🚂 A slow journey crossing north and south of the Tianshan Mountains:2027 New Oriental Express Xinjiang High-End Train Experience
In this fast-paced era, a way of traveling is quietly returning—measuring the land with wheels and connecting mountains and rivers through window views. In 2027, the New Oriental Express continues to operate the classic route spanning northern and southern Xinjiang, incorporating snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, desert edges, and oasis ancient cities into a 14-day moving picture. This is not a hurried check-in tour, but an immersive geographical and cultural journey, with a moving luxury train as your home throughout, eliminating the hassle of frequently moving luggage and switching hotels, allowing the journey itself to become part of the scenery.
📍 Route Highlights and Destination Details
This itinerary runs through eastern and western Xinjiang, starting from Urumqi and heading north deep into the Altay region to visit Kanas and Hemu, known as the “back garden”; then heading south along the Ahe Highway, passing through the Ili River Valley, crossing the Nalati Grassland and Bayanbulak Wetland; then via the southern section of the Duku Highway into the heart of southern Xinjiang, arriving at the thousand-year trading town of Kashgar; finally returning east to Turpan and Urumqi, forming a complete loop.
Along the way, various landforms are covered: the clear waters of Tianchi reflect snow peaks, the Yardang landforms of Wucaitan glow brilliantly in the sunset, Sayram Lake is like a sapphire set among the mountains of Guozigou, Nalati is a rolling green carpet, the winding bends of Bayanbulak meander like ribbons, the Tianshan Secret Grand Canyon features majestic red rock walls, Baisha Lake lies quietly beneath the Kunlun Mountains, and Kashgar Old City retains a rich atmosphere of daily life and historical texture.
Currently (2027), the above scenic areas are all open normally, but due to seasonal climate and road maintenance, some sections such as the Duku Highway usually open from early June to the end of September. The specific traffic conditions are subject to actual road conditions before departure. The itinerary has comprehensively considered the best viewing periods and transportation feasibility. In case of force majeure factors, both parties may negotiate reasonable changes to the visiting order.

✨ Why choose train travel in Xinjiang?
Unlike regular bus tours that require early rising and rushing every day, the New Oriental Express offers a comfortable rhythm of “sightseeing by day, returning to rest at night.” The interior of the carriages is built to high-end hotel standards, with bedding, storage, temperature control, and washing facilities all available. The scenery outside the window constantly changes with geographical latitude—in the morning it may be the morning mist of the Altay Mountains, and by night it is already the starry sky of the Tarim Basin. This “moving home” model is especially suitable for travelers who value experience and rest quality.
In 2027, this route connecting northern and southern Xinjiang continues to optimize service details, allowing more people to comfortably appreciate the vastness and diversity of Xinjiang while ensuring safety and comfort. Whether it is the natural wonders of snow-capped mountains and lakes or the life scenes of oasis ancient cities, they will unfold gradually over the 14-day journey.
> Warm Tips:Xinjiang is vast with large temperature differences between day and night. It is recommended to bring windproof jackets and comfortable hiking shoes; at the same time, respect local ethnic customs and travel civilly. For specific itinerary arrangements, cabin information, and prices, please refer to actual consultation and signed content.
