According to the latest on-site information from 2026, the New Oriental Express Snow Lotus has a total of 18 carriages, including a multi-functional entertainment carriage and a bar carriage. This carriage is not simply furnished with a few bar stools, but is a composite space integrating light socializing, sightseeing, casual drinks, and cultural experiences:

Equipped with comfortable sofa booths, perfect for small groups of travel companions to sit and chat;

It is worth mentioning that the bar carriage has no mandatory consumption and no minimum spending threshold; passengers can come and go freely. For travelers who prefer quiet solitude or lively conversation with companions, this is a rare “third space” on the train.
