In the vast and expansive Xinjiang, a truly deep journey connecting the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains unfolds at a rhythm of ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people are within the painting.’ In 2026, the New Oriental Express luxury tourist train, with its high-quality carriage configuration, scientifically planned itineraries, and seasonally differentiated routes, offers a new travel option for those seeking comfort and cultural experiences—exploring natural and cultural heartlands by day and sleeping soundly in a private mobile space by night, without the hassle of frequent luggage moving, making a panoramic tour of northern and southern Xinjiang effortless.
📍 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The New Oriental Express route spans core areas including Altay in northern Xinjiang, the Yili grasslands, Kashgar in southern Xinjiang, and the Pamir Plateau, covering diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, canyons, grasslands, desert oases, and historical ruins. The summer itinerary focuses on the mysterious Kanas, Hemu’s morning mist, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, the Nalati aerial grassland, the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayanbulak, and the Danxia wonders of the Kuqa Grand Canyon; the autumn itinerary shifts to special experiences like the poplar forests of southern Xinjiang, the Loulan cultural ruins, and treasure hunting in the Yurungkash River.
