🚂 New Oriental Express Xuelian: One berth all the way — a new slow-travel style without moving luggage
On the vast land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cities are scattered throughout, but the distances between attractions often span hundreds of kilometers, trapping tourists in a tiring cycle of “two hours of sightseeing, eight hours of driving.” The fully upgraded 2026 New Oriental Express Xuelian, however, is redefining in-depth Xinjiang travel as a “mobile five-star hotel” — one berth all the way, no need to move luggage, sightseeing by day and sleeping soundly on the train at night, truly achieving a relaxed rhythm of “the train follows the traveler, and the scenery moves with the train.”
📍 Routes and Destinations Overview:The essential corridor across the Tianshan Mountains
The New Oriental Express starts from Urumqi, spanning northern, southern, and eastern Xinjiang, connecting over 80% of Xinjiang’s 5A-rated scenic areas. From Keketuohai in Altay to the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu, from the azure mystery of Kanas Lake to Sayram Lake’s “the last tear of the Atlantic,” to the White Sand Lake on the Pamir Plateau, the Stone City in Tashkurgan, and the Flaming Mountains and Jiaohe Ancient City in Turpan — this route not only covers natural wonders but also delves deep into cultural heartlands.
It is particularly worth noting that the 2026 itinerary fully considers seasonal characteristics: the summer edition focuses on northern Xinjiang landscapes + Duku Highway + southern Xinjiang charm, while October focuses on southern Xinjiang poplar forests, Loulan culture, and the jade town of Hotan. All attractions are given ample visiting time to avoid a rushed, superficial experience. For example, at Kanas you can freely hike the Three Bays, and in Kashgar’s Old City you can immerse yourself in century-old teahouses and artisan streets.
The train uses a “train + bus” transfer model — comfortable air-conditioned buses take you deep into scenic areas by day, and you return to the train to rest at night. This “day tour, night travel” design is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists, families, or travelers who want to minimize travel fatigue.
🛏 ️ Carriage Configuration:Three types of golden diamond cabins, combining privacy and comfort
In 2026, the New Oriental Express has been fully upgraded to private-bathroom cabins throughout the entire train, completely eliminating the traditional tourist train’s shared washing era. All cabins are equipped with separate wet/dry bathrooms, 24-hour hot water, constant-temperature air conditioning, and custom storage space:
Zungui Golden Diamond 3-Bed Cabin (Deluxe):3 cabins per carriage, approx. 12㎡, with a double sofa, beds can be combined into a 2×1.7m king bed, excellent privacy.
Xiyue Golden Diamond 4-Bed Cabin (Deluxe):4 cabins per carriage, approx. 10㎡, compact but fully equipped, ideal for friends or families traveling together.
🚂 New Oriental Express Xuelian: One berth all the way — a new slow-travel style without moving luggageBoyue Golden Diamond 5-Bed Cabin (Comfort):5 cabins per carriage with bunk bed design, approx. 8㎡, great value, efficient use of space, suitable for travelers on a budget who still seek quality.
In addition, the train features a dome starry-sky themed dining car, a multi-functional bar car, and onboard doctor services. Some departures also offer intangible cultural heritage experiences and professional travel photography, making the journey not just about “seeing” but about “feeling.”
