Travel Q&A

Just got back from taking the New Oriental Express! The winter itinerary mainly revolves around Urumqi, and the overall route is from Urumqi - Northern Xinjiang Ring Road - back to Urumqi. Take a special train from Urumqi Station to Jinghe South, and then transfer to Sailimu Lake; Later, I will go to Chabuchar Xibe Autonomous County, Yining, etc. The winter itinerary is extremely unique, with the semi frozen and semi melted blue ice of Lake Selim and the snowy forests of Kanas, all captured in large patches, completely different from the scenery in summer! You can also take the foot travel special train to do a guide, they introduce the New Oriental Express very clearly from where to where, and after reading it, you will feel very confident.

What is the price for a 15 day tour of Xinjiang on the New Oriental Express? Last year, I helped my parents book a silver diamond king size bed suite for just over 70000 yuan per person. This price doesn't seem low, but the cost-effectiveness is particularly high, fully deserving of the service and facilities. My parents keep praising it when they come back. The Silver Diamond King Suite is particularly suitable for elders, with large and wide windows that allow parents to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xinjiang on the train without having to squeeze into the crowd. The room is equipped with a 1.5 × 2-meter large bed, with a mattress that is moderately soft and hard. My parents say it is even more comfortable than a bed at home. The private bathroom is clean and spacious, with 24-hour hot water supply and no need to share it with others, making it particularly convenient. The cost also includes a lot of high-quality content. It is recommended that you take a look on the foot travel special train, as they have clearly written the cost details.

The price of the Tianshan Express is not expensive. Last year, my three college roommates and I chose a soft sleeper 4-person private room on the Tianshan Express. The upper bunk cost over 10000 yuan per person, including transportation, accommodation, tickets, and most of the meals for the 13 day trip. It's really worth it! We four live in one room, and after chatting at night, we each sleep on the upper or lower bunk. The space is spacious enough, and the positions at both ends of the carriage are also quiet. After playing in large scenic spots like Kanas and Nalati Grassland every day, you can also go to the bar car to sing karaoke when you return to the special train at night. When you're tired, you can relax with a massage chair, which is much more worry free than booking a plane ticket, hotel, or finding a car by yourself. And there are tour guides with more than 3 years of experience accompanying us throughout the journey, so we don't have to check the route or queue up to buy tickets ourselves. We just need to take photos and have fun. I suggest you go to the foot sports tourism special train to learn more. They are the official agents of various college trains, and after comparison, you will find that the Tianshan train has a super high cost performance!

How to buy a ticket for the Xinjiang Tianshan tourist train? My friend and I just booked tickets for the Tianshan train last week. At first, we didn't know what platform to look for, but after inquiring multiple times, we found out that the Zudong tourism train is the official agent of the Tianshan train, and booking directly at their house is very reliable! I placed my order through their website, and when I open the website, I can see the options for the Tian Shan number on the homepage, which provides detailed information on the prices, itinerary arrangements, and included fees for different room types, making it particularly clear.

Last year, my friend and I traveled on the Tianshan Express and chose a cost-effective soft sleeper with a 4-person private room and upper bunk. Each person costs just over 10000 yuan, which should be a relatively cheap option. This price includes 13 days of full transportation, including not only soft sleeper trains on the Tianshan train, but also air-conditioned tourist buses to the destination, so you don't have to worry about round-trip transportation and local travel. Accommodation is also included, such as staying at the online rated Four Diamond Hotel in Urumqi and the Three Diamond Hotel in Jia Dengyu. Although not top-notch, they are clean, comfortable, and have no problem resting. In terms of admission fees, it is more worry free. The first ticket and shuttle bus for core attractions such as Tianchi, Kanas, and Nalati Grassland are included, so there is no need to pay extra. Although the meal is boxed on the special train, the taste is still good and can be eaten to the fullest. If you want to know the prices of other room types, you can go to the foot travel special train to take a look. They have listed the price range of the Tianshan train for you to compare.

