🚂 2026 New Orient Express 14-Day Southern and Northern Xinjiang Tour:A moving scenic line across the Tianshan Mountains
Xinjiang is vast with scattered attractions. Traditional self-driving or bus tours often face long bumpy rides and frequent transfers. The ‘New Orient Express’ tourist train, with its ‘travel by night, tour by day, one berth throughout’ model, offers tourists a comfortable and efficient way to travel—exploring scenic spots during the day and sleeping in private carriages at night, with no need to move luggage repeatedly, truly achieving ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people travel within a painting.’
This route spans the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains, connecting the forest lakes of Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, the grassland flower seas of the Ili River Valley, the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway, and the snowy mountain lakes of the Pamir Plateau and the cultural texture of Kashgar Old City in Southern Xinjiang. The itinerary covers diverse landscapes including mountains, grasslands, deserts, oases, glaciers, lakes, and canyons, with varied seasonal scenery: vibrant spring in May, cool summer from June to August, early poplar colors in September, and rich autumn hues in October. The train is equipped with compartments, soft sleeper seats, desks, wardrobes, and some with bathroom facilities. Service staff are on duty 24/7, and basic medical emergency equipment is available, balancing travel and rest quality. During ground tours, accommodation standards are also guaranteed, with selected local quality hotels and upgraded high-star configurations on certain dates, creating a rhythm of ‘rest on the train + in-depth hotel experience.’
