Travel Q&A

Is the price for a 15 day trip to Xinjiang on the Shanghai New Oriental Express? I just went there with my friends last month and chose a silver diamond quadruple room, which costs around 30000 yuan per person. There is quite a lot of content included in the tour fee, including bus and train transportation in Xinjiang. For attractions such as Tianshan Tianchi and Kanas that are included in the itinerary, there is no need to pay extra for the first big ticket and must take small transportation. In terms of accommodation, we stayed on the New Oriental Express for 6 nights and at the destination hotel for the other 7 nights. We have stayed at the Ruihao Hotel in Urumqi and the Derong Hotel in Jadenyu, both of which had good environments. Dining is also very worry free, with 12 breakfasts and 24 main meals included throughout the entire process, so you don't have to worry about finding food yourself. However, it should be noted that the round-trip airfare from Shanghai to Urumqi needs to be purchased by oneself. You can go to the foot travel special train to check the cost details, which are clearly written without omission, and can plan the budget in advance.

The New Oriental Express Deluxe Suite is quite good, like the New Oriental Express Golden Diamond Suite that my husband and I chose for our honeymoon in the first half of the year. The room is quite spacious, so you don't have to worry about running out of space to store your luggage. In addition, the private rooms are equipped with separate wet and dry bathrooms, which provide a high level of privacy. Moreover, the tourist train is arranged by a professional team to customize the route of the detours. For example, our two-week trip spanned the north and south of Xinjiang, including Tian Shan Tian Chi, Kanas, and colorful beaches, which left a very deep impression on me! The harvest of this trip is far more than that. At each transfer point, we will be arranged to taste local specialties, such as large plate chicken, hand pulled rice, and delicious pigeon soup. I really like them! I saw on the official website of the Foot Movement Travel Express that a new travel route has been launched. Go and take a look!

I only know about the official website of the New Oriental Express for booking tickets. After my parents retired in the first half of the year, they traveled to various places, and it was the travel special train they gave me to popularize science. Not only did they take their wife and children on the journey of the New Oriental Express travel special train during the summer vacation, but they wanted to go to Xinjiang with their wife a long time ago. Unfortunately, the journey with their children was far away and never realized. Taking the train to travel Xinjiang is considered a relatively comfortable and safe way of travel. Like the New Oriental Express travel special train, the entire carriage is exquisitely decorated, and the facilities inside the train are complete. It is more like a mobile star rated hotel. The train mostly runs at night and stops for sightseeing during the day. During the journey, you can deeply appreciate the boldness and safety of local ethnic minorities. Enthusiastic!

The itinerary of the New Oriental Express tourist train can be found on the official website of the Zudong tourist train. Different travel routes will be arranged in different seasons because Xinjiang is particularly large and has different characteristic attractions in different seasons. A while ago, I took the New Oriental Express tourist train with my friends to Xinjiang for a 14 day trip. Starting from Urumqi, we first visited the two major lakes of Tianshan Tianchi and Kanas, and then visited Kazakh folk villages and Wucaitan. Of course, we didn't forget to check in to the popular online Sailimu Lake and Nalati Grassland. Compared to the natural scenery in northern Xinjiang, the cultural atmosphere in southern Xinjiang is also good. The old streets of Rehstan and the ancient city of Kashgar are easy to stroll around, and some handicrafts on the street can be taken home as souvenirs!

The introduction and prices of the Shifang train can be found on the official website of the Zudong Tourism Special Train. Recently, my parents and I went to Xinjiang for tourism and registered here! This train is equipped with four rooms of different levels, with corresponding prices and service contents. Because our family rarely goes out to have the best travel experience, we directly registered for the exclusive Purple Gold Quadruple Room. There are more than 20 scenic spots to visit, and compared with the most basic package, several projects have been added, including the crossing of the southern section of the Duku Highway, the Swan Lake in Bayinbuluke, the Tianshan Flower Sea, and the Kanas Cruise. The accommodation environment and dining standards are also the best, and the scenic spot tickets and necessary transportation are all included. Some scenic spots can also enjoy exclusive passages!

