Compared to the original Oriental Express, the new Orient Express now has significantly improved sealing, stability, and shock absorption, ensuring sleep quality and riding comfort. It is also equipped with extra-large glass scenic windows and currently has the largest shower booths in China.
In the Golden Diamond carriages, each section is arranged with only 4 double suites, and each suite is recommended for 2 people. One carriage can accommodate a maximum of 8 people, providing excellent privacy! The room, approximately 10 square meters in size, is equipped with extra-large scenic windows. Inside the room, there is an independent bathroom with a dry and wet separation area, as well as brand-name mattresses, desks, wardrobes, and safes. When leaving the train, valuable items can be stored in the safe. The rooms are all equipped with soundproof boarding, independent audio, light adjustment, and butler service bells. You can adjust the air volume yourself, and there is also mineral water and hot tea available. Each accommodation carriage will have a dedicated butler. For example, if you need laundry services during the trip, you can hand it over to the butler, and the cleaned clothes will be returned to your compartment, comparable to a starred hotel!
