“Many tourists ask me: is there a big difference between the Xiyue Gold Diamond and Boyue Gold Diamond on the New Oriental Express? Actually, these two room types are like a ‘comfort sedan’ and a ‘luxury SUV’ — the core functions are the same, but the details and experience are completely different.” Manager Wang Fei used a vivid analogy to explain the essential differences between the two popular room types on the 2026 Xinjiang tourist train. This article will reveal the true differences between these two room types from three dimensions — space design, supporting services, and itinerary suitability — combined with the latest 2026 field test data.
I. Space Design: From “Adequate” to “Enjoyable”
Xiyue Gold Diamond:“Mobile Living Room” for Family Travel
【Core Specifications】
4 cabins per carriage, capacity 8 people
Cabin area approximately 10 square meters (including bathroom)
Bed dimensions:2m × 0.85m single bed (can be combined into a 2m × 1.7m double bed)
Bathroom area:Shower 1.06㎡ + toilet 1.5㎡
【Field Test Experience】
“Our family of four stayed in the Xiyue Gold Diamond, and the most pleasant surprise was the bathroom space.” Ms. Zhang from Shanghai reported after her June 2026 trip, “The shower can fit two people at once, seniors don’t have to bend over to bathe, and kids have plenty of room to change clothes.” This room type uses an “L-shaped layout” that naturally separates the sleeping area from the lounge area. The included lounge table and chairs can be expanded into a temporary work desk, suitable for business travelers who need to handle work.

Cabin area approximately 8 square meters (including bathroom)

【Field Test Experience】
“The smart system in the Boyue Gold Diamond is very thoughtful.” Guide Mr. Li, who led a tour in July 2026, introduced, “Details like voice-controlled lighting and damped drawers give the basic room type a premium feel.” This room type uses a “vertical space optimization” design. With the lower bunk raised 30 centimeters, suitcases can be slid directly underneath, and folding up the upper bunk frees up 1.5 meters of walking space, avoiding the cramped feeling of traditional bunk beds.
