🚂 New Oriental Express Luxury Train:2026 New Mobile Living Experience Across Xinjiang
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, deserts, and ancient cities weave a magnificent picture. In 2026, a travel method combining comfort, privacy, and in-depth exploration is gaining favor among more tourists—riding the ‘New Oriental Express’ luxury tourist train, immersing in the northern and southern regions of the Tianshan Mountains at a slow pace with high comfort. This is not just a transportation journey but a ‘mobile vacation space’ integrating accommodation, dining, sightseeing, and cultural experiences.
📍 In-depth Introduction to Routes and Destinations
The ‘New Oriental Express’ operates in the core area of Northwest China, covering the ecological secrets of Altay in Northern Xinjiang, the grassland belt of the Ili River Valley, the entire Duku Highway, the eastern edge of the Pamir Plateau, and the cultural hub of Kashgar in Southern Xinjiang. The itinerary connects the canyon wonders of Keketuohai, the morning mist and birch trees of Hemu Village, the clear waters and forests of Kanas Lake, the azure clarity of Sayram Lake, the green carpet of Nalati Grassland, the sunset spectacle of the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns at Bayanbulak, and the living texture of the thousand-year-old streets of Kashgar’s old city.
Currently (late May 2026), Northern Xinjiang has fully entered late spring and early summer, with grasslands turning green, lakes thawing, and pleasant weather; Southern Xinjiang’s temperatures have risen steadily, suitable for high-altitude activities. The train design fully considers sightseeing needs, equipped with panoramic constant-temperature windows with electric heating defogging functions, allowing clear capture of the flowing scenery outside regardless of weather. The carriage interiors incorporate Eastern aesthetic elements, creating a tranquil and elegant living atmosphere.
