The train operates on a ‘daytime sightseeing, nighttime travel’ model, with daily travel distances controlled within 300 kilometers to ensure passengers have ample time for in-depth exploration. The entire train is equipped with a professional tour guide team, with one bilingual guide arranged per carriage, providing a ‘mobile classroom’ service that turns the journey into an immersive learning experience, covering everything from geological changes to the cultures of various ethnic groups.
