🚂 Complete guide to registering and purchasing tickets for the 2026 New Oriental Express luxury train
Many tourists planning long trips to Xinjiang have heard of the New Oriental Express, a high-end tourist train product. It eliminates the need to frequently move luggage or rush for early or late trains, traveling at night and sightseeing during the day, turning travel time into rest time, allowing for a more relaxed exploration of Xinjiang’s natural scenery and cultural landscapes. In 2026, the train’s configuration has been upgraded again, with each compartment equipped with separate wet and dry bathrooms, branded toiletries, and wide viewing windows. Public areas include a leisure bar and shared tea room, where you can chat with companions over tea and share travel photos during the journey. Each carriage also has dedicated service staff for daily inquiries and luggage assistance, making it suitable for family trips, friend gatherings, or leisure vacations.
Currently, the New Oriental Express routes are divided into two directions. In summer, it covers the full northern and southern Xinjiang route, featuring diverse landscapes like grasslands, lakes, canyons, and plateaus. In October, it launches a southern Xinjiang special route, focusing on cultural relics and autumn poplar forests. Tourists can choose the corresponding schedule based on their travel time and preferences. In 2026, many scenic spots along the route have introduced preferential policies for different groups, such as free admission for seniors over 65, active military personnel, and fire rescue workers, and half-price tickets for students and seniors aged 60 to 65. Eligible tourists can inform the staff in advance during consultation to confirm the applicable discounts.
