🌄 【Route Highlights:Why Choose the New Oriental Express?】
In 2026, the New Oriental Express, with its unique design of ‘panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows + five-star soft sleeper + land cruise,’ has become the benchmark for high-end tourism trains in Xinjiang. The train traverses the Tianshan Mountains, connecting core attractions such as Urumqi, Altay, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Duku Highway, and the Pamir Plateau, with no need to change transportation throughout the journey, truly offering an immersive experience of ‘seeing sights by day, traveling by night.’
📌 Core Advantages:
✅ Privacy:Each carriage is recommended to have 3-5 compartments, each equipped with a bathroom, observation window, humidifier, and 24-hour butler service.
✅ Flexibility:The itinerary can be dynamically adjusted based on weather and road conditions. For example, if the Duku Highway is temporarily closed, it can be replaced by the Yizhao Highway or S101 National Defense Highway.
✅ Depth:Avoiding conventional group routes, it adds niche experiences like the Ahe Highway, Tajik home visits, and the Loulan Museum, with per-person stay time 40% longer than regular tours.
✅ Safety:The train is equipped with a medical room and oxygen equipment, with a doctor accompanying the entire journey, suitable for middle-aged, elderly, and family tourists.
👩💼 Route Designer Says:
“Manager Wang Fei of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, a native of Xinjiang, has been deeply involved in the Xinjiang tourism industry for over a decade, having traveled to every scenic spot across the Tianshan Mountains. The route she designed retains classic IPs like Kanas and Sayram Lake while incorporating local hidden gems such as the Ahe Highway self-drive and Tajik home visits. Wang Fei adheres to a no-shopping policy throughout the itinerary, rejecting hidden costs, and uses her expertise to create a comfortable journey tailored to tourists’ preferences.”
