New Oriental Express Xinjiang Tour:15-Day Luxury Train In-Depth Experience Comprehensive Guide
🌄 [Route Highlights:Mobile viewing platform traversing the north and south of Tianshan Mountains]
As a representative of Xinjiang’s high-end tourism trains, the New Oriental Express utilizes a composite tour mode of ‘train + car’ to connect the snowy mountains and grasslands of northern Xinjiang with the cultural wonders of southern Xinjiang. The train, newly upgraded in 2026, is equipped with panoramic glass viewing cars, en-suite compartments, and a Michelin-starred chef team, allowing travelers to enjoy Xinjiang’s seasonal scenery in a moving ‘five-star hotel’.
The train route is cleverly designed to avoid the long-distance bumpy rides of traditional coach tours, with daily travel time limited to 4 hours, allowing the rest of the time to delve into the core of scenic areas. For example:
Duku Highway:Traverse the ‘Most Beautiful Highway in China’ from northern to southern Xinjiang, enjoying vertical natural wonders of all four seasons along the way;
Pamir Plateau:Visit Baisha Lake at an altitude of 5,000 meters and get up close to Muztagh Ata;
Kanas Lake:Stay in characteristic wooden houses within the scenic area and enjoy the ‘Fairy Bay’ shrouded in morning mist alone in the early morning.
