There is a reason why luxury trains are so popular

🚂The 2025 Northwest's new top-tier "Silk Road Dream" sightseeing train has been really popular recently. I followed the trend and tried it. It took 5 days and 4 nights to travel through the Millennium Silk Road in Qinghai and Gansu. It was really fun! ❗【👇Click below to travel around the northwest on the Silk Road Dream】 ❗ 🚂【How to choose between the two trains】 1️⃣ "The beginning of prosperity" Xining → Dunhuang ✨Highlights: The US dollar-level view of Dachaidan Emerald Lake 🏞️, desert dinner 🏜️ (starry sky + bonfire + roasted whole lamb, the atmosphere is full!) 🛏️Accommodation: Changle Guest Room & Jinxiu Weiyang Suite, with panoramic skylights to look at the snow-capped mountains and grasslands~ 2️⃣ "Revisiting the Silk Road" Dunhuang→Xining ✨Highlights: Limited seats! In-depth experience of Silk Road culture, VIP service provided by train stewards throughout the journey🎖️ 🛏️Accommodation: Same luxury suite, but different itinerary order, suitable for those who want to visit Mogao Grottoes first! 🌟【Highlights of the trip】 ✅ Emerald Lake USD: The lake water in Dachaidan is so blue that it looks like it has been photoshopped, and any photo you take is a blockbuster📸 ✅ Desert Dinner: Eat roasted whole lamb at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, and look up to see the Milky Way 🌌, so romantic! ✅ Silk Road Culture: There are professional explanations on the train, you can learn history while playing, and it is also very suitable for bringing children 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 ❗【👇Click below to travel around the northwest on the Silk Road Dream】 ❗
