✨ Route features introduction
The upgraded 2026 New Oriental Express is a tourist train integrating accommodation, dining, leisure, and sightseeing. The entire train features private bathroom compartment designs, equipped with dining cars, kitchen-living cars, and entertainment cars. It operates on a “travel by night, sightsee by day” model — smooth nighttime travel saves transit time, while daytime is focused on visiting core attractions. Throughout the journey, there’s no need to change berths, move luggage, or repeatedly check in and out of hotels, making it ideal for travelers who prefer a slower pace and don’t want to rush through their itinerary.
The train’s service configuration is also well-rounded. Each carriage has a dedicated butler, and the entire journey includes dual tour guides and onboard medical staff who can promptly respond to travelers’ needs. Meals on board can be adjusted in advance based on dietary habits and health conditions. The compartments come in three types, all equipped with wet-dry separated bathrooms and large panoramic windows. The Zungui Gold Diamond (3-custom carriage) has 3 compartments per carriage, each about 12 square meters; the Xiyue Gold Diamond (4-custom carriage) has 4 compartments per carriage, each about 10 square meters; and the Boyue Gold Diamond (5-custom carriage) has 5 compartments per carriage, each about 8 square meters. All compartments feature multi-functional storage space and leisure tables and chairs, balancing privacy and comfort.
This year, the New Oriental Express routes cover many famous attractions across northern and southern Xinjiang, including natural landscapes such as grasslands, lakes, and canyons in northern Xinjiang, as well as ancient cities, poplar forests, and cultural heritage sites in southern Xinjiang, allowing travelers to deeply experience Xinjiang’s natural beauty and cultural atmosphere. Additionally, in 2026, many popular scenic areas in Xinjiang will implement real-name reservation systems. Traveling with the train means ticket quotas and shuttle bus schedules are coordinated in advance, so you don’t need to compete for tickets yourself, saving a lot of itinerary planning hassle.
