🌄 Route overview:A moving visual feast
In 2026, Xinjiang tourism continues to heat up, and the “New Oriental Express,” as a representative of domestic high-end tourist special trains, has become a popular choice for in-depth tours of Xinjiang thanks to its unique experience of “a view from every window, traveling day and night.” This special train starts from Urumqi and connects core landscapes such as Kanas in northern Xinjiang, the Ili grasslands, and Kashgar in southern Xinjiang. The 14-day itinerary covers diverse terrain including snow-capped mountains, lakes, canyons, and ancient cities, making it truly a “mobile exhibition hall of Xinjiang’s panoramic scroll.”
The special train is divided into two train types: the “new train body Snow Lotus” and the “old train body.” The former creates a high-end experience with configurations including en-suite bathrooms in designated cars within the itinerary, large viewing windows, and 24-hour hot water supply; the latter attracts tourists with classic Blue Diamond carriages and high cost-effectiveness. Whichever train type is chosen, professional guides, onboard doctors, and specialty catering services are provided, truly achieving seamless connection of “sightseeing by day, traveling by night.”
