🚂 2026 New Oriental Express Mid-Year Travel Practical Guide
Entering June, Xinjiang tourism gradually enters the peak season. Many tourists who want to explore Xinjiang in depth but do not want to rush or frequently change hotels and carry luggage have turned their attention to the newly upgraded New Oriental Express. Today, we have compiled practical content covering train model introduction, itinerary schedules, price references, and the full booking process to help you clarify travel questions in one stop.
✨ Basic Train Introduction
The newly upgraded New Oriental Express in 2026 is a high-quality immersive in-depth Xinjiang tour train created by Urumqi Group, positioned as a one-stop high-end railway cultural tourism product. In 2026, it plans to operate 28 trips, covering three core routes: the Northern and Southern Xinjiang loop, in-depth Northern Xinjiang, and in-depth Southern Xinjiang, connecting more than 20 natural and cultural attractions in Xinjiang. Unlike traditional group tours that require frequent bus transfers, daily luggage packing, and hotel changes, this train adopts an operating logic of “departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, scenery moving with the train.” At night, tourists rest in their cabins, and during the day, after stopping at stations, sightseeing is arranged centrally. The train itself is transformed into a mobile accommodation space and leisure platform, greatly reducing the fatigue of long-distance travel. The carriages are also equipped with dedicated butlers, cultural experience activities, and travel photography commemorative services. During the tour, professional staff will explain the history and geography along the way, allowing tourists to gain a deeper understanding of Xinjiang’s natural landscapes and cultural characteristics.
