15-Day Luxury Journey on the New Oriental Express:A Moving Palace 🚂 Traversing the North and South of the Tianshan Mountains
[Route Highlights:Excellent Integration of a Mobile Five-Star Hotel with Panoramic Xinjiang]
As a benchmark product for high-end tourism in Xinjiang, the New Oriental Express train has been upgraded and renovated since 2023, redefining travel in Xinjiang to the standard of a “land cruise.” According to the latest 2026 data, the entire train consists of 18 custom-made carriages, including a bar carriage, dining carriage, panoramic king-size bedrooms with en-suite bathroom facilities. It is recommended that each carriage be equipped with 3-5 compartments to ensure privacy. The train travels at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, operating at night and stopping during the day, allowing tourists to traverse 2,000 kilometers of Xinjiang territory while enjoying a comfortable sleep.
The train features specially designed panoramic skylight observation carriages with professional guides providing real-time introductions to the scenery outside. When crossing the Junggar Basin, you can see herds of wild horses galloping across the Gobi Desert; when traveling through the Ili River Valley, the panoramic rapeseed flower fields contrast beautifully with the snow-capped mountains outside the window. According to the latest 2026 operational data, the train is recommended to operate 18 trips annually, with a limited capacity of 80 passengers per trip to ensure service quality.