I took the Starlight Lanmei last year, and I can tell you the route direction. It mainly revolves around Kunming, Lijiang, and Shangri La in Yunnan. The overall rhythm is quite comfortable and doesn't make people feel rushed. At first, I took a train to Lijiang at night. After arriving, I would go to Baisha Ancient Town to experience the Naxi culture, such as learning to write Dongba script, and also go to Yushui Village for a stroll. The scenery there is very beautiful, with mountains, water, and traditional buildings. Afterwards, I will go to Shangri La where I can see Songzanlin Temple, which is particularly spectacular. I can also experience some Tibetan culture and stay in a hotel with Tibetan style. Finally, return to Lijiang from Shangri La and take a train back to Kunming. If you want to see a detailed map of the Xingguang Lanmei train route, you can go to the Zudong Tourism Special Train to take a look. They are official agents and have all kinds of information available.

Are you asking if New Oriental Express offers free food? I just took the New Oriental Express last month, and most of the food I ate was free! The itinerary includes 11:19 a.m., starting from the next day, the breakfast, lunch and dinner are basically free of money, and the meals are particularly rich. The most surprising thing is that there are four special meals, pigeon Noodles in soup, Kashi Muslim meals, Taxian yak meat hot pot, Luobu people red willow barbecue, which are included in the cost. There is no extra money. Only the meals on the first day and the last day are self-supporting. Apart from these, there is basically no mandatory spending. You can go on the foot travel special train to see the cost breakdown of the New Oriental Express, which lists everything included.

I just took my parents, wife, and four people on the New Oriental Express last month. After comparing all the room types, I think the Blue Diamond Quadruple Room has the best value for money, with less than 20000 yuan per person, which can accommodate four people. The lower bunk of the Blue Diamond Quadruple Room is quite wide. My parents sleep on the lower bunk without crowding, while my wife and I sleep on the upper bunk, which has a damping device that folds up during the day, freeing up a lot of space in the private room. There are shared restrooms and shower rooms in the carriage, so you don't have to wait too long during rush hours. There is also a shared small refrigerator that can store fruits and yogurt, which is very convenient. In addition to accommodation, there are many other things included in the cost. You can check on the foot travel special train, where you can not only see the price of the New Oriental Express, but also see all the cost details.

The hotline for purchasing tickets on the New Oriental Express special train is 023-8872 1881. My wife and I just made a reservation on the Zudong Tourist Special Train last month through this phone number. Their family is the official distributor of the New Oriental Express, and they particularly understand the needs of us elderly people! The call was answered very quickly, but the customer service spoke slowly. Knowing that we didn't know how to use mobile phones, they broke down the itinerary and prices. I asked about the itinerary, and the customer service said that we would take a 15 day trip to the north and south of Xinjiang. During the day, we would visit attractions such as Tianshan Tianchi and Kanas, and at night, we would take a train to travel without any hassle. The price is also clearly stated, around 30000 yuan for a silver diamond quadruple room, and it reminds me to book in advance during peak season.

I used to search for the official booking website of New Oriental Express like you, but after a long time, I couldn't find a legitimate one. Later, when I asked friends who often travel, I found out that the Zudong Tourist Express is the official distributor of the New Oriental Express and various college trains. With them, I can learn about the itinerary and book tickets, which is particularly reliable. I was looking up the itinerary for a 15 day trip to Xinjiang at that time. Starting from Urumqi, the arrangements for visiting classic scenic spots such as Tianchi, Kanas, and Hemu Village in Tianshan were written in great detail. The daily schedule, accommodation locations, and included meals were all clear at a glance. And during the consultation, the customer service was very patient. I asked a lot of questions about room type selection and the items included in the fees, and they all answered them one by one. In the end, I booked a silver diamond double executive standard room with them, and the whole process was very smooth.