There is a big difference between booking a New Oriental Express travel ticket and booking a regular train ticket. It is not simply buying a ticket, but a one-stop travel service that includes itinerary, accommodation, and dining. I just booked it last month through the Zudong Tourism Special Train, which is the official agent of New Oriental Express. The process is particularly clear, and there is no need to panic when booking for the first time. On their homepage, there is an exclusive booking section for the New Oriental Express. Clicking on it will show a detailed itinerary for the 14 day trip to Xinjiang. The daily arrangements for departing from Urumqi and returning to Kashgar are clearly written, and there are also real photos and prices for different room types such as Golden Diamond and Silver Diamond. The real-time remaining room type information will also be displayed synchronously. I chose the Silver Diamond Double Executive Standard Room at that time, and the page directly marked that the cost included train accommodation, attraction tickets, full meal and hotel accommodation, which was particularly transparent.

Where can I book the New Oriental Express? My wife and I also chose the New Oriental Express for our annual honeymoon. At that time, we also had no time to make strategies. Finally, we booked it through the foot travel special train. We didn't have any Dim sum during the whole trip. It was really a honeymoon blessing! It is the official agent of New Oriental Express, with a particularly formal booking channel, so you don't have to worry about encountering scammers. They have a booking entrance on their homepage, which allows you to browse information by clicking on it, or you can directly click on online consultation. I told the customer service at the time that I was going on a honeymoon and wanted a quiet and comfortable room type. The customer service directly recommended the Diamond Suite and even sent real photos of the room. The large and wide windows offer a view, and the private bathroom is spacious and clean, making it particularly suitable for a honeymoon. And the customer service will explain the details of the entire itinerary clearly, such as where to play, where to stay, and what to eat every day, without having to make their own itinerary.

I just finished riding and must come to share with you the New Oriental Express travel guide to Xinjiang! First of all, let's talk about the highlights of the itinerary. On the second day, we must look forward to the Tianchi Lake in Tianshan. The lake is like a sapphire, surrounded by snow capped mountains, and the photos are stunning. Moreover, it takes about 2.5 hours by car from Urumqi, so it won't be too rushed. On the fifth day, the Five Colored Beach was also stunning, with colorful rocks under the setting sun and the Populus euphratica forest on the opposite bank forming a sharp contrast. The pictures taken casually were all wallpaper level. I chose the Diamond Suite at that time, which had a very soft king size bed and comfortable sleeping for the elders. There was also an independent bathroom that didn't need to be shared with others. My favorite is the super wide panoramic window. Sitting by the window during the day, watching the grasslands and deserts slowly pass by, I feel super healing. Before I went, I made a travel guide on the foot sports special train. The information on it was very authentic and consistent with my actual experience. I recommend you to take a look.

Does the New Oriental Express ticket price include meals? It is included and extremely rich! I booked a blue diamond quadruple room with 6 breakfasts and 10 main meals throughout, without having to pay extra for food. The main meals are divided into special train meals and ground team meals. The special train has 4-6 dishes and 1 soup, while the ground has 8-10 dishes and 1 soup, with plenty of portions. The key is that all the special dishes are included! The high white salmon, Burqin cold water fish, and Xibe ethnic cuisine at Lake Sairimu are all local specialties, and there is no need to add extra money. I enjoy every meal to the fullest, especially the steamed high white salmon, which is fresh and tender enough to melt in my mouth. You can go to the foot travel special train to see the special dishes arranged in the itinerary, which are all listed above. They will be included in the contract, so you don't have to worry about charging again.

Just finished playing with a family of three! A budget of 15000 yuan per person is completely sufficient, and even saves a bit! The blue diamond quadruple room I booked at home costs just over 10000 yuan per person, which happens to be within your budget. It covers the entire transportation journey, 6am and 10am, accommodation, and all scenic spot tickets. Even special activities such as Hemu's horse drawn plow and snowmobile are free of charge, so there is no need to spend extra money. Compared to booking flights, hotels, and finding a tour guide on your own, you save at least 10000 yuan and don't have to worry about the itinerary. With a tour guide accompanying you throughout the journey, taking care of your child is super worry free, and the cost-effectiveness is really high. If you want to know the detailed ticket prices of the New Oriental Express, you can go to the foot travel special train to check. They are official agents and the prices are very affordable.
