🚂 2026 New Oriental Express Luxury Train:A Slow Journey Through Mountains and Rivers
On the vast land of Xinjiang, a travel method is quietly becoming the top choice for deep travel enthusiasts—taking a tourist train, stopping at key attractions during the day, sleeping soundly in a stable carriage at night, without repeatedly moving luggage, with a relaxed and unhurried pace. In 2026, the ‘New Oriental Express’ continues to offer high-quality services and carefully designed routes, taking tourists deep into the secrets of Northern Xinjiang and the heart of Southern Xinjiang, experiencing the seasonal landscapes of the Tianshan Mountains.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The ‘New Oriental Express’ is not an ordinary train but a mobile resort space integrating accommodation, dining, and cultural commentary. The 2026 itinerary covers multiple core areas including Altay, Ili, Bayanbulak, Kashgar, and Turpan, connecting snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, desert oases, and historical sites.
Summer routes highlight the ecological beauty of Northern Xinjiang:The granite landforms of Keketuohai, the morning mist and smoke of Hemu Village, the turquoise waters and forests of Kanas Lake, the sunset light and shadows of the Colorful Beach, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, the aerial grasslands of Nalati, and the magnificent landscape of the Duku Highway experiencing ‘four seasons in one day’. Autumn shifts to the blend of culture and nature in Southern Xinjiang: Loulan cultural relics, treasure hunting in the Yurungkash River, the Shache Palace, the streets of Kashgar’s old city, the White Sand Lake and Muztagh Ata views on the Pamir Plateau, and the golden autumn colors of the Populus euphratica forest in Luntai.
All scenic spots involved in the itineraries are mature attractions currently open normally (as of May 2026). Group travel will assist with real-name reservation and entry processes. In case of weather, traffic, or policy changes, the travel agency and tourists can negotiate reasonable itinerary optimizations, balancing effort and experience.
