🚂 Slow travel across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, experiencing the landscapes of all four seasons in one train — A 14-day in-depth journey on the New Oriental Express Snow Lotus
In the vast expanse of Xinjiang, the north boasts the lake and mountain scenery of Kanas and the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu, while the south features the clear lakes of the Pamir Plateau and the vibrant atmosphere of ancient cities. However, distances of over a thousand kilometers often cause tourists to miss out on in-depth experiences amidst the rush. In 2026, the ‘New Oriental Express’ luxury tourist train adopts a model of ‘departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, sleeping on the train, and sightseeing after getting off,’ turning the journey into a mobile comfortable residence — focusing on play during the day and resting peacefully at night, truly achieving ‘slow travel in Xinjiang.’

The Duku Highway usually opens in early June each year; specific traffic conditions are subject to real-time announcements from the transportation department.
The temperature difference between day and night in plateau areas is large; it is recommended to bring warm clothing; some scenic spots are at high altitudes, so please pay attention to physical adaptation.
The itinerary involves multiple A-level scenic spots, all requiring real-name reservation for entry; the travel agency will assist with the process uniformly.
In case of extreme weather, traffic control, or temporary closure of scenic spots, the itinerary can be reasonably modified upon mutual agreement.
