Sunset Glow Special Tourist Train
Special tourist trains are tourist trains specially approved by China Railway Corporation (formerly the Ministry of Railways) in coordination with various railway bureaus along the route for a specific tourist activity. Each tour requires special application and approval. Tourists use the same train and the same berth throughout the entire journey. When tourists disembark for sightseeing or accommodation, the special train waits locally, allowing for a single trip to visit famous landscapes in multiple provinces and cities along the way. Special tourist trains usually connect representative attractions, satisfying tourists’ desires to visit numerous attractions in one trip. In addition, unlike the difficulty of buying tickets for ordinary train groups, there is no need to worry about this for special tourist trains. Special tourist trains have the characteristics of fixed time, fixed location, and fixed route, which can leverage the advantage of "multiple tours on one line," meaning that one tourist route can offer multiple travel options.
