🚂 Slow travel through Xinjiang, living in the scenery:2026 New Oriental Express In-depth Experience Guide
In a fast-paced era, a way of traveling is quietly returning—no rush, no hotel changes, no repeated luggage handling. Explore hidden gems by day and sleep in a moving ‘home’ at night. The 2026 upgraded New Oriental Express is precisely such a luxury tourist train that blends comfort, culture, and natural scenery. Departing from Urumqi, it traverses the snowy mountains and lakes of Northern Xinjiang and the oasis ancient cities of Southern Xinjiang, using an alternating accommodation model of ‘on-train + ground hotels,’ making the journey itself the destination.
🌄 Train Highlights and Route Features
The 2026 New Oriental Express introduces two new train sets: luxury and comfort types. All cars are equipped with en-suite cabins, themed dining cars, multi-functional entertainment cars, and use soundproofing materials and double-layer vacuum panoramic windows for smooth and quiet travel. The train’s overall paint is simple yet magnificent, with colors flowing like silk, echoing the vastness and diversity of Xinjiang.
Route design highlights seasonal features:
From May to September, it focuses on Northern Xinjiang’s natural scenery and the Duku Highway crossing, covering classic landscapes like Keketuohai, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak, and the Pamir Plateau;
In October, it focuses on Southern Xinjiang’s culture and autumn poplar forests, visiting Loulan cultural relics, Hetian Jade River, Kashgar Old City, and Luntai Poplar Forest.
