It covers almost all of Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes.
Tianshan Tianchi:An alpine lake like jade set among snow-capped mountains, its surface reflecting Bogda Peak, serene and sacred.
Kanas and Hemu:Known as “the last self-retained land,” in autumn the forests are dyed in layers of color and morning mist surrounds the wooden houses, making it a favorite of photography enthusiasts; in summer it is lush and green with babbling streams.
Ahe Highway:A secret road connecting Altay and Hemu, with grasslands, forests, and river valleys alternating along the way. Few tourists venture here, and the scenery is pristine and pure.

🚂 2027 New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” departure date selection guide: high-end travel ticket price details sharedSayram Lake:The last tear of the Atlantic, the lake water is azure like a mirror, and from around the lake you can gaze at the Guozigou Bridge and snow-capped mountains.
Nalati and Bayanbulak:The former is the “grassland in the sky,” while the latter is famous for the sunset over its winding Nine Bends and Eighteen Curves; both are ecological treasures of the Ili River Valley.
Southern section of the Duku Highway:One of China’s most beautiful highways, experiencing four seasons in a day, from snow-capped mountains and canyons straight to red Yardang landforms.
Kashgar Old City and Gaotai Residences:The texture of a thousand-year-old city still remains, with crisscrossing streets and alleys, rows of handicraft shops, and a strong sense of daily life.
Tashkurgan and Karakul Lake:Close to the Pamir Plateau, from the lakeside you can gaze at Muztagh Ata, vast and desolate.
Currently (2027), all scenic areas are open normally, but due to uncontrollable factors such as weather and road maintenance, the actual visiting order or停留 time may be reasonably changed by the tour leader and guide according to on-site conditions, under the premise of ensuring safety.

🌟 Why choose train roaming?
The New Oriental Express is not recommended as a means of transportation, but rather as a travel philosophy—slow down and let the scenery flow outside the window rather than rushing along the road. The train has an observation carriage, dining car, and rest area. During the day you can sip tea by the window and watch snow-capped mountains glide by, and at night you fall asleep to the gentle sound of the rails. This “mobile manor” style experience is especially suitable for travelers pursuing comfort and depth.
2027 departure dates are gradually opening. If you plan to start a journey where you don’t need to worry about trivial matters and can fully enjoy the essence of Xinjiang, you may pay attention to the above departure dates, plan ahead, and wait quietly for departure.
