is one of the few luxury trains in China with a hotel-style welcome lobby (the other being the Silk Road Dream Express).

It is also the first luxury train in China to introduce a functional zoning design in private cabins.

The luxury 3-room cabin (13 ㎡) uses sheer soft partitions to separate sleeping and lounge areas, perfectly combining rest and reception functions.

All room types allow a third guest (child), making it very family-friendly.
