China’s most luxurious tourist train has departed from Urumqi!
This train is China’s most luxurious private train to date – the New Oriental Express, akin to the Rolls-Royce of trains.
Once you board this train, it will definitely change your stereotypical impression of trains. From restaurants, bars, KTVs, showers… it has everything. The New Oriental Express, which cost 48 million yuan to build, offers the longest itinerary of 14 days, with a per capita starting price of over 30,000 yuan. But even at this price, tickets are hard to come by. It can be said that it is not just a train, but more like a complex of ‘hotel + cinema + KTV + regional cultural scenery + local cuisine’.
The luxurious interior decoration even puts the first-class cabins of high-speed trains to shame.
If you only look at its appearance, it resembles the familiar green train carriages we know, but with a gold ‘UR’ emblem on it.
Once you step into the carriage, you will be instantly amazed!
First of all, the New Oriental Express offers both Golden Diamond and Blue Diamond suites.
01. Golden Diamond Suite
The Golden Diamond suite is a double bedroom, with only 4 double suites per carriage, accommodating 8 people.
The interior decoration of the suite is comparable to that of a five-star hotel:
Inside, there is a 1.5m king-size bed, a separate bathroom with a wet and dry area, a wardrobe, a safe… It also provides 24/7 hot water and air conditioning throughout the journey.
Especially since there is also a mini-fridge in the suite where you can store chilled drinks, medications, and even face masks for girls, which is very thoughtful.
Such a configuration naturally comes with a high price.
02. Blue Diamond Suite
The Blue Diamond suite is a 4-person bunk room, with a capacity of 28 people per carriage, priced at around 25,000 yuan.
Although they are bunk beds, each room has a huge viewing window. The lower bunk is widened, and the upper bunk’s mattress can be folded up against the wall. There are shared restrooms, showers, and mini-fridges at both ends of the carriage.
First-class facilities, first-class service
Apart from the differences in internal facilities, the services available in the Golden Diamond and Blue Diamond suites are quite similar.
For example, there are two dining carriages on the train, with six dishes and one soup for each meal. There are over 100 kinds of ‘Silk Road cuisine’ that change daily. There are also beers and drinks, and guests in the Golden Diamond suite can even enjoy room service.
To cater to young people, there is a dedicated ‘bar carriage’ on the train, which is also equipped with a karaoke system.
In addition to its first-class facilities, the service on the New Oriental Express is also top-notch.
The train has a standard passenger capacity of 134 people, with 50 staff members alone. Moreover, each carriage will have a dedicated butler who can provide you with various services anytime, anywhere.
The scenery along the way is like a world-class blockbuster in every frame.
In addition to its first-class facilities, the scenery along the New Oriental Express is also world-class. Many people take this train to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of China.
