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.

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.

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.
