🌄 Detailed Route and Destination Introduction
The 2026 summer route of the New Oriental Express spans multiple geographical units of Xinjiang, covering the forest lakes of the Altay region, the grassland flower seas of the Ili River Valley, the canyon wonders of the Tianshan hinterland, and the snowy peaks and lakes of the Pamir Plateau. Along the way, the landscapes are diverse and distinct across seasons, featuring the geological wonders of Keketuohai, the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Village, the azure waters of Sayram Lake, and the unique experience of experiencing four seasons in one day on the Duku Highway.
