🚂 Slow travel through Xinjiang, living in the scenery:2026 New Oriental Express sets off anew
In the era of fast-paced travel, more and more people yearn to ‘slow down’—not just to rush through attractions, but to make the journey itself an enjoyment. In 2026, the newly upgraded New Oriental Express luxury tour train, with its ‘mobile home’ concept, offers tourists a relaxed, comfortable, and in-depth way to explore Xinjiang. It doesn’t rely on rushing; instead, it takes 14 days to slowly unfold the snowy mountains and lakes of northern Xinjiang, the desert oases of southern Xinjiang, the grasslands and canyons, and cultural relics outside the window.
This tour train is organized and operated by Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service, with both the starting and ending points in Urumqi, traversing the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, covering classic areas like Kanas, Duku Highway, Pamir Plateau, and Tarim Poplar Forest. The train adopts an alternating accommodation mode of ‘onboard + ground hotels’—exploring scenic spots during the day and returning to cabins with bathrooms at night, eliminating the need to repeatedly move luggage throughout the journey, greatly reducing travel burden. It is especially suitable for retirees, tourists who are not suitable for long car rides, families seeking comfort, or groups traveling together.
