As the last glow of sunset faded from the golden roof of the Potala Palace, the night in Lhasa began to awaken. Tourists from various places strolled through Potala Palace Square, the corners of Barkhor Street, and amidst the neon-lit food stalls of Yutuo Road, experiencing the unique charm of a night tour on the snowy plateau.

Now, there's a brand-new way to enjoy this experience. On September 30th, the Lhasa "Double-Decker Gourmet Theme Sightseeing Bus," based on the Ankai E12S all-electric double-decker sightseeing bus, was officially launched. It packages "gourmet food + beautiful scenery + a sense of ceremony" into a one-stop service, offering tourists a completely new perspective to appreciate the charm of the Holy City.

The Lhasa "Double-Decker Gourmet Theme Sightseeing Bus" features "China Red" as its main visual theme, adorned with iconic imagery such as the black-necked crane, smiling faces of Lhasa children, and the Potala Palace, creating a moving city name card. Built on the Ankai E12S all-electric double-decker sightseeing bus platform, it leverages its spacious and open double-decker structure to provide a more comfortable and environmentally friendly sightseeing journey. The vehicle is also equipped with a high-definition LED display screen to promote Lhasa's scenic spots and culture, allowing the city's image to travel with the bus.

Stepping inside the E12S, the first floor is a multi-functional service area, including a restroom, cultural and creative product display, and a chef's preparation zone. The second floor is the dining area, offering a warm and elegant atmosphere. The bus is also equipped with a professional audio-visual system and a dedicated performance area to present wonderful folk performances for tourists. For added peace of mind, the vehicle is specially outfitted with an oxygen production system, allowing passengers to enjoy the food and scenery without worrying about altitude sickness.

The Lhasa "Double-Decker Gourmet Theme Sightseeing Bus" has meticulously planned four themed routes: "Lhasa Time Shadow Tour," "A Leisurely Half-Day: Encountering Lhasa," "Night Tour: Lights of Lhasa," and "Night Lhasa·Vibrant Night," covering both daytime and nighttime tours to suit different schedules and diverse travel needs. Passengers can not only listen to professional commentary and enjoy the flowing scenery outside the window but also appreciate cultural performances, savor exquisite meals and specialty teas/coffees, and receive beautifully crafted cultural and creative souvenirs, achieving a deep integration of "scenery, route, and experience."

The newly launched "Double-Decker Gourmet Theme Sightseeing Bus" routes connect several famous Lhasa landmarks, including the Heaven-Sent Post Office, Potala Palace, Chagpo Ri Hill, Norbulingka, and Tibet Museum. To meet the demands of long-distance tours, the E12S model is equipped with high-capacity, high-safety power batteries. This not only meets the operational mileage requirements for all themed routes throughout the day but also easily adapts to Lhasa's unique plateau climate and geographical conditions, robustly ensuring the stability and continuity of multiple "day + night" route operations.

The vehicle provides a quiet and serene riding environment, thanks to the smooth operation of the E12S's all-electric drive. Passengers can embark on a multi-sensory journey encompassing "travel, sightseeing, tasting, and listening" within this tranquil space. Simultaneously, its green power core achieves zero emissions and low noise during operation, actively helping to preserve the blue skies and peaceful atmosphere of the snowy sacred land.

In fact, the innovative practices of this safe, green, and comfortable double-decker bus in integrating city sightseeing with gourmet experiences extend far beyond this. In Haikou, it transforms into a moving "Old Dad Tea House," allowing passengers to enjoy tea and snacks while admiring the street scenes in a retro-South-East Asian style cabin. In Beijing, it evolves into a "Moving Michelin Restaurant," letting passengers savor freshly prepared Western-style steaks under a panoramic sunroof.

Transcending the conventional definition of "transport," the Ankai E12S has already become a canvas for cultural and tourism practices in multiple locations. Looking ahead, Ankai Bus will use scenarios as the paper and experiences as the ink, facilitating the deep transformation of "transport + culture & tourism" towards an "experience economy" and "scenario revolution," painting a new, more captivating, and higher value-added picture for the cultural and tourism industry.
