🚂 New Oriental Express Snow Lotus New Car Body:A mobile Silk Road palace, starting a deep slow journey through Xinjiang
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, how can you see all the natural wonders of the Tianshan Mountains north and south while avoiding travel fatigue? The newly upgraded New Oriental Express Snow Lotus new car body in 2026 is redefining the deep Xinjiang travel experience with the posture of a ‘mobile high-end hotel.’ It is not just a train but a comfortable residence that moves with the scenery—exploring secret places during the day, sleeping in the carriage at night, with luggage unmoved throughout the journey, truly achieving a relaxed and immersive journey.
🌄 Panoramic View of Routes and Destinations
The New Oriental Express Snow Lotus runs through the geographical essence of Xinjiang, covering the snowy mountains and lakes of Northern Xinjiang, the grasslands and flower seas of the Ili River Valley, and the highland ancient cities and cultural relics of Southern Xinjiang. The summer route in 2026 connects the canyon secrets of Keketuohai, the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village, the clear water and forests of Kanas Lake, the azure mirror of Sayram Lake, the endless green carpet of Nalati Grassland, and traverses the middle and southern sections of the Duku Highway, known as one of ‘China’s most beautiful highways.’ The Southern Xinjiang section delves into the Pamir Plateau, Baisha Lake, and the border scenery of Taxkorgan, exploring the historical texture of Kashgar Ancient City.
The October autumn schedule focuses on the golden season of Populus euphratica forests in Southern Xinjiang, passing through Ruoqiang, Hotan, Shache, Kuqa, and other places, visiting seasonal landscapes such as the Loulan cultural ruins, the night view of Yotkan Ancient City, and the thousand-year-old Populus euphratica forests along the Tarim River, showcasing the unique vastness and poetry of Xinjiang autumn.
The train adopts a ‘travel by day, move by night’ mode—stopping at scenic spots for in-depth tours during the day and running smoothly to the next stop at night, saving time and avoiding fatigue from long-distance travel. The entire train is equipped with en-suite bathrooms, a starry dome dining car, a Silk Road cultural corner, a multi-functional entertainment carriage, and has onboard medical staff, a five-star dining team, and dedicated butler service, making it especially suitable for family trips, elderly groups, and cultural experience enthusiasts.
