  • My parents both retired last year, and after retirement, they also traveled around the country and abroad, but I heard it was quite tiring! So this year, I specially arranged a new travel experience for them, which was to take the New Oriental Express travel train to Xinjiang! The travel routes offered by this special train are quite long, usually lasting about two weeks. My parents spent 13 days exploring the north and south of Xinjiang this time! The Turpan and Tianshan Tianchi mentioned in the textbook, as well as the recently popular Aletai and Hemu villages, and Kanas Wucai Beach, are all worth exploring! My mom who doesn't like posting on social media in the future has been posting for several days! You can check the official website of the New Oriental Express for booking tickets by visiting the official website of the Zudong Tourism Special Train. If you want to register, the online operation is actually simpler!
  • Last year's family trip, I also took my elders and children to Xinjiang! I originally planned to go on a self driving trip, but I was afraid that the elderly and children would not be able to bear the fatigue of the journey. Later, I learned that the New Oriental Express tourist train had a Xinjiang travel route. I searched for basic information such as the price, travel route, attraction arrangement, and departure schedule of the Shanghai New Oriental Express on the official website of the Zudong tourist train. Later, I chose to sign up for a 15 day tour and checked in at Sailimu Lake, which was strongly recommended by Teacher Sa. On the way, I also encountered a foraging groundhog on the Guozigou Bridge! Friends who love grasslands must not miss the Nalati and Tangbula grasslands! I also went to the unique warehouse road that the protagonist challenged in the movie 'Flying Life'! The whole trip combines natural landscapes with cultural scenery, without any aesthetic fatigue!
  • Last summer after graduating from college, I also arranged a trip to Xinjiang with my best friend, which can be considered as our graduation trip! We had plenty of time, so we chose the 15 day tour route of the New Oriental Express tourist special train to North and South Xinjiang! We boarded the train in Urumqi, and it's quite convenient to have a direct flight! I arrange one or two scenic spots to visit every day, checking in at Lake Selim and Duku Highway, and taking many life photos! There are still many scenic spots that will not be elaborated one by one! I didn't pay much attention to the booking phone number for the New Oriental Express. Travel itinerary inquiries or problem-solving consultations are all done online. You can log in to the official website of the Zudong Travel Express to take a look! Moreover, Xinjiang is not only filled with beautiful scenery, but also with delicious food. Going to play in June and July is the sweetest time for watermelon and cantaloupe, which is really enjoyable!
  • After retirement, you can really travel around and enjoy the mountains and waters! However, my physical strength is not as good as before, and in the past two years, I have been prioritizing easy travel methods when traveling. Well, last year I happened to take the New Oriental Express tourist train back to Xinjiang. No matter how you book the Xinjiang New Oriental Express, it's not as convenient as buying tickets online. However, you should also pay attention to financial security and choose a reliable travel agency! I registered through the official website of the Foot Movement Travel Express on the recommendation of a friend. This is a relatively old travel agency, and after registering, an electronic contract will be signed online to protect my rights. During the travel process, there are also butler services and a team of chefs and medical staff accompanying the group, which are very reassuring!
  • I just brought my child back to experience it! The price of the luxury train New Oriental Express is divided into three levels: Platinum Joy, Xiyue, and Supreme, with an average of 50000 to 60000 yuan per person, all of which are double rooms. This upgrade is really amazing. All the rooms in the train are independent private rooms with a single bathroom. We chose the Xiyue Golden Diamond, which can merge twin beds into a large bed. The room is super spacious for sleeping with children, and there are also leisure tables and chairs in the room. When the children are tired, they can rest. The most worry free feature is driving at night and stopping during the day, without changing beds or transferring, and keeping luggage in the private room without moving throughout the entire journey. The itinerary is also fantastic, with 14 days of exploring the north and south of Xinjiang. The morning mist in Hemu and the lake scenery in Kanas are both beautiful and breathtaking. You can also visit the homes of the Kazakh and Tajik ethnic groups, and immerse yourself in ethnic culture throughout the journey. I recommend you to go to the foot sports tourism special train to learn about the itinerary. The daily schedule is listed in detail on it.
