As a representative of Xinjiang’s high-end tourist trains, the New Oriental Express is designed with the concept of ‘the train moves with the scenery, and passengers travel with the train,’ deeply integrating luxury accommodation, specialty dining, and Xinjiang’s magnificent landscapes. The train features fully enclosed carriages equipped with bathrooms, large observation windows, constant-temperature air conditioning, and 24-hour butler service, earning it the title of ‘land cruise.’ The newly upgraded ‘Gold Diamond Series’ carriages in 2026 introduce smart control systems and panoramic skylights, allowing passengers to enjoy multiple landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, gobi deserts, and lakes in comfort.
The train route covers core scenic areas including Altay and Kanas in northern Xinjiang, Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau in southern Xinjiang, and Turpan in eastern Xinjiang, covering over 80% of Xinjiang’s 5A-level attractions. The itinerary specially arranges cultural interaction activities such as visits to various ethnic families and intangible cultural heritage handicraft experiences, allowing passengers to deeply immerse themselves in both natural landscapes and cultural customs.
