Detailed Introduction to the Tianshan Special Train
The Tianshan Special Train is a high-quality themed tourist train created by the railway department. In 2026, it has been fully upgraded, using the original New Orient Express Blue Diamond car body, with some trips adding Silver Diamond carriages. The entire train incorporates many Xinjiang-style decorative elements, creating a mobile living space that combines comfort and cultural atmosphere. The train features a slow-travel model of ‘the train follows the people, people play while the train stops, depart in the evening and arrive in the morning,’ connecting natural landscapes and cultural sites in northern and southern Xinjiang. The entire trip has no additional consumption arrangements, adopting a one-price model covering designated items in the itinerary, suitable for family trips, senior wellness, and group travel with friends. Passengers don’t need to transfer repeatedly or change berths frequently; luggage can stay in the train compartment without constant packing. Travel time is all at night, and daytime is fully used for sightseeing. One trip allows you to experience snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, Gobi deserts, ancient cities, and plateaus, saving transportation and planning costs compared to multiple trips to Xinjiang.
Seats and Hardware Features of the Tianshan Special Train
The Tianshan Special Train offers various room types for different travel needs, with hardware configurations balancing practicality and comfort, as follows:
Blue Diamond Series Compartments: Available in four-bed and two-bed options. In the four-bed Blue Diamond, the lower bunk is 0.9m wide and 1.95m long, the upper bunk is 0.7m wide and 1.82m long, with a damping device that allows it to fold against the wall, flexibly changing the compartment space. Seven compartments share a public bathroom area with 24-hour hot water. Each Blue Diamond carriage also has a shared small refrigerator and water dispenser, with large viewing windows on both sides for passengers to enjoy the Gobi, grassland, and snow mountain scenery along the way. The two-bed Blue Diamond, after folding up the upper bunk, is recommended to keep two lower bunks for more space and better privacy, suitable for couples, close friends, or those who require more private space.
Silver Diamond Series Compartments: Higher-end, including Silver Diamond four-bed, Silver Diamond two-bed, Executive two-bed, and Silver Diamond Presidential Suite, among others. Some rooms have private bathrooms for better privacy, with larger compartment space and more complete facilities, suitable for family gatherings or high-end travel.
Full Train Hardware Advantages: The entire train body is treated with sand-proof sealing and noise-reduction damping, making the ride smoother and quieter, ensuring passengers’ rest quality. The train is also equipped with two dining cars, a multi-functional leisure car, and a bar car. The dining car can accommodate 96 people at once, and the leisure car features sofas, chess tables, massage chairs, and KTV facilities for relaxation and entertainment during the journey, avoiding boredom on long rides. The carriages have been adapted for the elderly, with non-slip carpets on the aisles, handrails, rounded corner designs, widened non-slip ladders in compartments, and SOS emergency call buttons at the bedside and in the bathroom. Public areas also have magnifying glasses, reading glasses, and other convenient facilities, making it very friendly for middle-aged and elderly passengers.
