🚂 2026 “Tianshan” Train:Slowly traverse thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, immersing yourself in a panoramic tour of Xinjiang
In an era of fast pace, a way of traveling is quietly returning — measuring the land with wheels, connecting scenery through the alternation of day and night. In 2026, the “Tianshan” New Oriental Express continues its core concept of “residential slow travel,” taking you across the northern and southern Tianshan Mountains, from snowy peaks and lakes to desert oases, from grassland pastures to ancient cities. Over 13 days, there is no need to change hotels, rush early mornings, or drag luggage. Explore deeply during the day and rest peacefully on the train at night, truly achieving “living in the scenery, traveling through the painting.”
