China's luxury train, the Hulunbuir, unveiled in June 2022, offers an exclusive journey into the depths of the Greater Khingan forests. This unique trip allows passengers to explore the last reindeer herding tribes and the mysterious Ewenki and Oroqen peoples, reaching the border town of Mohe, known as the crown of the golden rooster.
With only 44 seats and a train attendant-to-guest ratio of 1:2, the Hulunbuir train emphasizes comfort and relaxation. Each carriage provides exclusive butler service, and the 22 private cabins, each with a private bathroom, ensure ample space for passengers. The train offers three room types: the Supreme Purple Gold Suite (12.1 square meters), the Elegant Platinum Suite (9.5 square meters), and the Elegant Gold Suite (8.6 square meters).
All services are included in the ticket price, featuring the Bayar dining car, the Nadam salon car, and other multi-functional carriages. Passengers can enjoy cultural salons, product appreciation, and interactive activities. Customized menus with local ingredients are prepared by expert chefs, and refreshments such as coffee and wine are available.
In summer and autumn 2025, the Hulunbuir will travel from Hailar to Genhe, Alihe, and Mohe over 6 days and 5 nights, as well as from Hailar to Genhe, Alihe, and Harbin over the same duration.
