Gansu Railway is the longest north-south railway line in the world. In the 1941s, in order to develop the inland, Australia hired Afghans and camels to assist the immigrants at that time in inland reclamation, development and transportation.
Afghans use ropes to string camels into a team for transportation, which is called camel train. In memory of these AfGhans and the camel team, they were named "ghan".
The train runs vertically through the northern, southern and central parts of Australia. Starting from Darwin, Australia's Northern Territory Province, it passes through Alice Springs in the inland of central Australia and finally reaches Adelaide in southern Australia.

Only when you have been here can you really feel the essence of Australia.
Twelve disciples are greeting you on Ocean Road and Blue Ocean Road in Melbourne. Gold coast, don't be too embarrassed. I feel young after playing in the Gold Coast theme park, and I still remember the feeling of screaming on the carnival island. Is the dull koala embraced by Brisbane Longbai still sleeping? Adelaide Kangaroo Island is really a paradise for wildlife. This is a lively zoo without fences! The pink lake in Perth, Western Australia is really fantastic, and I want to go there again. Do you still remember the big stone of Lulu, the shooting place of the Japanese film Calling for Love in the Center of the World? The red desert is lonely and desolate, and it is also particularly charming. Dare you challenge Darwin's "cage of death"?
In Australia, there is a through train, which makes China tourists who are used to the high-speed train go crazy collectively. This is one of the most classic train trips in the world. It takes you around all the scenic spots in Australia, combining comfort and adventure perfectly. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a "mobile five-star hotel". This is the Australian Gan train.
The Gan train in Australia has been running for 151 years. In 1841, in order to develop the inland, Australia hired Afghans and camels to assist in the inland development work. Afghans strung camels together with ropes to transport them, and they became camel trains. To commemorate these Afghans and the camel team, Buwa named this railway line "Gan Gan".
Gan train is more than just a train. It is a pioneering history of Australia's inland and a proud legend of Australia since its establishment.
There are several travel routes on the Gan train, the most classic of which is "Gan Expedition": the train starts from Darwin Railway Station, passes through Catherine, Alice Springs, Cooper Pedy, and finally reaches Adelaide. The whole journey lasts for 3 days and 2 nights, covering 3218.69 kilometers from north to south.
the average speed is 85km/h and the top speed is 115km/h.
Along the railway tracks, let's explore Catherine Canyon, experience the aboriginal culture, learn the art of basket weaving, javelin and stippling, and appreciate the beauty of traditional musical instruments of Digiridu.
If you like to enjoy the scenery from God's perspective, you are welcome to hover over Kakadu and Nitmiluk National Parks by helicopter during parking time, and enjoy the deep valleys or daunting cliffs extending along the river.
You can also go back to Pindan Camel Road and ride docile camels across deserts and sand dunes to pay tribute to the Afghans who took part in inland pioneering more than 111 years ago.
When the train enters Kubepe, we can enter underground tunnels and caves, visit the Serbian Orthodox Church in the underground churches of the world, and catch a glimpse of the natural Australian gem mine in Umona.
Special underground dinner
In addition to the above wonderful experiences, passengers on the Gan train can also punch in to agusta Port, underground mining town, the world's longest fence-Dingge fence, painted desert, Alice Springs desert park, Todd Pedestrian Mall, chivite Ridge and so on.
I have to book such a high train fare six months in advance. I have to say that there are more and more local tyrants now! The reason why the Gansu train is so expensive is mainly because its travel mode is comparable to that of land cruise ships, and it often stops around to let tourists get off for sightseeing, and there are many more scenic spots than the above-mentioned trains.
when tourists take the Gansu train, most of them buy a package service. The package includes not only accommodation, but also entertainment facilities and meals on the train. The dining car Queen Adelaide was specially set up on the Gan train. The first-class cooking team and raw materials are provided by local suppliers, aiming to provide passengers with local Australian cuisine and world-famous wines. As long as you order the train service, you can enjoy super-high food and good wine for free!
The Jiangxi train has three carriages and three restaurants. Each carriage should be divided into double rooms and single rooms. Next, let's introduce them one by one:
Gold service car
Gold carriage is a kind of compact carriage, which is divided into three grades: gold service double, gold single and gold advanced cabin. Among them, the double cabin is the most cost-effective and popular room type.
Golden Double Creation Hall
There are three people in the twin-bed cabin during the day, and the lower berth is changed at night (similar to the soft berth of China train). It is equipped with a compact shower and toilet, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way through the window. That is, you can look at the changing scenery in a daze, or you can talk about life and drink with your companions.
three meals and drinks a day are paid by the queen's restaurant (or you can go to the inland explorer lounge). Short trips are also free, and you can carry 61 kilograms of luggage. Darwin provides free shuttle buses to some hotels in the city center.
Compared with a double room, a single room can enjoy all the services of a double room. In addition, a safe and luggage rack are added to turn the bunk bed into a single bed, but the public bathroom and toilet at the rear must be used.
gift wash bag
the superior cabin is a collection and upgraded version of the first two. You can think of it as a "big bed room": a single bed becomes a double bed, and an extra upper bed can be added, including a small sofa and living space.
platinum service platinum service car
The platinum car is one grade higher than the gold car, and the space in the light car is larger than that in both gold cars. During the day, the huge carriage is a small world for you to enjoy alone. You can enjoy Bollinger champagne and Haig chocolate while enjoying the scenery outside the window.
When night falls, the activity room full of various activities during the day is transformed into a comfortable bedroom, which can accommodate two single beds or a double bed. The housekeeper lays a soft linen sheet for you.
unlike platinum, platinum VIP has a special platinum bar. The menu here changes and adjusts with the change of seasons, and has convex and concave characteristics, such as salted herring, roasted kangaroo meat and so on. Breakfast, two-course lunch, three-course dinner, continental breakfast every morning, and even afternoon tea and afternoon tea can be sent to the box by the Commissioner. Such a rich variety of dishes will definitely keep you from traveling on an empty stomach.
platinum produced by the club.
apart from the different restaurant settings, the platinum box is superior to the gold box in that it not only provides free shuttle service within 51 kilometers from the departure point to the destination (that is, within 51 kilometers after arriving in Darwin), but also allows each passenger to carry 91 pieces of luggage. If the gold car meets the five-star travel standard, the platinum car will upgrade your train trip to world-class comfort and luxury!
Chairman's carriage
A unique "carriage" can accommodate up to 8 people, which is especially suitable for family, friends' parties and various activities organized by the company. You can tell by the number of people that the area is large.
There are super-large conference tables, multifunctional lounges, leather sofas and other luxurious interiors, and the suites are equipped with separate shower rooms, dressing tables, bathrooms and so on. And catering and reception have special service;
the transportation range from the starting point to the destination city is 61 kilometers, and each guest checks 91 kilograms of luggage. Because it is the highest level in the car, the content of "all-inclusive price" is also the richest, and all three restaurants in the car can taste it.
In fact, in addition to the Gan train, there are many luxurious train trips in Australia, such as the "Great South Tour" where trains gallop along the coastline (from Adelaide to Brisbane) and the "India-Pacific Tour" which runs through Australia from east to west (from Perth to Sydney). The journey was wonderful, and we will introduce it next time.
