The New Oriental Express is currently China’s most premium luxury tourist train. The hardware configuration, dining service, and quality of service personnel on board are comparable to those of star-rated hotels. The accommodation carriages come in two types: Silver Diamond series and Blue Diamond series, both equipped with complete bathroom facilities. The entire train also features a luxury bar entertainment carriage and a Chinese-style dining carriage with professional chefs, providing a high-end VIP tourism service throughout the journey.
Why should one take a special train to travel to Xinjiang?
Xinjiang is too vast and the journey is too long. Use China’s most high-end train, the New Oriental Express, to travel throughout the north and south of Xinjiang. Combine train accommodation with the highest-star hotel accommodation on the ground for a comfortable, non-exhausting, and time-saving experience. This ultimate experience will be unforgettable for a lifetime! The itinerary is scientifically and reasonably designed. It’s the best season to view the Hu Yang trees in southern Xinjiang in autumn. The Greater Tarim Railway Circle covers almost all the most famous and representative scenic spots and customs in southern Xinjiang, leaving no regrets! Exclusively arranged high-end train experience around the Taklamakan Desert, and an exclusive visit to Ruoqiang and the ancient Loulan landscape, which cannot be arranged by traditional tour groups!
