New Oriental Express Snow Lotus:2027 Xinjiang Panoramic In-Depth Tour New Experience✨
Train Introduction:A moving “five-star home”
The New Oriental Express Snow Lotus was fully upgraded in 2026, with “high-end tourist train” as its core positioning, designed specifically for middle-aged and elderly tourists and families seeking quality and comfort. The train is built to international standards. The exterior livery blends the gradient colors of Xinjiang’s snow mountains and grasslands, while the interior uses warm tones, paired with custom carpets and solid wood decorations, creating a warm home-like atmosphere. The entire train is equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, and 24-hour hot water. Each carriage has an entertainment area, dining car, and onboard doctor’s room, making it worthy of being called a “moving five-star hotel.”
The train’s biggest highlight is “included private bathroom in designated cabin categories within the itinerary,” completely solving the inconvenience of nighttime toilet use on traditional tourist trains. In addition, the train uses quiet shock-absorption technology, so bumps are almost imperceptible while running, making it especially suitable for tourists who cannot ride in cars for long periods. In 2027, a new “Snow Lotus” themed carriage will be added, offering displays of Xinjiang specialty handicrafts and ethnic music performances, adding more cultural interest to the journey.
