CHINA: High-end tourist train operator Golden Eagle Luxury Trains is returning to China with the launch of a range of tours on its Golden Eagle Silk Road Express. ‘Our return to China is one of the most important developments in Golden Eagle’s recent history’, said Product Development Director James Masterson. These journeys combine remarkable destinations, immersive cultural experiences and the exceptional hospitality for which Golden Eagle is known.’ The company’s flagship Grand Silk Road itinerary connects China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan using both its Golden Eagle Express and Silk Road Express luxury trains in a 22 to 25 day itinerary through five countries. The operator said ‘with currently no luxury 5* hotels in Central Asia, Golden Eagle is providing a wave of new high net worth travellers to this remarkable developing region’.
