If you want to explore this land in depth in a comfortable way, the newly upgraded 2027 “New Oriental” luxury train is undoubtedly the ideal choice. This train is built to the standard of a “mobile five-star hotel,” connecting the core attractions of North and South Xinjiang, allowing tourists to take in natural wonders such as Kanas, Sayram Lake and the Duku Highway within 14 days, while also experiencing the unique charm of various ethnic cultures.

📜 Route features:The “hardcore” advantages of the luxury train
The “New Oriental” train is not an ordinary train, but a “land cruiser” customized for high-end tourism. Its core highlights include:
A mobile “five-star residence”: The carriages adopt an all-soft-sleeper design, with 3-6 compartments recommended per carriage, equipped with bathrooms, humidifiers, constant-temperature air conditioning and large viewing windows. Among them, the “Xiyue Golden Diamond” compartment has a capacity of 8 people, suitable for families or small groups; the “Noble Golden Diamond” compartment is recommended for 6 people, with more private space and more exclusive service.
Stops by day, travels by night, saving time: The train travels at night and stops at attractions during the day. Tourists do not need to frequently move luggage, nor worry about the fatigue of long-distance drives. For example, the 10-hour journey from Urumqi to Altay is completed at night, and the next morning you can directly visit Koktokay.
In-depth experience, no superficial sightseeing:The itinerary covers 12 core scenic areas in North and South Xinjiang, with ample停留 time at each attraction. For example, a full day is arranged in Kanas, where tourists can hike the Three Bays, climb the Fish Viewing Platform, and even experience a Tuva family visit; on the Duku Highway, travel is divided into sections, allowing you to enjoy the scenery of all four seasons while doing your best.
