A rail honeymoon trades the ordinary for a journey that is itself the celebration. You unpack once, then the room travels with you, so the days are spent together watching China unfold, not checking in and out. A few suites are built specifically for two.
The suites built for two
New Oriental Express
The Supreme Gold Diamond suite is designed for couples: a double sofa, twin beds that combine into a 1.7 m double, and a private en-suite with wet and dry zones.
Silk Road Express
The 22 m² Jiumu Imperial Suite is the largest in Chinese rail: two rooms, separate living and sleeping areas, and a king bed.
Lindou Express
The 21 m² supreme suite has a king bed, a separate living room and a picture window framing snow-covered forest, with a live jazz bar down the train.
White Cloud Express
Its 13.7 m² suites have a floor-to-ceiling panoramic window, a double sofa and twin beds that combine for couples.
Moments made for two
Themed banquets and private dining cars, from a desert dinner near Dunhuang to a Xinjiang welcome banquet.
The Lindou's jazz bar and several trains' lounge cars host live music each evening.
Floor-to-ceiling glass and panoramic cars turn the passing desert, grasslands and snow into a private view.
