Think train travel is just about getting from A to B? Think again.

As the new year begins, China has elevated the rail commute with the official launch of the "Tianjin Fantasy Express." Operating between Tianjin North and Beijing Station, this isn't just a train – it's China's first-ever immersive, themed cultural train experience.

Stepping on board is like entering a moving time capsule. Across 10 uniquely themed carriages, passengers can journey from enjoying Peking Opera performances to watching films in a futuristic panoramic cinema.

For a more relaxed atmosphere, the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Workshop offers a rare opportunity to engage with master artisans, try traditional crafts and create personalized souvenirs to remember the trip.

Ultimately, the "Tianjin Fantasy Express" proves that the journey can be just as memorable as the destination. It's a travel experience unlike any other.
