May I ask if there is a Shanghai bound train on the New Oriental Express Xinjiang tour? My parents have always wanted to visit Xinjiang and try special train travel.

They are all gathered in Urumqi. But the New Oriental Express is too friendly to the elderly! We booked a blue diamond 4-bedroom room, with my dad sleeping on the 180cm bunk bed without crowding. There is a damping device on the upper bunk, which folds up to form a two person room when not in use, making the space extremely spacious. There is a public shower and a small refrigerator in the carriage. The daily schedule is very relaxed, like on the day we go to Hemu, we can still sleep until we wake up naturally, without having to rush for the morning bus.

力争上游Is there a big difference between blue diamonds and silver diamonds? I want to book something more comfortable for my parents, but my budget is limited.Comment
嘎啦嘎啦AuthorReply力争上游:If the budget is enough, a double standard room is fantastic! Can share a separate washbasin. The budget is limited and choosing a 4-bedroom room is completely sufficient. The public shower room is very clean, with hot water available 24 hours a day. There are also attendants in the carriage who clean it every day. Regardless of the room type, it is much more comfortable than a regular train.Comment

Taking the New Oriental Express does indeed require arriving in Urumqi first! However, the cost-effectiveness is very high. The Blue Diamond 4-bedroom room includes 23 full meals and all tickets, and there is no need to pay extra for shuttle buses to 5A scenic spots such as Kanas and Lake Selim. The most considerate service is in the car, and any problems will arrive as soon as they are called. At night, I can also go to the bar car to attend lectures, and my dad and other elderly people gather together to play mahjong, which is not boring at all. There are still many entertainment options on this train. You can go to the foot sports tourism special train to see their facilities, which are explained in detail above.

yz_141980851AuthorReply阳光下的少年:Not rushing at all! There are only 1-2 scenic spots every day, such as the 1068 steps of Kanas Fish Observation Platform. If you don't want to climb, you can take a walk on the wooden boardwalk by the lake, and the tour guide won't rush you. The section of Duku Highway is for sightseeing by car, there is no need to walk much. And the accommodation is all five diamond standard. The Yunshang Zun Hotel in Bayin Town has a particularly soft mattress, and my mom says she can sleep well every day without any knee pain.Comment

Are there any trains from Shanghai on the New Oriental Express Xinjiang tour? There is currently no direct train from Shanghai to Xinjiang. We took our parents there last year and flew from Shanghai to Urumqi. But it's particularly worry free. The night before the trip, I received a text message from the staff stating a pick-up time. As soon as I left the gate at Urumqi Airport, I saw someone holding a New Oriental Express VIP sign and directly took us to Ruihao International Hotel. My parents didn't have to worry about our luggage at all. The special train is a mode where the car follows the person, without the need to change the body midway. It is very convenient to put luggage on the car, especially suitable for the elderly. For a more detailed itinerary, you can check on the foot travel special train. They are the official agents and the information is very comprehensive.
