🚞 New Oriental Express Snow Lotus travel guide:Say goodbye to the hassle of moving luggage and easily tour both Northern and Southern Xinjiang
Many tourists who want to visit Xinjiang have been put off by the problem of repeatedly moving large luggage during the ten-plus-day journey across the north and south: dragging big suitcases to catch trains, changing hotels, going up and down stairs—half their energy is spent before they even start enjoying the scenery. The New Oriental Express Snow Lotus, upgraded and launched in 2026, has specifically optimized services for the luggage pain points of long-distance travel. The full-journey luggage handling service lets tourists no longer worry about luggage trivialities and truly travel light.
As a representative of domestic high-end customized tourist trains, the New Oriental Express is called a “mobile living space” by many tourists. It adopts the operating model of “traveling by night and touring by day, with the train following the scenery.” The train runs along the core cultural tourism routes of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, stopping at stations during the day for tourists to get off and tour, and running at night to the next destination, saving daytime travel time and reducing the trouble of frequently changing accommodation. The full-journey luggage handling service covers the entire travel process:
✅ After tourists arrive in Urumqi, the reception staff will assist in moving luggage to the hotel, so you don’t have to drag your suitcase to find the shuttle bus yourself
✅ When boarding the special train, it is recommended to hand large luggage to on-site staff. They will deliver the luggage directly to the exclusive storage area of the corresponding compartment, so you don’t have to carry heavy boxes through the long and narrow carriage aisles yourself
✅ Throughout the journey, large luggage can be placed on the luggage racks or customized storage spaces in the special train compartment. For daily outings, you only need to carry a small bag with sunscreen, camera, drinking water, etc., and you don’t need to pack and organize large luggage every day
✅ When staying at scenic area or local city hotels midway, staff will deliver the luggage tourists need to the corresponding hotel in advance, with no need to move it yourself throughout the process
✅ At the end of the itinerary, when sending tourists to the airport or station, staff will also organize the luggage in advance and deliver it to tourists, so you don’t have to drag your suitcase to catch transport yourself
The compartments of the special train have also been optimized for luggage storage. Compartments of different classes are equipped with exclusive luggage racks or storage spaces. The Golden Diamond compartment also has a large-capacity customized wardrobe, so whether it is large suitcases or winter coats, there is a place to put them, without piling them on beds or in aisles and affecting the living experience. In addition to luggage services, the special train is also equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, and humidification systems. The dining car provides meals with different flavors such as light, mildly spicy, and heavily spicy. The tour is equipped with basic first-aid kits and staff with first-aid skills. The itinerary pace is relaxed, with an average daily ground drive of no more than 4 hours, suitable for family trips, elderly tourists, in-depth travel enthusiasts, and other different groups.
In 2026, all core scenic areas in Xinjiang implement a reservation admission policy. Sayram Lake requires ticket reservation 3 to 7 days in advance. In summer, social vehicles are not allowed to drive into Kanas Scenic Area. Passage through the northern section of the Duku Highway requires a reserved quota in advance. For group tours, all scenic area reservations and passage quota applications are handled in advance by staff, so tourists do not need to grab tickets themselves at the last minute, avoiding the situation of being unable to enter the scenic area upon arrival.
