🚂 New Oriental Express Snow Lotus:2026 Mobile Western Region Living Experience
On the vast land of Xinjiang, there is a way of traveling that is neither self-driving nor regular group tours—but taking a luxury special train that integrates accommodation, transportation, dining, and sightseeing. Explore secret places during the day and sleep peacefully on the rails at night. This train, known as a ‘mobile star-rated hotel,’ is the New Oriental Express Snow Lotus.
Unlike traditional trains, the Snow Lotus uses a brand-new third-generation car body. Among the 18 carriages, 13 are passenger carriages, equipped with separate wet and dry bathrooms, constant-temperature showers, smart toilets, and memory foam mattresses. Each carriage has a dedicated butler providing 24-hour service; the dining car blends flavors from various ethnic groups, the bar car offers stargazing and tea chats; there are also KTV, chess and card areas, and observation carriages for leisure, making the journey relaxed and enjoyable.
The train operates on a ‘travel by day, move by night’ model—smoothly crossing the Gobi and oases at night to save travel time; during the day, it stops at core scenic spots for deep exploration of at least 6-8 hours. Whether it’s the lake and mountain scenery of Northern Xinjiang or the history and culture of Southern Xinjiang, you can immerse yourself calmly without rushing.