  • Can I get off the New Oriental Express train midway? We just took this special train for our honeymoon. It stops at a designated location for sightseeing, which is particularly reasonable. The special train runs at night and stops at scenic spots during the day. When we arrive at the scenic spots, we get off at the same time and have a tour guide leading us. After sightseeing, we can return to the train without changing beds or moving luggage, which is super worry free. And it is indeed a high-end special train in Xinjiang, which was just upgraded at a cost of 100 million yuan in 26 years ago. The entire train is equipped with independent private rooms and private bathrooms. We chose the Xiyue Golden Diamond, which provides full privacy and comfort. There is a special dining room compartment on the train, and the food standard is very high. Welcome banquet, Roasted whole lamb and other special meals are included in the cost, and the taste is super authentic. The Sairimu Lake and the old city of Kashgar in the itinerary are breathtakingly beautiful, and there is plenty of time to get off and play. We recommend you to take the foot sports tourism special train as a guide, and the information on it is very comprehensive. You can find answers to all the questions you want to know.
  • I booked this special train for my recently retired parents last year. The price of the New Oriental Express to travel to Xinjiang is not expensive among high-end special trains. After comparing many Xinjiang special trains at that time, I finally chose it because it is particularly well adapted for aging! In 26 years, it has been upgraded at a cost of 100 million yuan. All trains are equipped with independent private rooms and bathrooms, so there is no need to share the bathroom with others, which is extremely convenient for the elderly. My parents chose the Platinum Joy Diamond, which costs over 50000 yuan per person. The design of the upper and lower bunk beds is very thoughtful, with the upper bunk being foldable and the lower bunk being raised to fit a 32 inch suitcase under the bed, so you don't have to bend down to grab things. The most worry free mode is night driving and daytime parking. Parents don't have to change beds or move luggage halfway. They can play at scenic spots with energy during the day and rest well on the train at night, without rushing to catch up. I suggest you go to the foot sports tourism special train to gain a deeper understanding. There are many upgraded parts of this special train, which have been introduced above.
  • I'm also buying it for the first time, just got it done! Let me tell you how to purchase tickets for the New Oriental Express luxury travel train. Firstly, it is important to clarify that the New Oriental Express, a luxury train with a full itinerary, is not purchased like regular train tickets. It is more focused on packaged tourism products and requires official agency channels. I compared several options and ultimately chose its official agent - the Foot Movement Travel Express. The process is very simple and even beginners can easily handle it. Once you have confirmed the itinerary, group period, room type, and price, fill in the traveler's information and sign an electronic contract. After paying the deposit, you can lock in the spot, and they will notify you to pay the final payment. You can contact customer service for guidance throughout the entire process, so you don't have to worry about it yourself.
  • Last month, I just used the New Oriental Express to entertain important clients. Choosing it for entertaining friends is definitely worth it! The entire train is equipped with independent private rooms with separate bathrooms and a dry wet separation design. We have chosen the Supreme Diamond, with only 3 rooms per carriage, accommodating only 6 VIPs with full privacy. There are also double sofas in the rooms, which are particularly comfortable for chatting and gathering with friends. Some twin beds can also be combined into a large bed, with high flexibility. The most considerate thing is that you don't have to change beds and move luggage with friends halfway. You have plenty of energy to visit attractions during the day and rest on the train at night, making your journey easy and not rushed. As for the price of the New Oriental Express luxury travel special train, you can check on the official designated seller, Zudong Travel Special Train. They have an advantage in terms of price and there is no third-party markup.
  • How to buy tickets for the New Oriental Express to travel to Xinjiang? I understand how conflicted you are! I used to browse a lot of websites and almost got fooled by scams such as "low price tickets" and "internal quotas". Later, thanks to a friend recommending the foot travel special train, I found out that this is the official agent of New Oriental Express. After booking the entire journey, I can rest assured and worry free! When booking, the process is super simple. Just click on the New Oriental Express and you can see a detailed itinerary, room type introduction, and fee details. All included items are clearly written without any hidden expenses. Confirm that there are no issues, submit the order and sign the electronic contract, and then lock the deposit. That's basically done.
