In 2026, this tourist train, hailed as a “mobile five-star hotel,” completed a full interior upgrade — from carriage layout to detailed services, every detail hides thoughtful touches that make travel more comfortable.

🌄 【Route Highlights:14 Days Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang, See All the “Beauty of the Western Regions” at Once】
The itinerary of the New Oriental Express Xuelian No. is practically a “panoramic map of Xinjiang” — 14 days spanning core destinations including Urumqi, Altay, Kanas, Yining, Nalati, Kashgar, and Turpan, connecting diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, deserts, and ancient cities. From Kanas, the “back garden” of Northern Xinjiang, to Kashgar, the “thousand-year-old ancient city” of Southern Xinjiang; from the “four seasons in one day” of the Duku Highway to the “lonely smoke in the vast desert” of the Taklamakan, every stop is a “must-visit” landmark of Xinjiang.
🚂 【Interior Upgrade:A “Mobile Castle” More Thoughtful Than a Hotel】
In 2026, the Xuelian No. completed a full interior renovation, upgrading everything from “staying” to “traveling,” creating a “home on the train”:
🛏 ️ Gold Diamond Carriage:Private bathroom + panoramic windows, an exclusive “mobile suite”
Each carriage is recommended to have 3 Gold Diamond compartments, accommodating 6 people, each equipped with a private bathroom, 24-hour hot water, humidifier, safe, and even a dressing room and large viewing windows. Lying in bed, you can see snow-capped mountains and stargaze; wake up to the first rays of sunlight in the morning, and fall asleep to the sound of grassland breezes at night — truly realizing “on the road, yet home is by your side.”
✨【New Oriental Express Xuelian No.: A mobile “five-star home” unlocking N possibilities for Xinjiang travel】✨🛋 ️ Public Areas:Bar, restaurant, observation deck — switch freely between socializing and solitude
The upgraded Xuelian No. has added a panoramic observation carriage with floor-to-ceiling windows and lounge sofas — enjoy the scenery along the way during the day, stargaze and chat at night; the bar carriage offers specialty drinks and snacks, perfect for gatherings with friends; the dining carriage features an “open kitchen” design where a professional chef team cooks Xinjiang specialties on site — from baked buns (samsa), hand-pulled rice (polo), to big plate chicken, every bite is “Xinjiang on the tip of your tongue.”
💡 Detailed Services:Full coverage from “basic needs” to “emotional value”
The carriages feature full Wi-Fi coverage, charging ports, and constant-temperature air conditioning, and even provide disposable slippers, eye masks, earplugs, and other thoughtful items; train attendants are professionally trained and can provide bilingual Chinese-English service, and can adjust the itinerary pace based on tourists’ needs — for example, extending the stay at a stop for photography enthusiasts, or preparing children’s meals for families with kids.
