Exploring the Silk Road Charm:Embark on a 2026 In-depth Xinjiang Tour Aboard the New Oriental Express
🌄 Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
Xinjiang, a vast region covering one-sixth of China’s land area, has been the core hub of the Silk Road since ancient times. By 2026, with continuous upgrades to tourism infrastructure, Xinjiang has developed a differentiated tourism pattern of ‘Northern Xinjiang for nature, Southern Xinjiang for culture.’ The New Oriental Express, as a representative of high-end tourist trains, features fully enclosed carriages equipped with bathrooms, large viewing windows, and constant-temperature air conditioning. Each carriage is recommended to accommodate 8-10 suites, ensuring passengers enjoy a private and comfortable mobile viewing experience during the 15-day itinerary.
The train route spans the Tianshan Mountains, covering core scenic spots such as Urumqi, Altay, Kanas, Yili, and Kashgar. According to the latest 2026 data, Xinjiang has established 12 national 5A-level scenic spots, where natural landscapes like Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland complement cultural sites like the Jiaohe Ruins and the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves. Notably, the full renovation of the Duku Highway, completed at the end of 2025, has extended the travel season for this ‘most beautiful highway in China’ from June-September to May-October, offering passengers a more generous viewing period.
