轨道观光小火车是一种以观光体验为核心功能，依托固定轨道运行的小型交通工具，广泛应用于景区、主题公园、度假村、大型文旅综合体等场所。它不仅承担基础的交通接驳作用，更通过独特的设计风格、缓慢的行驶速度和沉浸式的观景体验，成为提升区域游览品质的核心配套设施，是 “移动观景平台” 与 “休闲代步工具” 的结合体。

需依赖提前铺设的专用轨道（区别于公路行驶的无轨观光车），轨道形式多为窄轨（常见轨距 762mm、900mm），少数为标准轨；动力来源以电力为主（锂电池、柴油发电机组），模拟复古体验。

区别于城市轨道交通的 “高效通勤” 和工业轨道车的 “货物运输”，其核心价值在于 “观光”—— 行驶速度通常控制在 5-10km/h，确保乘客能清晰欣赏沿途景观；路线设计多串联核心景点、游客中心、停车场等关键节点，既解决 “最后一公里” 交通问题，又避免游客徒步疲劳。

The sightseeing mini-train is a small vehicle that operates on fixed tracks, with sightseeing experience as its core function. It is widely used in scenic spots, theme parks, resorts, large-scale cultural tourism complexes, and other places. It not only serves as a basic transportation connection, but also, through its unique design style, slow driving speed, and immersive sightseeing experience, becomes a core supporting facility for enhancing the quality of regional tourism. It is a combination of a "mobile sightseeing platform" and a "leisure means of transportation".

Need to rely on pre laid dedicated tracks (different from trackless sightseeing vehicles on highways), with narrow gauge tracks (commonly 762mm and 900mm gauge) and a few standard gauge tracks; The main source of power is electricity (lithium batteries, diesel generators), simulating a retro experience.

Different from the "efficient commuting" of urban rail transit and the "cargo transportation" of industrial rail transit, its core value lies in "sightseeing" - the driving speed is usually controlled at 5-10km/h to ensure that passengers can clearly enjoy the scenery along the way; The route design often connects key nodes such as core scenic spots, tourist centers, and parking lots, which not only solves the "last mile" traffic problem but also avoids tourist fatigue during hiking.
