🚂 Slow travel through Xinjiang, living in the scenery:2026 New Oriental Express sets off anew
In the era of fast-paced travel, more and more people long to ‘slow down’ — not rushing through attractions, not moving luggage, not constantly changing transfers, just sitting by the window, watching snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and deserts unfold like a painting. In 2026, the newly upgraded New Oriental Express luxury tour train is born for this need. It is not a traditional train but a ‘mobile home,’ traversing the majestic northern Xinjiang and the cultural southern Xinjiang, making the journey itself an enjoyment.
🌄 Train highlights:More than just transportation, it’s an immersive living space
The New Oriental Express launches two new train sets in 2026: luxury and comfort types, all equipped with en-suite cabins, bidding farewell to the inconvenience of shared washrooms on traditional trains. The exterior design is inspired by Xinjiang snow lotuses, with colors flowing like silk, simple yet culturally rich. Inside, there are newly built dining cars, kitchen cars, and multi-functional entertainment cars, with a local star chef team preparing Xinjiang specialty meals daily, such as hand-grabbed lamb, baked buns, and big plate chicken, balancing nutrition and flavor.
Compared to other long-distance transportation methods, the advantages of the New Oriental Express are significant:
No need to move luggage throughout the journey:Visit scenic spots during the day, return to a fixed cabin to rest at night;
Relaxed pace:Recommended 1-2 core attractions daily to avoid rushing;
High adaptability for all groups:Especially suitable for retirees and tourists who cannot tolerate long rides;
