What's the difference between a tourist train and an ordinary train?

1. First of all, the body itself is different. Generally, tourist trains are soft sleeper boxes for two or four people, and the boxes have separate bathrooms. There are restaurants, bars and other facilities on the train, which is basically equivalent to a mobile hotel. At the same time, since it is a tourist train, the people on the train are all tourists on the same trip, and there will be no other types of passengers.

An ordinary train first takes tourists to a certain destination, then all tourists get off and start sightseeing in the local and surrounding cities, and then return from a certain destination by train after the trip. The tourist train is playing while walking, and after arriving at each destination, it returns to the train and continues to go down.

At present, there are two kinds of domestic tourist trains. One is the "point-to-point" train such as Yuntai Mountain Tourist Special Train and Chifeng Tourist Special Train, which actually only solves the problem of large volume, because taking the special train can directly reach the relevant destination and avoid the complicated transfer problem in general, but tourists do not get off midway, but go straight at one stop and return by the special train after the tour.

4. The other is a "one-line and multi-point" tourist train, such as the Orient Express series, whose itinerary often spans several provinces. After careful design, tourists will get off along the way and then return to the special train to continue the next journey. Tourists basically don't have to get off to get their luggage, and most of their accommodation is on the train. Therefore, this kind of tourist train can better represent a kind of tourism.

The quality of tourist trains is also different. High-grade tourist train has luxurious interior, novel car body, complete hardware facilities and many service personnel. The local ground level of each station is also high. The most important thing is that a train can only carry 10 cars at most, and each car has eight small boxes for four people, so the whole train can only carry more than 300 people at most. There will be 700 or 800 people in the lower-grade tourist trains, and the facilities in the trains are relatively imperfect. In fact, some top foreign tourist trains even carry more than 100 passengers.
