🚂 New Oriental Express Luxury Train:The Comfortable Choice for Immersive Slow Travel in Xinjiang in 2026

📍 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The 2026 summer itinerary of the New Oriental Express focuses on three core areas: Altay in northern Xinjiang, the Ili River Valley, and the Pamir Plateau in southern Xinjiang.
