Train Experience

The Train

Every carriage carries a story of its own

The published 18-carriage formation brings suites, dining, observation, leisure and operational support together. GOLDEN PANDA EXPRESS has the completeness of a moving hotel, shaping rest, gathering and discovery along the way.

Public carriages are not simply spaces between destinations. Shaocheng welcomes, Yunque opens to the landscape, and Jingong and Jinyan give dining a distinctive rhythm.
