🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Snow Lotus’ New Oriental Express route spans both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, covering alpine lakes, grasslands and wetlands, canyon danxia landforms, desert oases, and historic cities. The itinerary includes the geological wonders of Keketuohai, the forest secrets along the Ahe Highway, the wooden houses with morning mist and cooking smoke in Hemu Village, and Kanas Lake’s seasonal shifts between azure blue and golden hues. Sayram Lake is hailed as ‘the last tear of the Atlantic,’ its surface a mirror of deep blue; Nalati Grassland is lush with abundant water and grass in summer, dotted with herds of cattle and sheep; the sunset over Bayanbulak’s Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns is unforgettable; and Kashgar Old City retains a rich Silk Road character with winding alleys where handicrafts and everyday life intertwine.
After entering the Pamir Plateau, Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake are set against Muztagh Ata, creating magnificent highland lake scenery.
