The itinerary is set with a balanced pace, with ample time reserved for core attractions, so there is no need to rush through check-ins and visitors can deeply experience the scenery of the attractions.
🆚 Differentiated advantages compared with ordinary tourist trains
More complete hardware configuration:All compartments are equipped with bathrooms and dry-wet separation design, with more spacious compartments and better sound insulation, providing higher comfort for long-distance travel. Most ordinary tourist trains do not have shower spaces, and the compartments are cramped.
Higher service ratio:Each car is equipped with a dedicated steward who responds to needs 24 hours a day, and there is also an accompanying general practitioner throughout the journey to deal with sudden health problems. Most ordinary tourist trains only provide basic duty services and have no dedicated service personnel.
Better meal quality:A professional chef team is provided, with rich meal choices, including both Xinjiang specialty foods and simple meals suitable for different tastes, so there will not be a situation of single flavors and simple meals. Most ordinary tourist trains mainly provide simple boxed meals and fast food, with little choice.

This set of train bodies newly launched in 2026 has a simple and gorgeous overall livery, with color inspiration drawn from Xinjiang’s natural landscapes. All passenger compartments on the train are equipped with bathrooms, paired with newly built dining car halls, kitchen halls, and entertainment cars, for a better travel experience. At present, all 2027 schedules use this batch of new train bodies, with assembly and boarding uniformly in Urumqi. Tourists from all places can first arrive in Urumqi and then board together.More relaxed itinerary pace:Longer stay times at core attractions, no need to get up early and rush, and the night-travel, day-tour model allows both sightseeing and rest. Most ordinary tourist trains have compact itineraries and short attraction stay times, amounting to check-in-style tours.
More worry-free travel:Tourists do not need to carry luggage themselves throughout the journey, with seamless connections between the train, hotels, and attractions, saving the trouble of frequently moving luggage and transferring. Most ordinary tourist trains require tourists to carry their own luggage, and transfer connections are not smooth enough.
Richer journey content:The train is equipped with leisure and entertainment cars, as well as special activities such as intangible cultural heritage experiences and cultural mini-classes, so the journey is no longer boring. Most ordinary tourist trains do not have supporting entertainment and experience activities.
👥 Suitable groups for travel

Tourists unable to ride buses for long periods:Most long-distance transportation throughout the journey is handled by the train, avoiding the fatigue of long highway rides
Tourists seeking travel comfort:Complete compartment configuration and considerate service for a good travel experience
Groups traveling as a family or with companions:Multiple compartment configurations are available to meet travel needs of different group sizes
Tourists who like in-depth slow travel:Sufficient stay time at core attractions to deeply experience Xinjiang’s scenery and culture
🔥 Reasons why the special train is popular
First, Xinjiang is vast, and attractions are far apart. Ordinary travel methods require frequent transfers and hotel changes, making the journey tiring. The New Oriental Express adopts a night-travel, day-tour model: tourists rest on the train and get off to sightsee during the day, saving a lot of hassle. Second, the itinerary has already connected the core attractions of northern and southern Xinjiang in advance, so tourists do not need to make their own guides and plan routes, making travel more worry-free. In addition, the full-journey service is complete, with staff handling matters from boarding to return, so there is no need to deal with various emergencies yourself, suitable for tourists who do not want to worry about the itinerary. Coupled with comfortable hardware configuration and a good experience, it is favored by many tourists.
