Want to see all of Xinjiang’s snowy mountains, lakes, grasslands, and ancient cities in one go, without the hassle of long journeys and frequent hotel changes? In 2026, the “Dahe Zhi Nan Hao” tourist train, with its “mobile hotel + travel by day, sleep by night” model, offers a worry-free and dignified choice for elderly tourists, family travelers, and those who prefer a comfortable pace.
🌄 Train and Starting Point:Departing from the Central Plains, heading towards the scenery of the Western Regions
The “Dahe Zhi Nan Hao” is built by China Railway Zhengzhou Group Co., Ltd. The train body is inspired by the “Yellow River Golden Belt,” and the carriages incorporate Central Plains cultural elements like Yangshao painted pottery and Longmen flying apsaras, earning it the title of a “walking cultural living room.” The train departs from Zhengzhou Station, with stops along the way at Luoyang, Xi’an, Lanzhou, etc., allowing passengers from different regions to board conveniently.
The route adopts a “depart in the evening, arrive in the morning; travel by day, sleep by night” model—visit attractions during the day, and sleep soundly on the smoothly running special train at night, saving time and avoiding long-distance travel. Luggage stays on the train throughout the journey, eliminating the need to repeatedly move luggage or change accommodations, making it especially suitable for tourists not accustomed to self-driving or frequent transfers.
🛏 ️ Cabin Configuration:Hotel-style sleeper compartments, private and comfortable
The “Dahe Zhi Nan Hao” features soft-sleeper compartments throughout, with all room types equipped with separate wet and dry bathrooms and hot water showers, completely eliminating the inconvenience of queuing for washing on traditional trains. The carriages have also undergone multiple age-friendly modifications: anti-slip floors, threshold-free passages, fluorescent handrails, SOS emergency call devices, and other details, fully catering to the needs of elderly passengers.
