🚂 Attention friends planning an in-depth trip to Xinjiang in 2026! Many people complain that Xinjiang tourism involves exhausting journeys of over a thousand kilometers, the hassle of changing hotels and carrying luggage, and the tedious process of coordinating scenic area reservations when planning. This year’s newly upgraded New Oriental Express train can just solve these travel pain points, helping you easily visit the core attractions across northern and southern Xinjiang.
📍 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
As a core tourist train product developed by Xinjiang Railway, the New Oriental Express has been well received by many tourists since its launch. In 2026, the railway department has specially upgraded the train cars, with 2 newly built trains put into operation. A total of 35 trips are planned throughout the year, operating regularly from April to October with an average of 3 trips per month, meeting travel needs at different times.
This year’s upgraded train truly delivers the “mobile hotel” experience. All cabins come standard with private bathrooms featuring wet-dry separation design, balancing privacy and hygiene, completely solving the problem of inconvenient washing up during travel. For family travelers and groups, the train has specially added family connecting rooms, which can meet the need for family togetherness while also preserving personal space. In addition, the train is equipped with a dome star-themed dining car, kitchen-living car, and multi-functional bar car. During the journey, you can enjoy customized specialty cuisine and relax with a drink in the bar car while taking in the ever-changing Xinjiang scenery outside the window. The naming of the cabins incorporates Silk Road cultural elements, paired with corresponding themed paintings and soft furnishings, allowing you to feel the profound cultural heritage during the ride.
Service configurations have also been optimized this year. Each carriage is equipped with a dedicated butler, and professional doctors accompany the entire tour. If tourists feel unwell or need service, they can call promptly through the dedicated device in the carriage, and staff will provide assistance immediately. Meal plans on the train and on the ground are communicated with tourists one by one in advance, allowing meals to be precisely tailored to tourists’ physical conditions and dietary habits. There are also intangible cultural heritage experiences such as mulberry bark paper rubbing, travel photo commemorative albums, and other value-added services, comprehensively enhancing the travel experience. When tourists get off to sightsee, they can also experience ethnic welcome activities, immersing themselves in the local friendly atmosphere.
The train covers more than 20 core scenic spots in northern and southern Xinjiang, adopting an operation model of “depart in the evening, arrive in the morning, scenery follows the train.” Most travel time is scheduled at night, leaving ample daytime for sightseeing. There’s no need to repeatedly pack luggage or change accommodations, and no need to endure long hours of highway travel. It’s suitable for tourists of all ages. In 2026, all core scenic areas in Xinjiang are operating normally. Currently, all top-tier scenic areas implement a real-name reservation policy. Tour staff will assist tourists with reservations in advance, so there’s no need to do it yourself, avoiding the situation of arriving at a scenic area but being unable to enter.
