✨ 【Discover the New Orient Express:Unlock the high-end mobile palace of North and South Xinjiang】✨
I. Route Highlights: When a High-End Train Meets Magnificent Mountains and Rivers
On the vast land of Xinjiang, there is a train known as the “mobile five-star hotel”—the New Orient Express. With the innovative design of its third-generation carriage body, it redefines the standard for high-end tourist trains. The newly upgraded model in 2027 not only retains classic features such as full solid wood interior, bathrooms, and 24-hour hot water, but also introduces an intelligent temperature control system, panoramic viewing windows, and silent shock-absorption technology, allowing passengers to enjoy a comfortable experience like home while crossing deserts and snow-capped mountains.
The most unique aspect of this train lies in its “train moves with the scenery” design concept. The entire train is recommended to have 18 carriages, of which 12 are guest rooms, striving to give each passenger spacious private space. The train adopts a “one price includes designated items within the itinerary” model, covering full-board dining, attraction tickets, and private vehicle transfer services, truly realizing the worry-free experience of “rest on board, play off board.” According to the 2026 passenger satisfaction survey, 98% of tourists highly praised the “zero consumption pressure” and “in-depth cultural experience.”
