Explore Xinjiang:Embark on a worry-free journey aboard the New Oriental Express train 🚂
1. Detailed Introduction to Itinerary or Destination: Why Xinjiang is Worth an In-Depth Tour?
Xinjiang, covering one-sixth of China’s land area, is a treasure trove of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, lakes, and canyons, earning it the title of ‘Natural Geological Museum.’ By 2026, with continuous improvements in transportation networks, Xinjiang’s tourist trains have become a popular choice for exploring this vast region. The New Oriental Express, a premier tourist train, is designed to the standards of a ‘mobile five-star hotel,’ featuring shock absorption and noise reduction technology, en-suite bathrooms, large observation windows, and constant temperature air conditioning. The train also includes amenities such as a bar, KTV, and a scenic dining car, ensuring passengers’ comfort and convenience throughout their journey.
Xinjiang’s tourism resources are widely distributed, with Northern Xinjiang focusing on natural landscapes, such as the legend of the monster in Kanas Lake and the ‘Last Tear Drop of the Atlantic’ at Sayram Lake. Southern Xinjiang, on the other hand, excels in cultural history, with attractions like the century-old teahouses in Kashgar’s Old Town and the snow-capped mountains and lakes of the Pamir Plateau, showcasing the fusion of various ethnic cultures. The train’s itinerary covers key attractions in both northern and southern Xinjiang, avoiding the fatigue of long-distance self-driving and making it particularly suitable for middle-aged and elderly travelers or families seeking quality travel experiences.
