Shangri-La Express

Modern comfort in an ancient wilderness… the Shangri-La Express guarantees you good living even in the remotest places.

Twin-berth cabins are the perfect private retreat, comfortably furnished and traditionally decorated with the varnished wood and brass reminiscent of a different age. Each includes a 'Pullman' table and deep armchair alongside a large picture window; a perfect place from which to take in China's ever-changing scenery. A state of the art shower car complements the two washrooms/WC's in every sleeping carriage.

Meals are served in the train's spacious restaurant cars, where our dedicated chefs serve a western breakfast followed by a wide range of authentic Chinese specialities at lunch and dinner, using only the finest local ingredients. As well as soft drinks, tea and coffee, meals are accompanied by a selection of wines from around the world.

Equally special is the unique ambience of the piano bar car, where GW Travel's resident pianist is always happy to take requests. Staying open until the last person leaves, the bar is the perfect place to get to know your fellow passengers…or simply wile away some time, reading or taking in the scenery while enjoying your favourite drink. Note that tours running through both Russia and China will use the Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express for the Russian part of the journey.
