New Oriental Express:A moving ‘five-star home’ 🚂✨ traversing Xinjiang
Train Introduction:Redefining ‘quality’ for Xinjiang travel
‘Can you really stay in a five-star hotel on a train?’ The New Oriental Express, known as a ‘moving high-end hotel,’ has become a ‘phenomenal’ presence in Xinjiang tourism since its complete upgrade in 2026. It is not an ordinary train but a ‘land cruise’ designed specifically for in-depth travel in Xinjiang. The entire train features a ‘one carriage, one theme’ design, with paintwork inspired by Xinjiang’s snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and silk, creating a flowing carriage that resembles a moving painting.
The train’s biggest highlight is its ‘en-suite bathrooms for designated itinerary items’—a rare feature among domestic special trains. Each carriage is equipped with a dedicated butler, providing 24-hour hot water, luggage assistance, and other services. The dining car features an ‘open kitchen’ design, allowing tourists to watch chefs prepare Xinjiang specialties like大盘鸡 (Big Plate Chicken) and烤包子 (roasted stuffed buns), and even customize birthday cakes or anniversary dinners. The entertainment carriage includes a KTV, book bar, and observation skylight. At night, lying on the sofa, you can gaze at the interplay of stars and the Gobi desert above.
