🚂 New Oriental Express Xuelian Number cabin selection guide:Is the space in the double bed room enough? Read this to find out
Many friends planning to travel through Xinjiang on a luxury train are most concerned about whether the space in the double bed room is sufficient when choosing a cabin: Will it be crowded when traveling with elderly people and children? Can two 28-inch suitcases fit? Will there be limited space for lying down and stretching? Based on the latest train configuration information for 2026, today we will clearly explain the parameters of the Xuelian Number double bed rooms and the travel scenarios they suit, helping everyone choose the right room type.
🌟 Details of the double bed room area on the New Oriental Express Xuelian Number
The New Oriental Express Xuelian Number, put into operation in 2026, is a representative model of Xinjiang’s current high-end tourist trains. All cabins are equipped with separate wet and dry bathrooms. Double bed rooms can be requested for change in advance based on travel needs. The space parameters for different cabin grades are as follows:
✨ Premium Gold Diamond 3-cabin room can be changed to a double bed room:The overall cabin area is about 12 square meters, with a bathroom of 1.5 square meters and a shower room of 1.06 square meters. The double bed measures 2 x 1.7 meters. The cabin also includes a leisure double sofa and a reception area. Even two people traveling with two 28-inch suitcases and carry-on backpacks can place them easily without feeling crowded when turning around. It suits family trips, friends traveling together, or tourists with higher space requirements.
✨ Xiyue Gold Diamond 4-cabin room can be changed to a double bed room:The overall cabin area is about 10 square meters, with a bathroom of 1.5 square meters and a shower room of 1.06 square meters. The double bed is also 2 x 1.7 meters. The layout is more compact, and storage space has been optimized with built-in designs that do not take up activity areas. For two people traveling without too much large luggage, the activity space is fully sufficient, and the value for money is more prominent.
In addition to the cabin space itself, the entire Xuelian Number train is equipped with constant-temperature air conditioning and a humidification system to suit Xinjiang’s dry climate. Each cabin has multiple charging ports and blackout curtains. Public areas include themed dining cars, sightseeing carriages, and cultural entertainment zones. Even long-distance travel will not feel boring, truly allowing you to ‘tour northern and southern Xinjiang while lying down’.
📍 Introduction to highlights along the route
The New Oriental Express Xuelian Number connects the core natural and cultural landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang, covering almost all classic check-in spots from the Altay grasslands to the Pamir Plateau. Traveling in different seasons offers different scenery:
In summer (May to September), Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake along the northern Xinjiang route have lush vegetation, wildflowers blooming on the grasslands, and the Duku Highway is also open, allowing you to experience the landscape changes of ‘four seasons in one day’ along the way. From September to October, the poplar forests in southern Xinjiang gradually turn golden, and the cultural experiences in Kashgar Old City and Yotgan Ancient City are better. Grapes, red dates, and other specialty fruits also enter their ripening season, suitable for tourists who enjoy cultural landscapes and food.
