[Route overview:A moving five-star hotel, unlocking in-depth ways to play in Xinjiang]
While traditional train travel is still struggling with hard seats and sleepers, the New Oriental Express has already upgraded the Xinjiang journey to a “high-end vacation on wheels.” This luxury tourist train, built with hundreds of millions of yuan, centers on “Golden Diamond Carriages” and “Blue Diamond Carriages,” connecting more than 20 premium Xinjiang IPs such as Urumqi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, and the Duku Highway, crossing the snow-capped mountains and grasslands of northern Xinjiang and the gobi oases of southern Xinjiang over 14 days. The itinerary design cleverly avoids the fatigue of long-distance self-driving, sleeping every night in a moving “five-star hotel,” and seeing stunning scenery as soon as you open the window in the morning, making it a “classic way to open” a Xinjiang trip.
🌄 [Route highlights:Why choose the New Oriental Express?]
Premium hardware configuration:The entire train is equipped with oversized viewing windows, bathrooms, 24-hour hot water, and constant-temperature air conditioning. The Golden Diamond Carriages even have dry-wet separated bathrooms and viewing king-size bed rooms, comparable to a land cruise ship.
In-depth combination of experiences:Kanas hiking, Nalati horseback riding, Tajik family visits, Kashgar old town photography, with 2-3 core experiences arranged each day, rejecting superficial sightseeing.
Worry-free service:Full-board meals throughout (including specialty roast whole lamb and hand-grabbed rice), VIP access channels at scenic areas, professional guide explanations, luggage checked with the train, truly achieving “travel light.”
Coexisting with comfort:The special train is equipped with a medical team, and the itinerary pace is well-balanced, suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists, family trips, and young people pursuing quality.
