🚂 New Oriental Express Xuelian Premium Gold Diamond Cabin:A private space on the move — another way to travel Xinjiang slowly
Across the vast landscape of Xinjiang, from the morning mist of the Altai Mountains to the starry nights of the Pamir Plateau, from the azure of Sayram Lake to the poplar trees along the Tarim River, the scenery unfolds like a painted scroll. But if you want to leisurely take in the best of northern and southern Xinjiang without the hassle of changing hotels and hauling luggage? The 2026 newly upgraded New Oriental Express Xuelian offers a more relaxed and immersive way to travel with its “travel by day, ride by night, train follows traveler” rhythm. Among them, the Premium Gold Diamond Cabin, as the highest-class cabin on the train, is not just a sleeper — it’s a private residence that moves with the scenery.
🌄 In-depth itinerary and destination experience (2026 Summer Edition)
This 14-day loop route cleverly connects the forests and lakes of northern Xinjiang with the canyons and oases of southern Xinjiang. The itinerary covers the granite canyons of Koktokay, the misty wooden houses of Hemu Village, the color-changing waters of Kanas, the aerial grasslands of Nalati, the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, the red rock walls of Kuqa Grand Canyon, the White Sand Lake and Muztagh Ata reflection on the Pamir Plateau, the thousand-year-old streets of Kashgar Old City, and the Flaming Mountain culture of Turpan.
Unlike regular bus tours that rush off early every morning, the Xuelian adopts a model of “deep exploration on the ground during the day, smooth train travel at night.” Tourists focus on sightseeing during the day and return to their cabins to sleep at night, without repeatedly packing luggage or switching hotels. Especially on complex sections like the Duku Highway, the train connects with 7-seat business vans or 38-seat luxury coaches to maximize comfort and convenience.
In addition, the itinerary incorporates multiple cultural experiences:Such as visits to ethnic family homes, observation of intangible cultural heritage crafts, specialty cold-water fish banquets, and whole-roasted lamb dinners, making the journey not just about sightseeing but also about cultural immersion.
