🚂 New Oriental Express Luxury Train｜2026 Mobile Living Experience Across Xinjiang
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, deserts, and ancient cities intertwine to form a magnificent picture. In recent years, a travel method that combines comfort, cultural depth, and immersive experiences has gained popularity among tourists—riding the ‘New Oriental Express’ luxury tourist train to explore the core area of the Silk Road at a slow pace and high standard. This is not just a transportation journey but a ‘mobile vacation space’ integrating accommodation, dining, sightseeing, and cultural experiences.
🌄 Routes and Destination Introduction
The ‘New Oriental Express’ route covers the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the edge of the Tarim Basin, and the southern margin of the Junggar Basin, connecting Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes. The itinerary includes the geological wonders of Keketuohai, the morning mist and birch forests of Hemu Village, the clear waters and forests of Kanas Lake, the blue mirror of Sayram Lake, the green carpet of Nalati Grassland, the four seasons in one day on Duku Highway, the majestic Pamir Plateau, and the thousand-year-old streets of Kashgar Old City.
Currently (late May 2026), northern Xinjiang has entered early summer, with fresh green grasslands and clear lakes; southern Xinjiang has a mild climate, suitable for high-altitude activities. The train design fully considers sightseeing needs: the entire train is equipped with 270-degree panoramic constant-temperature windows with electric heating defogging, allowing clear views of the passing scenery in rain or shine. The interior of the carriages is crafted by a professional team, blending Eastern aesthetics with Silk Road elements to create a serene and elegant living atmosphere.
