🚂 New Oriental Express Xuelian: A slow-moving journey across the Tianshan Mountains
In this fast-paced era, more and more people are longing for a “slow down” way of traveling — no need to pack luggage every day, change hotels, or catch early buses. Just sleep peacefully and wake up at the next scenic destination. The newly upgraded 2026 New Oriental Express Xuelian is exactly such a high-end tourist train that combines comfort, depth, and convenience, hailed as a “mobile luxury hotel.”
This train is created by the Xinjiang Railway “Tianshan Xuelian” service brand. The entire train features private compartments with en-suite bathrooms, and is equipped with dining cars, observation cars, bar and entertainment areas, and other functional spaces. By day, passengers explore scenic areas in depth; by night, they return to the train to rest, truly achieving an immersive experience of “the train moves with you, and scenery changes along the way.”
🌄 Route highlights:See Xinjiang’s diverse landscapes in one trip
The New Oriental Express Xuelian connects the snowy mountains and lakes of northern Xinjiang, the ancient cities and plateaus of southern Xinjiang, and the historical sites of eastern Xinjiang, covering core Xinjiang attractions such as Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Duku Highway, Pamir Plateau, Kashgar Old City, and Turpan. Whether it’s the lush greenery of summer or the golden poplar leaves of autumn, you can find your own scenery along this route.
The itinerary places special emphasis on a relaxed pace and cultural experiences, arranging visits to ethnic families, intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, and specialty food banquets, allowing visitors not just to “see” but to “feel” the warmth and depth of Xinjiang. For middle-aged and elderly groups, family trips, or travelers seeking quality leisure, this “travel by day, ride by night + full-journey accompaniment” model greatly reduces the burden of travel.
