🚂 [Route Highlights:Collision of a Mobile ‘Five-Star Hotel’ with Xinjiang’s Hidden Gems]
The New Oriental Express is not an ordinary train but a representative of high-end domestic tourist trains. The 2026 upgraded carriages are equipped with bathrooms, panoramic windows, and constant-temperature air conditioning. Each carriage is recommended to have 3-5 cabins, with full butler service throughout the journey, earning it the title of a ‘mobile five-star hotel.’ The route design covers Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake in Northern Xinjiang, as well as Kashgar Ancient City, the Pamir Plateau, and Tarim Poplar Forest in Southern Xinjiang, connecting the most exquisite natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang.
The train adopts a ‘play by day, travel by night’ model to maximize time savings. For example, the 10-hour journey from Urumqi to Altay is completed overnight, allowing tourists to directly visit Koktokay or Kanas upon waking in the morning, avoiding the fatigue of long-distance travel.
