🚂 【2027 New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” Luxury Special Train｜A New Slow Travel Experience Across Northern and Southern Xinjiang】
As the train slowly passes the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the window reveals endless snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands; when night falls, the carriage is bathed in soft warm light with the fragrance of tea lingering in the air—this is no ordinary train, but the New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” luxury tourist special train, built on the concept of a “mobile hotel.” As a representative product of Xinjiang’s high-end railway tourism in recent years, it integrates transportation, accommodation, dining, and guided tours, allowing visitors to deeply appreciate the vast beauty of Xinjiang at a comfortable pace.
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
The New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” is not a sightseeing train in the traditional sense, but a special tourist train that combines accommodation, dining, guided tours, and transportation with designated itinerary items. The train features customized carriage configurations, equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, panoramic windows, and butler service, with experienced local guides accompanying passengers throughout the journey.
The route covers two core areas: the natural scenery of Northern Xinjiang and the cultural landscapes of Southern Xinjiang:
Northern Xinjiang Section:Keketuohai’s granite canyons, Hemu Village’s misty wooden houses at dawn, Kanas Lake’s clear waters and forests, the sunset yadan landforms of Colorful Beach, Sayram Lake’s azure surface, Nalati Grassland’s alpine pastures, Bayanbulak’s Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns… rich in landforms, beautiful in all seasons.
Southern Xinjiang Section (October itinerary): Turpan’s Jiaohe Ancient City and Karez irrigation system, Ruoqiang’s Loulan cultural traces, Hotan’s jade culture and oasis customs, Kashgar Old City’s bustling streets and alleys, Kuqa’s Qiuci cultural heritage, Luntai’s golden poplar forests in autumn, showcasing the historical depth of the Silk Road.
It is worth noting that the Duku Highway (open from early June to early October), as an important passage connecting Northern and Southern Xinjiang, is cleverly incorporated into the summer itinerary, offering a geographical crossing experience of “experiencing four seasons in one day.” All scenic spot visits are carried out in accordance with the actual opening policies of scenic areas in 2026. For example, Kanas and Hemu require real-name reservation for entry, and Sayram Lake requires booking 1–3 days in advance through the “One Phone to Tour Xinjiang” platform, striving for compliant entry.
