New Oriental Express:A brand-new journey in 2027, unlocking a new experience of in-depth Xinjiang travel✨
Train introduction:A moving “five-star castle,” redefining Xinjiang travel
The New Oriental Express is Xinjiang’s first high-end tourist train. After a brand-new upgrade in 2026, it launched two sets of train bodies: Luxury and Comfort, with “high-end, private, in-depth” as its core positioning, specially created for travelers who pursue quality and experience. The overall livery of the train is inspired by Xinjiang’s natural landscapes, using flowing silk-textured color schemes and incorporating elements such as the Tianshan snow peaks and desert poplars into the design, making it a moving “Xinjiang cultural corridor.”
The train is not recommended as merely a means of transportation; it is also a “moving castle” integrating accommodation, dining, and entertainment. The entire train is equipped with en-suite cabins, dining cars, kitchen cars, and entertainment cars, providing 24-hour hot water, full-train WIFI coverage, constant-temperature air conditioning, and other facilities to meet passengers’ high standards for comfort. Whether it is a family trip, traveling with friends, or a slow journey for seniors, everyone can find their own travel rhythm here.
