🚞 Complete Guide to Booking the 2026 New Oriental Express Xinjiang Tour
Many travelers who want to explore Xinjiang in depth pay close attention to exclusive tourist train itineraries. The New Oriental Express, a tourist train focused on comfortable long-distance journeys, offers 2026 Xinjiang routes covering multiple scenic spots in Northern and Southern Xinjiang. Without the need to frequently change hotels or endure long self-driving trips, it allows everyone to experience Xinjiang’s natural scenery and cultural landscapes in a more relaxed state.
🌿 Route Feature Introduction
Xinjiang has vast territory with distinct seasonal landscapes. From May to September, Northern Xinjiang features lush mountain forests, clear plateau lakes, and rolling grasslands. In October, Southern Xinjiang showcases golden poplar forests, rich historical and cultural sites, and unique fruit-picking experiences. The New Oriental Express route avoids crowded sections of regular tour groups, stopping at multiple scenic spots such as Koktokay, Hemu Village, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak, Kuqa Grand Canyon, Pamir Scenic Area, Kashgar Old City, Jiaohe Ruins, Loulan Museum, Tarim Poplar Forest, and Tianshan Tianchi. Travelers can choose the corresponding schedule based on their travel time and scenic interests.
The train’s configuration is also comfort-oriented, with each compartment having its own bathroom facilities. Service staff are available throughout the journey to provide dining, travel reminders, and other services. Ground transfers are arranged with air-conditioned tour buses to ensure a smoother travel experience. All scenic spots involved are currently open. Before traveling, you can learn about the visiting precautions for each scenic area. For example, some plateau areas have large temperature differences between day and night, so appropriate clothing should be prepared. Lakeside and grassland areas have strong ultraviolet rays, so sun protection measures should be taken.
