【New Oriental Express:The “Moving Castle” Unlocking In-Depth Xinjiang Tours 🚂】
Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
Xinjiang, a vast land occupying one-sixth of China’s territory, hides stunning scenery of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and deserts, and carries thousands of years of cultural integration among various ethnic groups. As the representative of Xinjiang’s high-end tourist trains, the “New Oriental Express” has been in operation since 2021. With its “one-ticket system, designated items included in itinerary, in-depth tour” model, it has become a popular choice for experiencing Xinjiang. In 2026, this train will be fully upgraded with customized carriage designs, equipped with bathrooms, large panoramic windows, KTV entertainment rooms, and even bars and medical rooms — truly a “moving five-star hotel.” The train travels along the Northern Xinjiang loop and Southern Xinjiang loop, connecting classic attractions such as Kanas, Sayram Lake, and the Pamir Plateau, while also going deep into ethnic villages to experience authentic local culture.
Why Choose the New Oriental Express?
Hassle-free and Effortless:No need to frequently change hotels or carry luggage throughout the journey. The train travels at night and sightseeing happens during the day, maximizing time efficiency.
In-depth Experience:Avoid the “superficial touring” of regular travel groups with niche attractions and special activities (such as Tajik home visits and treasure hunting at the Yurungkash River in Hotan).
Privacy:Private compartments in carriages, limited number of guests, ideal for family and friends traveling together.
