Train Travel Redefined: The Ultimate Modern Lifestyle Choice
SHANGHAI, Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting from December 18th, the meticulously crafted "Silk Road Express" by the esteemed railway cultural tourism expert "Train of Glamour" will set out. This luxurious international tourist train is embarking on a four-month "Train Cruise of China," starting in Xining. The journey includes stops at celebrated locations such as Xi'an, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Huangshan, Wuyishan, Kunming, Chongzuo, Xingyi, Chengdu, and more, offering train enthusiasts an unparalleled opportunity to explore the wonders of China.
The Train Cruise of China offers two distinct experiences: a 2-day, 1-night micro-vacation and a 4-day, 3-night short-haul series. Aligned with the slogan "The Train Is The Destination", the micro-vacation caters to travelers seeking the convenience of remaining onboard throughout their journey. Guests board in the afternoon, enjoy a sumptuous dinner, and retire to their private cabins, disembarking after breakfast the following day. During their stay, travelers can indulge in special onboard activities including afternoon tea, cabaret shows, cocktail parties, jewelry sessions, art lectures, gourmet tastings, and spa experiences. Further enhancing the experience are amenities like karaoke and mahjong rooms, with a dedicated team of train butlers providing round-the-clock service.
Train of Glamour describes the micro-vacation series as a versatile choice for those looking for an innovative staycation, a romantic getaway, a festive celebration, or a distinctive way to ring in the New Year. Special holiday-themed menus are already planned for the Christmas and New Year's Eve dinners, inviting guests to celebrate in style.
The 4-day, 3-night short-haul features a more engaging itinerary, offering a variety of activities beyond the train. Among them, the Tour of Double Cultural Heritages in East China, navigating from Shanghai to Wuyishan and Huangshan, and back, and the Tour of Scenic Spots in Guizhou and Guangxi, which connects Shenzhen or Guangzhou to Chongzuo, Xingyi, and Kunming. These tours uphold the high standards of the Train of Glamour, with vacation ambassadors providing attentive, family-style service throughout.
The Silk Road Express initially rolled out on July 6 of this year, featuring a 15-car configuration with 38 deluxe cabins, each equipped with private bathrooms. Its inaugural route, the Qinghai-Gansu line, offered a 5-day, 4-night round trip from Xining to Dunhuang. As of October 10, the train began offering the Traveling Around Southern Xinjiang, with options for a 6-day, 5-night journey or an extended 9-day, 8-night adventure.
This launch signifies a progressive step by Train of Glamour to diversify and enhance their offerings, enabling more train travel enthusiasts to delve into China's vast landscapes and experience the boundless charm of domestic railway cultural tourism within a short timeframe. Looking ahead, Train of Glamour plans to continue its tradition of innovation by introducing more high-quality, unique, and popular tourist train offerings.
