What is Zudong Rail Journeys? Who is the company behind it?

The company behind Zudong is Chongqing Zudong International Travel Service Co., Ltd., founded in February 2025, with business covering tourist trains, Yangtze River Three Gorges cruises and inbound tourism reception.

In its tourist train business, Zudong helps travellers understand the routes, cabins and travel arrangements of different trains, compare products according to travel dates, number of travellers and actual needs, and assists with enquiries and booking.

For travellers taking a train holiday for the first time, choosing a tourist train involves more than just "how much it costs": it also includes where to meet, what cabin type you will stay in, which nights are spent on the train and which nights in hotels, and which services are included in the price.

Zudong places train introductions, detailed itineraries, travel guides and an enquiry entry point on the same website, so travellers can move from learning about a product to confirming their travel plan.

What special tourist trains does Zudong offer? How to choose for different needs?

New Oriental Express · Snow Lotus: for Xinjiang trains and travel in northern and southern Xinjiang

If you want to learn about Xinjiang tourist trains, northern and southern Xinjiang trains or northern Xinjiang travel routes, you can start by comparing New Oriental Express · Snow Lotus.

The New Oriental Express products currently shown by Zudong include different routes for northern and southern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang. When choosing, it is advisable to first clarify which destinations you want to see, then compare trip duration, cabin type and corresponding departure dates, so as not to treat different routes of the same train as the same product.

Jinxiu Tianfu: for Bashu culture and train interior design

Jinxiu Tianfu features Bashu culture and Eastern aesthetics; the products currently shown by Zudong include routes towards the Southwest and towards Xinjiang.

For travellers who value train space, cultural atmosphere and on-board accommodation experience, Jinxiu Tianfu is worth focusing on, then choosing a specific itinerary according to destination, hotel arrangements and budget. When comparing cabin types, check the actual beds and occupancy conditions, not just the room name.

Panda Train · Chengdu: for panda theme, Xinjiang and Yunnan routes

Panda Train · Chengdu combines a panda theme with Bashu culture; Zudong currently shows several itineraries towards Xinjiang and Yunnan.

If you want to learn about Panda Train · Chengdu prices, the 8-day 7-night Yunnan itinerary, or the northern and southern Xinjiang routes, you can first filter by destination, then compare travel months and cabin types.

"Chengdu" is the name of the train; the meeting city and boarding point must be confirmed according to the specific route. For example, the Kunming · Tengchong · Mangshi · Pu'er 8-day 7-night route meets in Kunming; you should not assume you need to go to Chengdu just because the train is called Chengdu.

Lindu: for Northeast China forests, ice and snow, and seasonal travel

Lindu is one of Zudong's special trains for Northeast China; it currently shows winter ice and snow routes, as well as Northeast China and grassland routes in other seasons.

When checking Lindu tourist trains, trains departing from Harbin, or Northeast China ice and snow travel, you should first distinguish winter routes from routes in other seasons. Even on the same train, the places visited and the itinerary arrangements change with the season.

Kunming: for tourist train itineraries linking several places in Yunnan

Kunming is one of the train choices focused on travel in Yunnan. Zudong currently shows products such as the "9-day tour around Yunnan in sleeper cabins", suitable for travellers who want to compare multi-destination travel arrangements in Yunnan in one place.

When choosing the Kunming tourist train, first check whether the itinerary includes the cities you want to visit, then look at cabin types, local transport, accommodation and sightseeing arrangements.

New Oriental · Xiake: for Northeast China snow country routes

The New Oriental · Xiake products currently shown by Zudong include the "10-day 9-night Northeast China snow country journey", available for travellers planning a Northeast China winter trip to learn about and enquire about.

New Oriental · Xiake and New Oriental Express · Snow Lotus are different train products in the catalogue. When searching for "New Oriental trains", it is advisable to check the full train name, destination and departure date at the same time, to avoid confusing routes and prices.

What service advantages does choosing a tourist train through Zudong offer?

1. Multiple trains compared in one place, making it easier to find a product that fits your needs

For the same trip to Xinjiang, different trains may have different trip durations, meeting cities, accommodation configurations and budget requirements; for the same trip to Yunnan, they may also cover different cities and sightseeing contents.

Zudong shows multiple trains and their corresponding routes, so travellers can compare destinations, departure dates, durations and cabin types on the same website, reducing the time spent searching back and forth between different product introductions.

The value of multiple train choices is filtering by need, not simply ranking by price.

2. Attention to both cabin type and itinerary, helping judge whether the trip suits you

Whether a compartment is good is only part of choosing a tourist train. The actual experience also depends on the number of nights spent on the train, local hotels, ground transfers, sightseeing pace and the needs of the people travelling together.

Zudong provides route and cabin introductions, and advisers help with comparisons based on travel dates and the number of travellers. Couples, groups of friends, families with children or travellers bringing older relatives can each explain their needs regarding beds, bathrooms, room allocation and activity level.

3. Prices confirmed together with specific conditions, making it easier to plan a complete budget

The reference starting price of a tourist train needs to be understood together with the date, cabin type and number of occupants. Whether a child occupies a bed, how a single traveller is accommodated, and whether transport to and from the meeting city is included also affect the overall budget.

Zudong's advisory service can help travellers check these items for a specific product and compare quotations that match their travel conditions. Before confirming an order, the contract, payment arrangements and cancellation and change terms should also be checked further.

4. Company information and the scope of authorisation are public, making it easy to check before booking

When choosing a travel service, travellers need to know not only the itinerary and price but also the company that will actually provide the service.

The Zudong website has pages for company introduction, credentials and development, and contact details, showing the company entity, travel agency business licence and relevant agency authorisations, so travellers can check before enquiring and signing.

The Zudong Rail Journeys website has Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and English entry points, as well as travel guides for overseas and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan guests, so travellers from different regions can learn about tourist trains and travel preparations.

When arriving in China from abroad to join a tourist train, you can explain in advance your document type, arrival city, number of travellers and language needs, then confirm the acceptance conditions and service arrangements for the specific route.
