Complete Guide to the New Oriental Express Special Train:Unlock a new slow travel experience along the Xinjiang Silk Road✨
I. Detailed Introduction to the New Oriental Express Special Train
The New Oriental Express is a distinctive tourist special train in China focused on long-distance leisure slow travel, redefining Xinjiang travel with the concept of a “moving light luxury hotel.” The newly upgraded “Snow Lotus” special train for 2026 adopts the golden model of traveling at night and sightseeing during the day, connecting the lakes and mountains of northern Xinjiang with the cultural hidden gems of southern Xinjiang.
The special train is specially designed with 14-16 hours of nighttime travel, allowing tourists to sleep peacefully in comfortable compartments and arrive directly at core scenic areas the next morning. This travel style of “sleeping within the scenery, waking within a painting” eliminates the hassle of packing luggage every day and avoids the fatigue of long-distance self-driving, making it especially suitable for seniors, family trips, and travelers pursuing quality.
