🚂 Slow Travel in Xinjiang, Poetic Dwelling on Wheels — 2026 New Oriental Express 14-Day North and South Xinjiang Tour Special Train Departs
On the vast land of Xinjiang, from the morning mist of the Altai Mountains to the snowy peaks of the Pamir Plateau, from the lavender of the Ili River Valley to the poplar forests of the Tarim Basin, nature and culture intertwine into a magnificent画卷. However, journeys spanning thousands of kilometers often make in-depth exploration difficult. To solve this problem, the 2026 ‘New Oriental Express’ tourist train continues the model of ‘departing in the evening, arriving in the morning, sleeping on the train, and sightseeing during stops,’ allowing tourists to focus on scenery during the day and sleep comfortably in a moving space at night, truly realizing ‘lying down to see Xinjiang.’
This train is not just a mode of transportation but a mobile home equipped with bathrooms, air conditioning, power outlets, and reading lights. The crew provides round-the-clock service, and there is no need to frequently move luggage throughout the journey, making it suitable for travelers seeking a relaxed pace and deep experience.
📍 Route and Destination Highlights
The New Oriental Express runs through the Tianshan Mountains, connecting northern Xinjiang’s Kanas Lake, Hemu Village, Colorful Beach, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak Wetland, and southern Xinjiang’s Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, Pamir Plateau, Kuqa Grand Canyon, and other core attractions. The itinerary also includes scenic highways like the Duku Highway and Ahe Highway, and visits Silk Road relics such as the Jiaohe Ruins and Loulan cultural remains.
The landscapes along the route are rich and diverse: snow-capped mountains and glaciers, forests and lakes, Gobi deserts, and oasis grasslands appear alternately, each stop showcasing Xinjiang’s unique natural texture. The opening status of scenic spots and transfer arrangements are based on the actual policies of the 2026 season. If force majeure factors occur, the travel agency will negotiate reasonable optimization plans with tourists.
