The New Oriental Express · Xuelian is a distinctive tourist special train focused on long-distance leisure slow travel in China, jointly developed by the railway system and professional cultural tourism institutions, designed for travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and in-depth experiences. The train operates on a “travel by day, ride by night” model:During the day, it stops at core scenic areas for passengers to explore in depth; at night, the train moves slowly forward while passengers sleep soundly in their private cabins, arriving at the next destination the following morning.
