🚂 Slow down and let Xinjiang enter your window — 2026 New Oriental Express Deep Travel Guide
In the era of fast-paced travel, more and more people are longing for journeys that ‘don’t rush.’ In 2026, the New Oriental Express redefines deep travel in Xinjiang with the concept of a ‘moving home’ — no need for frequent transfers or dragging luggage around. During the day, explore scenic spots in depth; at night, sleep soundly in comfortable cabins equipped with bathrooms, with views of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and Gobi deserts unfolding outside your window.
This special train departs from Urumqi, traversing the natural wonders of Northern Xinjiang and the cultural landscapes of Southern Xinjiang. It offers two main routes depending on the season: from May to September, it focuses on Northern Xinjiang scenery and the Duku Highway crossing; in October, it highlights Southern Xinjiang’s poplar forests and historical sites. The train adopts an alternating accommodation mode of ‘onboard + ground hotels,’ ensuring comfort while avoiding the bumps of long-distance buses, making it especially suitable for retirees, family trips, or tourists with high demands for travel comfort.
