🚂 New Oriental Express Xinjiang Tour Train:Slow travel through Northern and Southern Xinjiang, turning the journey into life
In the vast Xinjiang, a truly comfortable trip should not be troubled by frequent hotel changes, luggage moving, and long bumpy rides. The 2026 newly upgraded New Oriental Express Tour Train, with the concept of a ‘mobile star-rated hotel,’ connects the grasslands and lakes of Northern Xinjiang with the humanistic oases of Southern Xinjiang, allowing tourists to immerse themselves in the scenery during the day and sleep soundly at night—no need to repeatedly pack throughout the journey, with a relaxed and unhurried pace, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists and family groups who value experience and comfort.
🚄 Overview of the Special Train and Route Features
The New Oriental Express is built by an experienced operations team, using a newly customized train body. The entire train is equipped with bathroom compartments, exclusive dining cars, kitchen halls, and entertainment cars. The overall paintwork blends the flowing feel of silk with Xinjiang’s natural colors, combining modernity with regional cultural charm.
The special train uses Urumqi as its distribution center. In summer, it focuses on the Northern Xinjiang loop (including Altay, Kanas, Nalati, Bayanbulak, Kashgar, etc.), while in autumn, it delves deep into Southern Xinjiang (covering Turpan, Ruoqiang, Hotan, Shache, Kuqa, Luntai Poplar Forest, etc.). The itinerary follows the principle of ‘depart in the evening, arrive in the morning,’ saving time with night travel and focusing on sightseeing during the day, effectively avoiding the fatigue of traditional buses averaging 5-8 hours of driving per day.
Compared to other tour trains, the advantages of the New Oriental Express are:
Accommodation on the train throughout the journey + sightseeing off the train, luggage placed once, no need to pack daily;
High privacy in compartments, with separate wet and dry bathroom areas, improving travel hygiene and convenience;
Meals prepared by a professional chef team, balancing nutrition and local flavors, adaptable to light and elderly-friendly needs;
