This newly upgraded luxury tourist train in 2026 adopts the design concept of a ‘moving viewing platform,’ transforming its carriages into panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing passengers to enjoy magnificent views of the Tianshan snow-capped peaks, Gobi sunsets, grassland flower fields, and more while on the move. The train is also equipped with five-star accommodation standards, a Michelin-level catering team, and professional cultural lecturers to provide explanations along the way, truly achieving an immersive experience of ‘enjoying the scenery during the day and savoring the culture at night.’
