New Oriental Express:A luxury mobile palace for panoramic roaming of Xinjiang in 2027
🚂 Train positioning:A mobile “five-star castle”
The New Oriental Express is not an ordinary tourist train, but a “high-end mobile vacation complex” guided by the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism and jointly created by Xinjiang Railway and Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency. Its design is inspired by the European Orient Express, but places greater emphasis on adapting to the travel rhythm of Xinjiang’s vast territory—avoiding the fatigue of long-distance self-driving while also solving the trouble of frequently changing hotels on traditional group tours. The newly upgraded “Snow Lotus” train body for 2027 uses aviation-grade sound insulation materials and a constant-temperature system, with fresh air devices installed in the carriages, striving to allow passengers to enjoy fresh air even when crossing deserts and gobi.
