🚂 New Oriental Express 2026 Prices｜A ‘Moving Home’ to Slowly Tour the Panorama of Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In an era of accelerating pace, more and more people are yearning for a travel style of ‘not rushing, just sightseeing.’ In 2026, the New Oriental Express, in its newly upgraded luxury train form, offers tourists a travel option that combines comfort and in-depth experience—exploring scenic spots during the day and sleeping soundly in cabins with private bathrooms at night, without the need to frequently move luggage throughout the journey, truly achieving ‘the train moves with you, the scenery shifts with the train.’
🌄 Train Highlights and Route Features
In 2026, the New Oriental Express will launch two new train sets: luxury and comfort types. All cabins are equipped with bathrooms and wet-dry separation, and feature themed dining cars, kitchen-living cars, and entertainment cars, with service details fully aligned with high-end hotel standards. The exterior paint is simple yet magnificent, with colors flowing like silk, cleverly integrating Xinjiang’s natural scenery and cultural elements.
The train runs through the essence of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, with differentiated routes designed according to the seasons:
From May to September, the focus is on summer scenic routes, covering classic landscapes such as Keketuohai, Hemu, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Duku Highway, and the Pamir Plateau;
In October, the focus is on Southern Xinjiang cultural routes, delving into Turpan, Ruoqiang, Hotan, Shache, Kashgar, Kuqa, Luntai, and other places, exploring historical sites and the autumn colors of poplar forests.
Compared to traditional group tours that require frequent bus transfers and uneven accommodation conditions, the New Oriental Express adopts an alternating ‘train + ground hotel’ model, greatly reducing travel fatigue. It is especially suitable for retirees, tourists who are not comfortable with long car rides, and families seeking comfort and relaxation.
