On the vast land of Xinjiang, a way of traveling is quietly becoming a favorite among high-end tourists—riding a dedicated luxury tourist train, moving at the pace of a “mobile hotel,” leisurely passing between snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cities. In 2027, the New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” continues its classic loop route, offering multiple departure dates covering summer to early autumn, providing travelers seeking comfort and in-depth experiences with a one-stop luxury journey.
Unlike the tight pace of traditional group tours, the “Snow Lotus” seamlessly integrates accommodation, dining, transportation, and attractions.

🌄 Route Highlights:A panoramic journey traversing north and south Xinjiang at once
This 14-day route spans northern and southern Xinjiang. Departing from Urumqi, it heads north deep into the heart of the Altai Mountains to visit the pristine forests of Kanas and Hemu; then travels south along the Ahe Highway, passing through the Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley and the Bayanbulak Wetlands, crossing the magnificent Duku Highway, and finally arriving at Kashgar at the foot of the Pamir Plateau, before returning to Turpan and Urumqi. The entire journey covers alpine lakes, Gobi oases, grassland pastures, historical sites, and cultural districts. The geographic span is vast and the variety of landscapes is rich—relatively rare among similar domestic products.

🚂 2027 New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” Schedule and Itinerary Overview: A mobile luxury travel experience crossing north and south of the Tianshan MountainsIt is worth mentioning that the train’s daily stop stations are carefully planned, striving for tourists to enter attractions or view scenery during optimal times. For example, Sayram Lake is scheduled for early morning or evening when the light is soft, avoiding peak crowds; Kanas and Hemu have ample time reserved to capture morning mist and starry skies. In addition, the itinerary includes light cultural interactions such as a Tashkurgan home visit and a stroll through Kashgar’s old town, focusing on experiential engagement rather than performance-style displays, in line with current high-quality travel trends.
It should be noted that due to uncontrollable factors such as weather, road conditions, or temporary service guidance at scenic areas, the actual itinerary may be reasonably changed after consultation and agreement between the travel agency and tourists, with safety and experience as the primary principles.
