While traditional train travel is still competing on “speed,” the New Oriental Express has long pushed the concept of a “mobile five-star hotel” to new heights. This luxury special train, built with hundreds of millions of yuan, centers on “Golden Diamond Compartments,” connects the essence of North and South Xinjiang attractions, and uses “slow travel” to let tourists immersively experience the vastness and diversity of Xinjiang.

Butler-style service:Each carriage is equipped with a dedicated butler, providing “one-on-one” services such as luggage handling, wake-up service, and attraction commentary, so you do not need to worry about trivial matters throughout the journey.
Excellent privacy:Each departure recommends receiving over a hundred tourists, avoiding crowded crowds, and is suitable for mid-to-high-end customers seeking quality.
