🚂 [New Oriental Express Tour of Xinjiang｜2026 In-depth Loop Experience, One Train Across the Tianshan Mountains from North to South]
If you’ve ever imagined traveling through snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, and lakes aboard a moving ‘luxury hotel,’ then the New Oriental Express might be the Xinjiang travel experience you’ve been waiting for. Unlike regular group tours or self-driving trips, this train uses comfortable carriages as its base, connecting the mysterious Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, the Ili River Valley, the Duku Highway, the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang, and the Turpan Basin, offering an immersive journey where ‘the scenery moves with the train, and the train moves with the scenery.’ In 2026, this route continues to optimize service details, preserving classic landscapes while enhancing rest experiences and cultural perception during the trip.
🌄 Route Highlights:One Train, See the Essence of Xinjiang’s Four Seasons
The New Oriental Express is not an ordinary tourist train but a high-end travel train equipped with private compartments, bathrooms, panoramic windows, and a dedicated service team. The itinerary covers Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes:
Northern Xinjiang Section:The canyon wonders of Keketuohai, the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village, the deep blue of Kanas Lake, and the sunset light and shadow of the Rainbow Beach;
Ili River Valley:The crystal-clear ‘Last Tear of the Atlantic’ at Sayram Lake, the endless green carpet of the Nalati Grassland;
Duku Highway:Experience all four seasons in one day, from the nine bends and eighteen turns of Bayanbulak to the red rock walls of the Kuqa Grand Canyon;
Southern Xinjiang Charm (October Departures):The alley textures of Kashgar Old City, the White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, and the highland scenery of Taxkorgan;
Eastern Xinjiang Culture:The Jiaohe Ruins in Turpan, the Karez irrigation system, and the pastoral poetry of the Grape Manor.
The train operates on a nighttime travel, daytime sightseeing model, saving time while ensuring passengers get adequate rest. The carriages provide three meals, hot water, and basic medical support, reducing the hassle of frequently changing hotels.
