Complete Guide to the New Oriental Express Special Train:A mobile “five-star hotel” for immersive slow travel in Xinjiang ✨
I. Detailed Introduction to the New Oriental Express Special Train
The New Oriental Express is a representative of China’s high-end long-distance tourist special trains. After being upgraded to the “Snow Lotus” in 2026, it positions itself as a “mobile five-star hotel,” focusing on a slow travel model of “in-depth sightseeing by day and comfortable travel by night.” The special train covers the core scenic belts of northern and southern Xinjiang, connecting natural and cultural landmarks such as the Tianshan Mountains, Kanas, the Pamir Plateau, and the Tarim Poplar Forest. The itinerary is designed to avoid the tight pace of traditional tour groups, allowing tourists to complete intercity transportation while the train moves, so that during the day they can devote themselves fully to sightseeing without frequently packing luggage or dealing with transfers. The special train is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly groups, family trips, and in-depth travelers seeking quality, and has now become a popular choice in Xinjiang’s high-end tourism market.
