What is the real difference between JinTa and JinWo on the Jinxiu Tianfu?

Beyond the three extra square metres, JinTa adds a Song-dynasty-style silk-screen partition that divides the cabin into a sleeping side and a separate sitting area with sofa and tea table, plus a capsule coffee machine and an in-room safe. Only six JinTa rooms exist against forty JinWo rooms. Hotels, guides, group size and every land arrangement are identical for both grades; the upgrade is entirely on the train.

Do both cabin grades have a private bathroom?

Yes. Both JinTa and JinWo have dry-and-wet separated private bathrooms, and both share Bvlgari amenities, TOTO washlets and Dyson dryers, along with a mini-bar.

What does a third guest or a child pay on the Jinxiu Tianfu?

A third guest travelling without a berth pays RMB 39,880. Children aged 12 or under sharing with a full-paying adult pay RMB 16,880. A land single supplement of RMB 8,000 applies when a cabin or hotel room is occupied alone.

Rooms & Cabins

The Jinxiu Tianfu carries 46 rooms for 92 guests in two grades: six JinTa rooms of about 13 m² and forty JinWo rooms of 10 m². Both share the same dry-and-wet bathrooms, the same Bvlgari and TOTO fittings, and exactly the same hotels and land programme. This page puts the two grades side by side, with the 2027 fares and where availability currently stands.

The two rooms in detail

JinTa · 蜀韵栖居

Approx. 13 m² · only 6 rooms on the train · “Deluxe Room” on the operator’s poster

JinTa Shuyun room with silk-screen sitting area

The signature room of the train. A silk-screen partition in Song-dynasty style divides the cabin into a sleeping side and a separate sitting area with a sofa and tea table. On top of the fittings both grades share, the JinTa adds a capsule coffee machine and an in-room safe. Two beds convert into a double. With only six rooms in the whole 46-room train, it is the rarer cabin by a factor of nearly seven.

JinWo · 蜀境栖云

10 m² · 40 rooms on the train · “Superior Room” on the operator’s poster

JinWo Shujing room with two beds and landscape window

One open room: two beds with a fold-out sofa, a large landscape window, and the same dry-and-wet separated bathroom, mini-bar, Bvlgari amenities, TOTO washlets and Dyson dryers as the JinTa. Most JinWo rooms convert into a double. Nothing essential is missing here: the hotels, the 12-to-16-guest land groups, the two guides, the butler service and the onboard medic are identical for both grades. The upgrade is entirely in the room you return to each evening.

Frequently asked questions

Three things decide it: the separate sitting area behind the silk screen, the coffee machine and safe, and the scarcity (6 rooms against 40). If those matter to you, it is the one; if not, JinWo loses nothing on land, and the difference is roughly RMB 29,000 per person on either edition.

Yes, both grades have dry-and-wet separated private bathrooms, with the same Bvlgari amenities, TOTO washlets, Dyson dryers and mini-bar. The bathroom is not a point of difference between the grades.

The JinWo takes a fold-out sofa, but the published third-guest rate of RMB 39,880 covers a third traveller without a train berth; they stay in the hotels with the group. Tell us your party make-up and we will confirm the exact configuration and price in writing before any deposit.
