🚂 New Oriental Express Luxury Train:A New Way of Slow Travel Across Xinjiang
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, deserts, and ancient cities weave together a magnificent picture. In 2026, more and more tourists are choosing to deeply explore the core area of the Silk Road in a ‘slow-paced, high-comfort’ way—by taking the New Oriental Express luxury tourist train. This not only saves the hassle of frequently changing hotels and moving luggage but also allows you to immerse yourself in the natural wonders and cultural imprints of the Tianshan Mountains while on the move.

The entire journey adopts a seamless connection mode of ‘train + land bus + high-end hotel’ to avoid the fatigue of long-distance travel.
