🚂 【New Oriental Express Xuelian No.:A mobile viewing platform across the Tianshan Mountains, the comfort experience behind price differences】🚂
As the train slowly departs from Urumqi Station, the view outside changes from Gobi desert to snow-capped mountains and grasslands, while inside the carriage is another exquisite world — bathrooms, panoramic windows, Michelin-level dining. This is the “land cruise” experience created by the New Oriental Express Xuelian No. As the “golden signboard” of Xinjiang tourism, Xuelian No. not only sets new standards for premium trains with its hardware configuration, but also offers travel plans suitable for different budgets through seasonal price adjustments.
🌄 【Route Highlights:A Mobile “Xinjiang Encyclopedia”】
The Xuelian No. train adopts the golden design of “stopping at attractions during the day, traveling at night,” with a 14-day itinerary connecting three core regions: Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang, and the Yili grasslands, covering over 20 5A-rated scenic areas including Tianshan Tianchi, Sayram Lake, and Duku Highway. Unlike regular trains, Xuelian No. uses customized tracks that can reach hidden spots inaccessible to regular vehicles, such as the log cabins within the Kanas scenic area and the morning mist viewing platform in Hemu Village, saving travelers the hassle of transferring to shuttle buses.
The carriage design is truly a “mobile five-star hotel”: the Gold Diamond carriage has 3 private compartments per car, equipped with bathrooms, 24-hour hot water, and humidifiers; the Blue Diamond carriage has 4-person rooms with bunk beds, and shared bathrooms are used by every 4 people, maintaining high privacy. The entire train uses shock absorption and noise reduction technology, remaining stable even on rugged sections like the Duku Highway. The dining car offers a diverse menu, with Xinjiang specialties such as baked buns, hand-pulled rice, and big plate chicken freshly prepared by local chefs, paired with brick tea brewed with Tianshan snow water, allowing your taste buds to embark on a deep journey as well.
