Take the New Oriental Tourist Train---Wandering on the Chinese Civilization Scenic Line

Set off towards the "Oriental Cultural Scenic Line"!

Panda Special Train

Recently, my country's first tourist train exclusive base station-Anjing Station was opened in Chengdu. The National Railway Group held a site meeting on the integration and development of railways and tourism here. Tourist trains such as "Silk Road Dream", "Panda Special Train·An Yi", "Panda Special Train·Shifang", "Yichun", and "Lindu" were collectively unveiled.

In recent years, the railway tourism market has continued to heat up, and boutique tourist trains have emerged as the times require. It is a new measure for the integrated development of "railway + tourism" in China's cultural and tourism market, and the demand for high-quality tourism has been released.

Since this year, tourist trains such as "Silk Road Dream", "Panda Special Train·Shifang", "Yichun", and "Starlight·Lancang-Mekong" have been launched one after another. Many tourists have taken the trains, crossed the desert, traveled along the Silk Road, passed the "Qin Yue Han Pass", and wandered on the Chinese civilization scenic line.

These tourist trains have unique body appearances, some with Dunhuang mural elements as textures, and some with cute pandas as the theme; there are comfortable reception rooms, large landscape windows, ultra-quiet design rooms, smart home systems, cultural and creative food from all over the country... Tourist trains are like "star hotels" on rails, meeting the needs of Chinese and foreign tourists for high-quality travel.

The newly built "Panda Special Train·Chengdu" tourist train officially debuted in Chengdu. This is the third generation of "Panda Special Train" theme series boutique tourist trains after the "Panda Special Train·An Yi" and "Panda Special Train·Shifang" tourist trains of China Railway Chengdu Bureau Group Co., Ltd. There are 5 types of models: living room car, restaurant car, kitchen car, entertainment car, and guest room car.

New Orient Express China

The predecessor of the "New Orient Express" - the "Orient Express" did not receive tourists at first, it only received "foreign guests".

The train travels along the ancient Silk Road, and Bill Gates once visited the Jiayuguan-Dunhuang section of China on this train.

Later, the train was gradually opened to the outside world, but most of the tourists were foreigners.

Many people take this train to enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers of China.

Although the train is not running nationwide now, whether it is the Yinchuan-Urumqi section or the Xinjiang section, the scenery along the way is the essence of the essence.
