🚂 2027 New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus”：A mobile luxury travel experience through the heart of Xinjiang
If you have ever imagined holding a cup of hot tea while the train slowly travels between snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and lakes, with a flowing landscape painting outside the window—then the New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” may be exactly the travel style you have been longing for. This high-end tourist train is not an ordinary train, but a series of “mobile hotels” equipped with bathrooms, comfortable beds, and exclusive services. Following the classic loop from northern to southern Xinjiang, it connects landmark destinations such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Bayanbulak, and Kashgar. The entire journey lasts 14 days with a relaxed pace, suitable for travelers seeking depth and comfort.
🌄 Route highlights：Not just sightseeing, but immersive roaming
The route of the New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” spans multiple geographical units in Xinjiang: from Tianshan Tianchi at the edge of the Junggar Basin to Kanas and Hemu deep in the Altai Mountains; from Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley, over the southern section of the Duku Highway, and finally to Kashgar at the eastern foot of the Pamir Plateau. Along the way, it covers various landforms such as alpine lakes, forest pastures, gobi canyons, and oasis ancient cities.
The train itself features customized carriage design. Compartments are equipped with upper and lower berths or double beds (depending on cabin type), bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, storage space, and a call service system. The daily itinerary is well-paced: visitors disembark during the day to tour core attractions and return to the train in the evening to rest, avoiding the fatigue of frequently changing hotels. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists, family trips, or those who prefer a slow-paced, in-depth experience.
Please note that Xinjiang is vast, and some sections may be affected by weather, traffic control, or scenic area policies. The actual visiting order or stay duration may be reasonably adjusted by the tour leader and guide after consultation according to actual conditions, in order to ensure the overall itinerary and experience.
