🚂 [2027 New Oriental Express · Snow Lotus] A mobile luxury journey across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
On the vast land of Xinjiang, there is a way of traveling that avoids the fatigue of self-driving and breaks away from the pace of regular group tours—that is, boarding a high-end tourist train known as a “land cruise ship.” In 2027, the “New Oriental Express · Snow Lotus” offers travelers seeking comfort and in-depth experiences a leisurely possibility for exploration with improved carriage configurations and a smoother North-South Xinjiang loop design. This journey is not just about “seeing the scenery,” but about making the train your home, slowly passing through snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and ancient cities over 14 days, making the journey itself a chapter worth remembering.
📍 Route and destination highlights
This itinerary spans northern and southern Xinjiang, starting from Urumqi and heading west deep into the heart of the Altai Mountains to visit the misty secret realms of Kanas and Hemu; then heading south along the Ahe Highway, crossing the flower seas and pastures of the Ili River Valley; then crossing the Tianshan Mountains and running north-south through the Duku Highway, finally arriving at Kashgar at the foot of the Pamir Plateau, with the return journey passing through the Turpan Basin, forming a classic closed loop covering Xinjiang’s diverse landforms.
Along the way, it covers multiple natural and cultural landmarks: the emerald water reflections of Tianchi in the Tianshan Mountains, the yardang sunset at Wucaitan, the “last tear of the Atlantic” at Sayram Lake, the sky grassland of Nalati, the winding nine bends and eighteen curves of Bayanbulak, the thousand-year-old streets and alleys of Kashgar Old City, the earthen wall textures of Gaotai Residences… Each stop has been considered for seasonal suitability, striving to arrive during the optimal viewing period. Currently (early 2027), route operations are stable, scenic areas are open normally, and transportation connections are smooth. Please note that due to weather or temporary traffic control, some sections (such as the Duku Highway) may have their passage order slightly adjusted according to actual conditions, and the travel agency will negotiate reasonable changes with tourists under the premise of ensuring safety.
