New Oriental Express:A luxury mobile palace crossing Xinjiang, unlocking a new 2027 in-depth travel experience✨
I. Train Positioning: Redefining the “quality” of Xinjiang travel
The New Oriental Express is not an ordinary tourist train, but China’s first “land cruise-level” high-end travel project. Its positioning directly targets travelers seeking a comfortable experience—bringing hotels, restaurants, and entertainment facilities onto the rails, using the concept of a “mobile palace” to break the exhausting model of traditional Xinjiang travel featuring “long-distance rushing + sightseeing check-ins.” The train covers the entire journey’s food, accommodation, and transportation in the form of “one price including designated items within the itinerary.” Tourists do not need to worry about transportation connections, hotel bookings, or dining arrangements, truly achieving the worry-free experience of “rest on board, play off board.”
II. Full Analysis of Compartments: From Bathrooms to Panoramic Views, Every Detail Is Covered
The train is divided into two major categories: luxury and comfort, with a total of 13 carriages, each equipped with bathrooms, completely bidding farewell to the “public shower room” era of traditional special trains.

Prestige Gold Diamond Three-Compartment: Each carriage recommends 3 compartments, with a capacity of 6 people. The compartment area is about 12 square meters, equipped with a 2m × 1.7m large bed (which can be split into two single beds), a leisure sofa, and a bathroom (dry-wet separation, shower room 1.06 square meters).
