As the 2026 Xinjiang tourism peak season fully kicks off, more and more tourists are choosing to deeply explore the Tianshan region via tourist trains in the form of ‘mobile hotels.’ Among them, the ‘New Oriental Express’ has become a focus for high-end travelers due to its unique carriage configuration, panoramic routes spanning northern and southern Xinjiang, and immersive service experience. However, recently some unofficial platforms have emerged, using slogans like ‘limited spots’ and ‘low-price booking’ to attract traffic, posing risks of false information, missing contracts, or even inability to enter scenic spots. To protect travel rights, this article, based on the latest verifiable information, sorts out real itineraries, price structures, and compliant registration paths to help you avoid pitfalls and set off with peace of mind.
📍 Route Highlights:A Journey Through Northern Xinjiang’s Secrets and Southern Xinjiang’s Culture
The 2026 summer and autumn schedules of the New Oriental Express cover the core landscape belt of the entire Xinjiang region. Starting from Keketuohai, Hemu, and Kanas Lake in Altay in the north, reaching Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, and Taxkorgan on the Pamir Plateau in the south, and passing through the entire Duku Highway, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Kuqa Grand Canyon, and Turpan Basin, it forms a complete loop traversing the Tianshan Mountains and spanning the Tarim Basin. The train uses fixed formations and exclusive carriages, allowing sightseeing during the day and resting on the train at night, effectively alleviating long-distance travel fatigue. Accommodation, meals, tickets, and inter-regional transportation are all included in the tour fee, reducing uncertainty about temporary expenses.
According to current management requirements of Xinjiang’s cultural and tourism departments for scenic area openings, all itinerary points are national A-level or above officially open scenic spots, compliant with border defense regulations, requiring no complex procedures for tourists. Additionally, the route design fully considers seasonal suitability—from June to September, the Ili River Valley is in full bloom, the Duku Highway is fully open, and Kanas Lake has abundant water, making it the richest period for landscape layers; October focuses on special experiences like the yellowing of southern Xinjiang poplar forests, Ruoqiang jujube picking, and Hotan Jade River treasure hunting, avoiding the summer peak crowds for a more relaxed pace.
