New Oriental Express:A mobile high-end hotel crossing Xinjiang✨
Train introduction:A mobile “five-star home”
The New Oriental Express is Xinjiang’s first high-end tourist train. After a brand-new upgrade in 2026, it debuts with a dual fleet of “Luxury” and “Comfort” carriages, focusing on the slow travel concept of “no need to carry luggage throughout the trip, and a worry-free tour with designated items included in one price.” The train’s exterior adopts a flowing silk design, integrating color elements of Xinjiang’s snow mountains, grasslands, and populus euphratica forests, and is called a “mobile art gallery.”
As the “flagship product” of Xinjiang tourism, the train is positioned for high-end family trips, silver-haired travelers, and quality-seeking tourists, offering the unique experience of “the train follows the scenery, traveling by night and touring by day.” The 2027 schedules cover April to October, including classic routes such as Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, Ili grasslands, and the populus euphratica forests of Southern Xinjiang. Itineraries range from 12 to 14 days, suitable for in-depth travel enthusiasts.
