🚞 After the Xuelianshan Tunnel opens to traffic in 2026, the Xuelian special train launches a new experience of traveling freely across Northern and Southern Xinjiang
In July this year, the Xuelianshan Tunnel in Urumqi officially opened to traffic. The drive that originally took more than 7 hours to cross the Tianshan Mountains has been directly reduced to 3 hours, and the north-south crossing of the Tianshan Mountains can be completed in 20 minutes. This tunnel, called the “golden artery” of Xinjiang tourism by many tourists, directly breaks down the barriers to connecting attractions in Northern and Southern Xinjiang. The Northern and Southern Xinjiang itineraries that originally needed to be split into two trips can now be completed in one go with the New Oriental Express Xuelian special train. There is no need to rush repeatedly on the road, and you can also avoid the congested crowds on the Duku Highway during peak season, greatly improving the travel experience.
After the tunnel opens to traffic, the connection of attractions in Northern and Southern Xinjiang will be smoother. Previously, because of inconvenient transportation, many tourists struggled over whether to give up attractions such as the Kuqa Grand Canyon and Bosten Lake in Southern Xinjiang when planning their itineraries. Now the loop itinerary is directly shortened by about 2 days, with no need to backtrack, and the Northern and Southern Xinjiang loop can be traveled in spring, summer, and autumn. It can also operate normally in winter, so there is no need to worry about mountain roads being closed. As a new train body in the New Oriental Express series, the Xuelian special train has complete facilities, with bathrooms in every compartment, and runs smoothly. You travel at night while resting, and get off to sightsee during the day, without having to pack luggage and change hotels every day. It is suitable for families traveling with elderly people and children, and also for tourists who do not want to waste time on the road.
