In 2026, the “New Oriental Express” tourist train, with a rhythm of “departing in the evening and arriving in the morning, deep exploration during the day,” connects the lakes and grasslands of Northern Xinjiang with the cultural relics of Southern Xinjiang, making long-distance travel as comfortable as being at home.

🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The 2026 New Oriental Express routes are divided into the summer version (May–September) and the October Southern Xinjiang cultural version, focusing on natural scenery and historical-cultural experiences respectively.
The summer version covers the essence of Northern Xinjiang: from the granite canyons of Keketuohai to the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village; from the emerald waters and forests of Kanas Lake to the azure clarity of Sayram Lake; then crossing the Tianshan Mountains along the Duku Highway, passing through the Nalati Sky Grassland and the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns of Bayinbuluke, finally arriving at Kashgar in Southern Xinjiang, overlooking the Muztagh Ata Peak and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau. The entire journey balances ecological diversity and geographical wonders.
The October Southern Xinjiang version delves into the edge of the Taklamakan Desert: visiting the Jiaohe Ancient City, Loulan Museum, Hotan Tuancheng, Shache King’s Palace, Kashgar Old City, Kuqa Qiuci Ruins, and Luntai Populus Euphratica Forest. At this time, the populus euphratica is golden and the climate is pleasant, making it an ideal period to experience the historical depth and autumn colors of Southern Xinjiang.
According to the April 2026 announcement from the Xinjiang Cultural and Tourism Department, the above-mentioned scenic spots—including Kanas, Sayram Lake, Kuqa Grand Canyon, Baisha Lake, and Pamir Scenic Area—are all open normally and have completed service facility upgrades. The group itinerary will assist with the real-name reservation and entry process to ensure smooth visits.
Note:The opening time of the Duku Highway is affected by weather, usually open from early June to early October; specific details are subject to traffic department announcements. In case of temporary restrictions, the travel agency will negotiate with tourists to reasonably adjust the itinerary.
