🌄 Route or Destination Details
The 2026 summer itinerary of the New Oriental Express focuses on the Kanas秘境, Hemu morning mist, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, the Nalati aerial grassland, the Bayanbulak Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns, and the Danxia wonders of Kuqa Grand Canyon; the October southern Xinjiang itinerary shifts to features like Loulan cultural ruins, treasure hunting in the Hotan Jade River, and poplar forests at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert. The places along the way showcase both the wonders of nature and the millennia-old civilization marks of the Silk Road.
The train is designed with the concept of ‘scenery moving with the train’—traveling at night and stopping during the day, so tourists don’t need to frequently move luggage or switch hotels, truly achieving ‘light travel.’ The carriages blend modern comfort with cultural elements, and some trips offer cultural docent services to narrate historical stories of various places, enhancing the journey’s knowledge and immersion.
