“New Oriental Express” 2026 New Schedule:A Moving Scenic Line Through Northern Xinjiang
Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
Since its upgrade in 2025, the New Oriental Express has become a popular choice for in-depth Northern Xinjiang tours, thanks to its “panoramic glass carriages + mobile viewing platform” design. In April 2026, the train will launch a new schedule, focusing on “Northern Xinjiang Loop + Seasonal Limited Experiences,” covering three core scenic areas: Kanas, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland. The itinerary specially adds spring apricot blossom valley and Ili River valley wildflower sea viewing spots, suitable for photography enthusiasts and nature explorers.
The train adopts an “all-inclusive itinerary items” model, covering full accommodation, meals, scenic area tickets, and dedicated shuttle service. Carriages are divided into “Gold Diamond Carriages” and “Blue Diamond Carriages”: Gold Diamond carriages are 2-person compartments with private bathroom, large viewing windows, and intelligent temperature control system; Blue Diamond carriages are 4-person soft sleeper compartments with shared public bathroom, offering higher cost-effectiveness. Each carriage is equipped with a dedicated butler providing 24-hour service.
The train’s daily operating time is flexible, adjusting stop durations based on scenic area opening hours. For example, at Kanas Scenic Area, there is a 12-hour stop, allowing visitors to freely choose hiking, horseback riding, or boat tours; Sayram Lake has two stops in the early morning and evening to avoid peak crowds and capture the lake scenery under different lighting conditions.
