The Eastern & Oriental Express in Asia is restarting, crossing tropical jungles and touring around Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand

Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore have recently announced visa-free policies for China, and the Eastern & Oriental Express, which tours around Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, will make a grand return in February 2024. The train departs from Singapore, passes through Malaysia and Bangkok, and then returns to Singapore! The Eastern & Oriental Express consists of several dark green carriages. After being renovated and upgraded, the interior is as luxurious as a five-star hotel, with Malaysian-style patterns, Thai carvings and decorations... These inspirations from different Asian countries constitute the Southeast Asian style of the 19th century, elegant and gorgeous. In addition to different levels of passenger carriages, the train is also equipped with two dining carriages and a salon carriage. The luxurious dinner prepared by chefs from the UK, France, Malaysia, and India adds color to the journey. Tasting delicious food and wine, dancing with your loved ones in the melodious music, you will never feel bored on the train at night! The train is over 2000 kilometers long and passes through various landscapes of three countries. Through the window, from bustling cities to mysterious ancient rainforests, a unique Southeast Asian journey slowly unfolds. The returning Eastern & Oriental Express has launched two seasonal sightseeing routes, making the journey more colorful! 1️⃣ Malaysia Cultural Essence Tour Route: Singapore—Kuala Lumpur—Langkawi—Penang—Johor—Singapore The journey lasts for 3 nights, starting from Woodlands Train Station in Singapore. Sitting in the luxurious and comfortable cabin, looking at the changing urban landscape and green mountains outside the window, heading to Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi and other places with the joy of dinner after nightfall. After a night's sleep, the paddy fields and villages in the west of Malaysia come into view, feeling the strong rural natural atmosphere. Get off at Alor Setar Station, take a boat to Paya Island Marine Park in Langkawi, cocktails and barbecues on the shore, angelfish and eels underwater, surfing and snorkeling in the blue sea, feeling free and happy. After returning to the train at night, there are performances by local artists! On the third day, arrive at Penang, the cultural melting pot of Malaysia. From the west coast to the north coast, traditional Malaysian culture thrives here. The encounter of herbs and vegetables gave birth to Nyonya cuisine developed by overseas Chinese who moved to Malaysia. Nyonya cuisine is diverse in flavor, sour and sweet, spicy and fragrant, slightly spicy, different practices bring out different deliciousness, what remains unchanged is their nostalgia for their homeland! In George Town, magnificent temples, various art studios and puppet theaters form a journey of traditional Malaysian culture and art. Strolling through the streets and alleys of the old town, indulging in a foreign country, feeling the rich and vivid traditional Malaysian tea ceremony and street art. Finally, cross the rainforest and beaches to reach Johor State, cross the strait to Singapore, the green rainforest, the vast ocean, and the modern city with high-rise buildings, the scenery outside the window keeps changing, and finally ends in Singapore! 2️⃣ Malaysia Natural Fun Tour Route: Singapore—Gemas—Taman Negara National Park—Kuala Lumpur—Penang—Johor—Singapore Compared with the Cultural Essence Tour, there are more places to pass and the itinerary is more compact. In addition to tasting Malaysian Nyonya cuisine, enjoying the scenery of Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, and Malaysian jungles, this journey also cooperates with the global tiger conservation charity 'Save Wild Tigers' to explore the habitat of wild animals in the oldest tropical rainforest in the world. The Malayan tiger is regarded as the national beast of Malaysia, with orange and black stripes all over its body, and their images are also in the train decorations. Cross the dense jungle of Malaysia to Taman Negara National Park, where Malayan tigers live. They live in the rainforest, passengers can explore their territory, the thrilling 'Tiger Territory' wildlife exploration activity is usually hard to experience, and taking adventure photos in the jungle with local staff, leaving a souvenir photo, will be an unforgettable moment in a lifetime. Finally return to the train, after passing through Kuala Lumpur, arrive in Penang, barbecue and play with local chefs and artists; watch the sea in Johor, the endless blue makes people feel relaxed at a glance; finally return to Singapore, end the journey with the company of the sea and the forest!
