🚂 [2027 New Oriental Express · Snow Lotus] The high-end tourist train is about to depart! Crossing north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, a 14-day panoramic loop journey
As the train slowly passes beneath the Tianshan Mountains, outside the window is a picture of continuous snow peaks interwoven with azure lakes; inside the carriage, bathrooms, soundproof private rooms, and exclusive services are all available—this is not an ordinary train, but the New Oriental Express · Snow Lotus, known as a “moving five-star hotel.” As one of the few high-end tourist trains in China, it has become an ideal way to explore the vast land of Xinjiang with its comfort, privacy, and in-depth itinerary design. The 2027 presale departures are now open, offering travelers who pursue quality and ease a truly meaningful slow travel experience.
📍 Route highlights:Running through northern and southern Xinjiang, covering classics and hidden gems
This 14-day loop starts from Urumqi and heads north deep into the Altai Mountains to visit Kanas Lake and the ancient village of Hemu in its autumn fairy tale (lush green in summer); then it goes south along the Ahe Highway, passing through the Ili River Valley, Nalati Grassland, and Bayanbulak Wetland, then crosses the magnificent southern section of the Duku Highway straight to Baisha Lake and Taxkorgan on the Pamir Plateau; finally it returns to the heart of southern Xinjiang to visit Kashgar Old Town, Gaotai Residences, and Turpan cultural relics, and finally returns to Urumqi. The entire journey covers snow mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, desert edges, and cultural settlements, with a large geographical span and rich layers of scenery, while avoiding backtracking and forming a complete loop.
It is worth mentioning that the itinerary includes several scenic highway sections: such as the Ahe Highway (Altay to Hemu section), known as one of “China’s most beautiful rural highways,” the southern section of the Duku Highway crossing the Tianshan Mountains, and the grassland corridor connecting Yining and Nalati. These sections usually take a long time by self-driving and have complex road conditions, while riding the tourist train allows you to safely enjoy the flowing scenery outside the window without worrying about navigation and parking.

🌄 Written at the end:A dialogue about time and scenery
The charm of the New Oriental Express lies not only in taking you to distant places, but also in changing the way you “arrive.” While others are rushing on the road, you are enjoying the scenery; while others are queuing for transfers, you are brewing a cup of hot tea in the carriage and watching the sunset sink into Sayram Lake. Fourteen days is enough to slow down the pace and let memories settle more deeply. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a retired traveler, or a family hoping to give your loved ones a high-quality long-distance travel experience, this route offers a calm and abundant choice.
Warm tips:Xinjiang is vast, with large temperature differences between day and night.
