New Orient Express Tour of Xinjiang:A Mobile ‘Five-Star’ Travel Experience
Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
The New Orient Express, a luxury tourist train hailed as a ‘mobile star-rated hotel,’ after its upgrade in 2025, continues to traverse the magnificent landscapes of Xinjiang in 2026 with a brand-new look. It is not just a mode of transportation but a ‘mobile travel complex’ integrating accommodation, dining, entertainment, and sightseeing, allowing tourists to deeply experience the diverse charm of Xinjiang in a comfortable environment.
The train departs from Urumqi, passing through Kanas, Hemu, and Burqin in northern Xinjiang, Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, and the Taklamakan Desert in southern Xinjiang, as well as Turpan and Hami in eastern Xinjiang, covering over 80% of Xinjiang’s core scenic spots. Along the way, tourists can enjoy top-tier natural scenery of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and deserts, and also visit settlements of various ethnic groups to experience unique folk cultures.
The train’s design is particularly impressive:The entire train features two types of carriages: Gold Diamond and Blue Diamond. Gold Diamond carriages are private compartments with king-size beds, bathrooms, 24-hour hot water, and large viewing windows; Blue Diamond carriages are 4-person compartments with shared bathrooms, but equally comfortable and cozy. Additionally, the train has public areas such as a bar car, dining car, KTV, and a large observation car, where tourists can enjoy Xinjiang specialties, participate in cultural activities, or quietly admire the scenery outside the window.
