In 2025, let’s take the top luxury tourist train in China, the ‘New Oriental Express’, to travel along the Silk Road with you and taste the long history of Chinese civilization spanning 5,000 years.
The New Oriental Express is currently China’s most advanced luxury tourist train. The hardware configuration, dining service, and quality of service personnel on the train are comparable to that of star hotels. The accommodation carriages include Silver Diamond series and Blue Diamond series, both equipped with complete bathroom facilities. The entire train also has a luxury bar and entertainment carriage and a Chinese dining carriage, with professional chefs, providing a high-end VIP travel service throughout the journey.
Silver Diamond carriage configuration is as follows:
1 luxury suite: 2 separate rooms, a large wet-dry separated shower room, accommodating 2 people, suitable for couples or friends;
2 executive standard rooms: independent toilet, foldable upper berth, accommodating 2-4 people;
2 luxury four-person cabins;
Public toilet (with shower room);
Kitchen: Full kitchen equipment for individual cooking;
Luxury living room (small conference table, sofa, karaoke audio equipment)
One carriage can accommodate 10-14 VIPs.
Each Blue Diamond carriage is equipped with 7 four-person cabins, featuring extra-wide lower berths (0.9M*1.95M) and upper berths (0.7M*1.82M) with damping devices that can be folded up and attached to the wall (usable as a two-person cabin). There are public toilets and showers at both ends of the carriage. The rooms are all equipped with soundproofing materials, independent audio equipment, lighting adjustment, and butler service bells.
In addition to the dining carriage, the train is also equipped with a bar carriage with coffee seats, TVs, audio equipment, and karaoke facilities. Here, guests can enjoy drinks with friends, play the piano, watch movies, sing karaoke, etc., and enjoy a comfortable environment and high-end amenities. Imagine this: as you sit elegantly on the train drinking tea and chatting, snow-capped mountains and deserts flash by in front of your eyes. This breathtaking scenery that money can’t buy is something that any upscale hotel or bar can’t offer. Each accommodation carriage is equipped with a dedicated butler to serve you, and mineral water and hot tea are supplied in the rooms. The dining carriage of the New Oriental Express provides a relaxed and comfortable dining environment. First-class professional chefs are specially hired to provide delicious meals for tourists on the train.
The New Oriental Express has a total of 7 passenger carriages and is equipped with about 20 working staff. Each accommodation carriage is equipped with a butler to assist VIPs with various matters on the train. Hot water is available in the showers in the accommodation carriages 24 hours a day, so you can enjoy a comfortable shower anytime on the train.
The New Oriental Express is currently the only train in China equipped with a luxury bar. Here, you can not only enjoy a drink but also sing karaoke with complete equipment, and there is also a piano accompanying passengers from time to time, which is wonderful.
