New Oriental Express:A mobile “five-star home” crossing Xinjiang 🚂✨
Train introduction:Redefining the “high quality” of Xinjiang travel
“You can stay in a five-star hotel even on a train?” This New Oriental Express, known as a “mobile high-end hotel,” has become a “phenomenal” presence in Xinjiang tourism since its full upgrade in 2026. It is not an ordinary train, but a “land cruise ship” designed specifically for in-depth travel in Xinjiang. The entire train adopts a “one carriage, one theme” design, with livery inspired by Xinjiang’s snow mountains, grasslands, and silk; the moving carriages are like a walking painting.
The biggest highlight of the train is “in-car bathrooms included for designated items within the itinerary”—this is extremely rare among domestic special trains. Each carriage is equipped with a dedicated butler, providing 24-hour hot water, luggage assistance, and other services. The dining car adopts an “open kitchen” design, where tourists can watch chefs cook Xinjiang big plate chicken, baked buns, and other specialty foods, and can even customize birthday cakes or anniversary dinners. The entertainment carriage is equipped with KTV, a reading bar, and observation skylights; at night, lying on the sofa, looking up you see the interweaving of starry sky and Gobi desert.
