🌄 [Route Highlights:Why Choose the New Oriental Express?]
While ordinary trains still suffer from the stereotype of ‘sleep on board, take photos off board,’ the New Oriental Express has already upgraded train travel into an immersive cultural feast. As the ‘golden business card’ of Xinjiang tourism, this train is built to the standard of a ‘mobile five-star hotel.’ The entire train uses 25G air-conditioned carriages, equipped with bathrooms, large viewing windows, constant-temperature air conditioning, and even entertainment facilities like a bar, KTV, and observation restaurant. The newly upgraded ‘Diamond Carriage’ in 2026 introduces an intelligent temperature control system and panoramic skylight, allowing passengers to gaze at the stars from their berths and experience the romance of ‘traveling in a painting.’
