🚂 【New Oriental Express Xuelian No.:A mobile “five-star home” unlocking a new way to explore Xinjiang in depth】🚂
Xinjiang, a vast region covering one-sixth of China’s territory, is home to stunning snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and lakes. Yet its sheer size and scattered attractions often deter travelers. How can you explore Xinjiang both effortlessly and in depth? The fully upgraded 2026 “New Oriental Express Xuelian No.” provides the answer—this tourist train, dubbed by travelers as a “mobile five-star hotel,” uses a “play by day + travel by night” model to make your Xinjiang journey more comfortable and efficient!
🌄 【Route Highlights:14 days across northern and southern Xinjiang, unlocking classic + hidden gems】🌄
The itinerary of the New Oriental Express Xuelian No. is practically a “Xinjiang panorama textbook,” connecting over 14 days the core attractions of Urumqi, Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Duku Highway, Kashgar Old City, and the Pamir Plateau, while also incorporating lesser-known spots like Jiaohe Ancient City, Loulan Museum, and Tarim Poplar Forest. Balancing nature and culture, it suits families, photography enthusiasts, and senior travelers alike.
📍 Seasonal advantages:
Xinjiang is beautiful year-round, but June to October is the golden travel period. In summer (June–August), grasslands are lush and wildflowers bloom everywhere, with the Duku Highway fully open; in autumn (September–October), Kanas is ablaze with fall colors and the southern Xinjiang poplar forests turn golden; in winter (November–February), though cold, the snowscapes are pristine—ideal for ski enthusiasts (please confirm train schedules in advance).
📍 Who it suits:
“Lazy travelers” who don’t want to keep changing hotels or lugging luggage
“Planners” who want deep exploration but worry about self-driving road conditions
Families traveling with parents or children
Photography enthusiasts (the train runs at night, leaving ample daytime for sightseeing)

🚂【New Oriental Express Xuelian No.: A mobile “five-star home” unlocking a new way to explore Xinjiang in depth】🚂🛏 ️【Xuelian No. soft sleeper configuration:A “mobile palace” more thoughtful than a hotel】🛏️
The Xuelian No. is the new carriage of the New Oriental Express in 2026, centered on “premium comfort.” The soft sleeper compartments are practically a “mobile five-star home”:
✨ Private bathroom with 24-hour hot water:
Each carriage is recommended to have 3–4 compartments (Zungui Gold Diamond: 3 compartments/carriage; Xiyue Gold Diamond: 4 compartments/carriage), each equipped with a private bathroom, thermostatic shower, and toilet—solving the traditional train’s “hard-to-shower” pain point, especially for families with seniors or children.
✨ Spacious with thoughtful details:
Compartments are approximately 8–10 m², nearly double the size of standard soft sleepers, featuring a 1.5-meter double bed (Zungui Gold Diamond) or a 1-meter single bed (Xiyue Gold Diamond). Bedding uses high-thread-count cotton, soft and skin-friendly; bedside USB charging ports, reading lights, and call buttons let you summon the attendant anytime at night.
✨ Large viewing windows to catch every frame of scenery:
Windows feature double-layer soundproof glass, insulating and noise-reducing. During the day, draw the curtains to see snow mountains, grasslands, and lakes unfold like a painting—every shot is a masterpiece.
✨ Public areas for both socializing and relaxation:
The carriage includes a scenic lounge, bar, KTV, and small meeting room where guests can enjoy tea, chat, admire views, or join onboard cultural lectures and craft workshops—no more boring journeys.
