Silk Road Express · Bustling Beginning 5D4N / 丝路梦享号·繁华伊始之旅 5天4晚

No. This is a land journey and the fare covers everything from the moment you arrive at the journey's start city. You arrange your own flights to Dunhuang and home from Xining, or the reverse depending on your departure. Our consultants are happy to quote flights for you separately. A dedicated driver meets you at the airport on arrival and returns you to the airport at the end.

不包含。本行程为地面行程，团费涵盖抵达出发城市之后的全部安排。往返【敦煌】与【西宁】的机票请您自行安排，本公司亦可为您另行报价。抵达当日有专车于机场迎接，行程结束时亦由专车送返机场。

Full-route travel aboard the Silk Road Express in the cabin you book, all meals and drinks on board, the hotel nights listed in the itinerary in a room category matching your cabin, every excursion and first-entry ticket in the programme, scenic-area shuttles, private vehicle transfers throughout, VIP access at key attractions, and the services of a 24-hour Express Concierge, a Destination Ambassador ashore and a professional photographer who travels with the group.

包含：全程乘坐丝路梦享号列车（您所订舱房）、车上全部餐饮、行程列明的酒店住宿（房型与舱房同级）、行程内全部游览及首道门票、景区接驳车、全程专属用车、核心景点贵宾礼遇，以及24小时列车管家、地面度假大使与全程随行专业摄影师的服务。

Fifteen carriages, 38 en-suite cabins and no more than 80 guests. The exterior is the world's first fully hand-painted luxury tourist train, carrying Han-dynasty cloud motifs painted by a team from the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts; the interiors are by HBA, their first luxury-train project. On board are two dining cars, a lounge car with a piano, a 270 degree observation car, a karaoke lounge, a games room with an automatic mahjong table and a cigar room. Each cabin receives a complimentary hour in both the karaoke and games rooms.

全列15节车厢，38间独立卫浴客房，至多接待80位宾客。车身为全球首列外涂装全手绘的奢华旅游列车，汉代云气纹由清华美院团队亲手绘就；室内由国际顶尖酒店设计事务所HBA操刀，为其首个奢华列车项目。车上设中西双餐车、设钢琴的客厅车厢、270度全景观景车厢、卡拉OK室、配自动麻将桌的棋牌室及雪茄吧。每间客房可免费使用卡拉OK室及棋牌室各一小时。

Twin, King and Family cabins are priced per person and are sold on the basis of two guests sharing one cabin, so the minimum booking for those cabins is two guests. The Grand Suite is different: it is sold as a whole suite at one price, so a single guest may book it, and it accommodates up to two adults plus one child aged 12 or below. There are only two Grand Suites on board.

双床房、大床房及亲子房均为每人价格，以两位宾客同住一间为准，因此最少须两位宾客同行。锦绣未央套房则不同：整套出售，一价成交，故一位宾客亦可预订，最多可入住两位成人及一位12岁或以下儿童。全列仅设两套。

No. Because this is a land journey there is no airport tax, and service is included in the fare, so no tipping is expected.

不需要。本行程为地面行程，故无机场税；服务费已含于团费之内，无需另付小费。

The journey operates in both directions and both are shown on this page. Each departure date is labelled either Xining to Dunhuang or Dunhuang to Xining, so please check the label when you choose your date. The programme is the same in either direction, simply experienced in reverse order. The day-by-day on this page follows the Dunhuang to Xining direction.

本线路双向开行，两个方向的班期均列于本页。每个出发日期均标注【西宁至敦煌】或【敦煌至西宁】，选择日期时请留意标示。两个方向的游览内容相同，仅顺序相反。本页每日行程以【敦煌至西宁】方向为准。

Mornings and afternoons are spent ashore on the excursions listed in the itinerary, always by private vehicle with your Destination Ambassador and, at the major sites, VIP entry and a specialist guide. The rest of the time belongs to the train. Breakfast and dinner are served in one of the two dining cars, the observation car with its 270 degree windows is the place to watch the plateau go by, and the lounge car, the karaoke room room, the mahjong room and the cigar room are there when you want them. Each cabin receives one complimentary hour in both the karaoke room and mahjong rooms, and the minibar in your cabin is replenished daily at no charge.

上午与下午多为行程列明的岸上游览，全程专车接送，由地面度假大使陪同，主要景点安排贵宾通道及专业讲解。其余时间属于列车本身：早餐与晚餐于中西双餐车享用；270度全景观景车厢是欣赏高原风光的最佳位置；客厅车、卡拉OK室、麻将室与雪茄吧随时恭候。每间客房可免费预约使用卡拉OK室及麻将室各一小时，客房内迷您吧饮品与小食全程免费供应，每日补充。

Sightseeing is unhurried and no trekking is required, but the route crosses the plateau: Dunhuang sits at about 1,000 m, Xining at 2,200 m and Chaka at about 3,000 m. Please bring medication for altitude symptoms, rest well on arrival, drink bottled or boiled water and eat moderately. The dry air and strong sunlight call for sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen and lip balm, and the wide day-to-night temperature swing calls for long sleeves and a warm jacket. If the Mogao Grottoes cannot be reserved and the day is switched to the Silk Road Ancient Trail crossing, that route crosses rough Gobi and mountain tracks and is not recommended for guests who are pregnant or who have serious cardiovascular or cerebrovascular conditions, hypertension, anaemia, or lumbar or cervical spine problems.

游览节奏轻松，无需徒步登山，但沿途行经高原：【敦煌】海拔约1000米，【西宁】约2200米，【茶卡】约3000米。请您备妥缓解高原反应的药物，抵达后充分休息，饮用瓶装水或开水，饮食适量。高原气候干燥、紫外线强烈，请携带太阳镜、遮阳帽、防晒霜及润唇膏；昼夜温差大，请备长袖衣裤及保暖外套。全日越野方案途经戈壁与山路，路况颠簸，孕妇及患有严重心脑血管疾病、高血压、贫血、腰椎或颈椎疾病的宾客不建议参加。

This is the shortest of the Silk Road Express journeys on the northwest route: five days between Dunhuang and Xining, with two nights in your cabin aboard the train and two in five-star hotels. The seven-day Imperial Splendor adds Xi'an, the Terracotta Warriors and a Tang dynasty banquet before joining the same rails, and the seven-day Golden Autumn runs west into Xinjiang as far as Kashgar. Bustling Beginning suits guests with less leave to spend, or anyone who wants the Mogao Grottoes, the singing sands and Chaka Salt Lake without a longer commitment.

这是丝路梦享号西北线中行程最短的一条：五天往返于【敦煌】与【西宁】之间，其中两晚宿于列车舱房，两晚入住五星酒店。七天的盛世华章之旅会先在【西安】游览兵马俑并享用唐乐宫歌舞宴，再接上同一段铁路；七天的丝路金秋之旅则一路西行进入新疆，直抵【喀什】。若您的假期有限，又希望完整体验莫高窟、鸣沙山与茶卡盐湖，繁华伊始之旅是理想之选。

If you hold an ordinary Singapore passport, no visa is needed. Since 9 February 2024 Singapore and China have a mutual 30-day visa-free arrangement, which comfortably covers this journey. Travellers on other passports, for example a Singapore PR holding a foreign passport, should check the rules that apply to them. Please ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the departure date.

持新加坡普通护照者无需签证。自2024年2月9日起，中新两国互免签证，可停留30天，足以涵盖本行程。持其他国家护照者（例如持外国护照的新加坡永久居民）请自行确认适用规定。请确保护照自出发日起有至少六个月有效期。
