    In National Geographic's Ultimate Travel: 500 Classic Routes of a Lifetime Tour, Australia lists a train route that has been operating since 1929, The Ghan. One of the world's greatest railway trains, the Ghan train was originally called the Afghan Camel Express because when it opened the Australian Red Centre 150 years ago, Afghans hired to string camels into a line with ropes to carry out transport work like trains. Some people said: Take a train on the Gan, it is really entering Australia. I took the train from the southern Australian city of Adelaide. This is a Shanghai friend who lived in Melbourne booked it a year ago. It is really expensive and slow! In this era of fast pursuit, I also took out a few days to travel on a train that was not so fast, let the scenery retreat, slow down, and leave all the good things in my heart. As the sun shines on the red-soiled Australian continent, Gan slowly sails toward this red miracle, and the red soil stretches for miles as if it were a trip to Mars. The barren continent gives people inexplicable fear and brings great excitement. Surrounded by a deserted person, accompanied by only the rare trees and reptiles in the desert, if not in the carriage, feel as if they are abandoned by the world. However, the luxurious facilities, intimate service and the scenery on the road on the Gan train have become the most memorable memories of life. I live in the "Gold Superior Single Box" (2.00m x 1.30m), the following is the official announcement: Include all breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and drinks in the car, will eat at the "Queen Adelaide Restaurant", inland explorer lounge for leisure activities. Include all off-the-board sightseeing tours and experiences. Single seats are available in the carriage during the day, and at night our service staff will convert the seats into a single bed. Public toilets and bathrooms are available at both ends of the carriage, and toiletries are provided free of charge. The dynamic menu in the restaurant shows the best regional flavors every day. The train's professional cooking team sourcing quality and freshest ingredients from top Australian salmon to locally produced beef and lamb, Margaret cheese, Barosha Valley snacks and local Australian specialties including kangaroos, salt marsh and wild roses. The carriage was full of retro atmosphere, just in time for the people in the car, from the beginning of the departure station, I was sandwiched in the middle of a large group of silver-haired old men and old women, drinking free beer and juice, watching them play cards and chatting, and enjoying the joy of "set sun red" with them. Between the world, the Gan train is like a meteor, slipping lonely across central Australia. Waking up in the morning, Gan stopped on the tracks of only one warehouse, the stop point Marla (Marla), is a super beautiful sunrise viewing point in no man's land. It was not dawn yet, the open air had been lit with bonfires and heating lights, breakfast was prepared, and the whole car was gradually coming down. Everyone was holding the hot coffee, biting sandwiches, and waiting for the sunrise on a large open red land. It was really beautiful to stifling scenery. With the first rays of morning light, I watched the pure and pure souls of central Australia. I got off at Alice Springs station and happened to be interviewing local television to film the trip. Leaving the whistle of the Gan, and leaving the desert where there are no camels today, but I still heard the camel ringing from afar. #Train Travel #Attractions in the old photos #Discover the color of the journey #Views outside the window #New ways you have never seen

    I have seen the movie for the "Oriental Express" for a long time. I heard that Shanghai's new group "travel Europe by train" is difficult to find. We got on a luxury train in Australia "sit first as fast" and had an addiction! The Ghan train, which has been in history for more than 80 years, starts from Adelaide and runs north and south to the terminal: Darwin takes 2 days and 2 nights, and we go to see Uluru "Big Stone" and then go to Alice Springs Station to take a car for a day and a night, but it is just a day and a night to enjoy the experience. On the luxury train, you can lie in your own single box and enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way, hit a few small bumps; you can also make an appointment with the same car friends to move to the train bar connected to the dining car at any time, order a free "Benfu" red wine tasting, chatting. If you are not happy, you can also wait for the diner to open the door, seafood cold lamb chops mushroom pie chocolate dessert and whiskey, delicious free dinner waiting for appreciation. You can go back to the car and take a hot bath and you can enter the "single room" in the single bed that the conductor has already laid. When you are still dreaming with the rhythm of the train, a "sunrise party" stopped in the desert wilderness in the early morning will be held: tourists around the gas heating lights carefully prepared by the luxury train, eating sandwiches, drinking hot coffee, waiting for the red sun to emerge from the east. I believe that I just want to shout at this time: (good) ~~~!
