In the traditional travel model, tourists often need to repeatedly pack their luggage and transfer between different means of transportation, while the New Oriental Express special train creatively combines accommodation and transportation into one. This luxury train, known as a “land cruise ship,” features fully enclosed carriages equipped with bathrooms, large viewing windows, constant-temperature air conditioning, and other facilities, allowing tourists to enjoy a five-star accommodation experience while on the move.
The train’s specially designed observation car is the crowning touch: 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows paired with adjustable seats mean that whether it is the Tianshan snow peaks in the morning light or the Taklamakan Desert at dusk, both can be taken in from an excellent viewing angle. According to the latest operating data for 2026, the train is recommended to open 12 departures throughout the year, with each trip accommodating at most 120 tourists, striving to ensure service quality and privacy.
The train’s dining service is created by a professional chef team, providing a 6-course formal meal daily, covering special needs such as [regular] meals and vegetarian options. The specially designed “Mobile Food Map” menu combines regional specialties such as Xinjiang Big Plate Chicken and roasted buns with molecular gastronomy techniques, allowing taste buds and vision to travel in sync.
