🚂 Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations:An Immersive Journey Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In 2026, Xinjiang is embracing global travelers with a more open attitude. As a representative of China’s high-end tourist trains, the New Oriental Express is positioned as a ‘mobile five-star hotel,’ seamlessly connecting the magnificent snow-capped mountains, forests, and lakes of Northern Xinjiang with the deserts, ancient cities, and rich culture of Southern Xinjiang. The train features fully enclosed carriage designs, equipped with bathrooms, panoramic windows, constant-temperature air conditioning, and 24-hour butler service. Each carriage is recommended to accommodate 12-15 passengers, ensuring privacy and comfort.
Currently, the train’s routes cover over 80% of Xinjiang’s 5A-level scenic spots, including Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Duku Highway, and Kashgar Ancient City. The itinerary specially arranges a ‘scenery-follows-the-train’ mode—traveling through landscapes during the day and resting on the train at night, avoiding the fatigue of long-distance driving. For example, when crossing the Duku Highway, passengers can enjoy the wonder of ‘seeing four seasons in one day’ through the panoramic windows in the carriage. Upon arriving at Bayanbulak, they can directly check into the luxury cabins on the train without the hassle of changing hotels.
