🚂 New Oriental Express:One ticket, a journey through Xinjiang’s mobile palace
Have you ever imagined that travel could be like staying in a moving hotel? Stroll among snow-capped mountains and lakes by day, and fall asleep to the gentle sound of the rails by night — no dragging luggage to catch trains and change hotels, no finding your way and booking rooms in unfamiliar cities. In 2026, the New Oriental Express is redefining long-distance in-depth travel with the concept of “residence-style slow travel.” It is not an ordinary train, but a high-end tourist special train integrating accommodation, dining, entertainment, and sightseeing, created for travelers who pursue comfort and ease.
I. Detailed Introduction to the New Oriental Express Special Train
The New Oriental Express is a distinctive tourist special train in China focused on long-distance leisure slow travel. In 2026, it has been fully upgraded with two sets of train cars — luxury and comfort — and the entire train operates on a night-travel, day-sightseeing model. This means: you cross a thousand miles in your sleep, and wake up in the next picturesque destination. Throughout the journey, there is no need to frequently change accommodation, repeatedly pack luggage, or endure the hassle of cross-city transfers, truly achieving “the train follows the traveler, the scenery moves with the train.”
This journey covers Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake in northern Xinjiang; Kashgar, Taxkorgan, and the Populus euphratica forests in southern Xinjiang; as well as classic routes such as the Duku Highway and the Ahe Highway, linking Xinjiang’s diverse landforms and cultural landscapes into an immersive experience corridor. It is suitable for families, senior groups, and friends traveling together who value travel quality and hope for a relaxed, in-depth tour.
II. Seat Types, Hardware Configuration, and Advantages of the New Oriental Express
In 2026, the New Oriental Express offers three types of compartments, all equipped with bathrooms and wet-dry separation. There is no public washing area on the entire train, combining privacy and convenience:
Prestige Gold Diamond Three-Compartment Cabin (Luxury Type)
Each carriage is recommended to have 3 compartments, with a capacity of 6 people. The compartment is about 12 square meters, equipped with a double sofa, leisure table and chairs, and custom furniture. The beds can be flexibly combined into a large bed (2×1.7 meters) or single beds (2×0.85 meters), suitable for travelers with higher requirements for space and privacy.
Xiyue Gold Diamond Four-Compartment Cabin (Luxury Type)
Each carriage has 4 compartments, with a capacity of 8 people. The compartment is about 10 square meters, also equipped with a bathroom and convertible bed types. The space layout is more compact but still comfortable, with outstanding value for money.
Boyue Gold Diamond Five-Compartment Cabin (Comfort Type)

🚂 New Oriental Express: One ticket, a journey through Xinjiang’s mobile palace. Each carriage has 5 compartments, with a capacity of 10 people. The compartment is about 8 square meters, with upper and lower berths both 2×0.78 meters. The bathroom and shower room are slightly smaller but fully functional, suitable for travelers with a moderate budget who value the itinerary content.
The entire train is also equipped with a newly built dining car, kitchen car, and entertainment car, providing multi-meal service and leisure social space. The train body livery incorporates Xinjiang’s natural colors, flowing like silk, and is visually a scenery in itself.
III. Travel Quality and Service Highlights of the New Oriental Express
Different from conventional group tours, the service of the New Oriental Express revolves around “worry-free, comfortable, and in-depth”:
Dedicated accompanying team:Professional tour leaders, medical staff, and chefs accompany throughout to meet travel needs;
High-quality dining:Freshly cooked hot food in the dining car, combining local flavors and nutritional balance, with multiple meals a day;
Relaxed itinerary pace:After visiting core attractions each day, ample free time is reserved, rejecting “check-in style” rushing;
Seamless transportation connections:The special train goes directly near scenic areas, reducing shuttle bumps;
Cultural experience integration:Arrangements such as Tajik family visits and the night view of the Yotkan Ancient City enhance local perception.
The entire journey emphasizes “slowing down,” giving you time to watch the clouds roll and unfold, and listen to the wind passing through the canyon, rather than a hurried glimpse.
IV. Simple Itinerary Arrangement of the New Oriental Express
According to the actual operating arrangements for 2026, the itineraries are divided into the summer northern Xinjiang route and the autumn southern Xinjiang route, strictly following the logic of “night travel, day sightseeing”:
