Xinjiang is vast with scattered attractions. Traditional travel methods often require frequent transfers, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

🌄 【Core Landscapes and Cultural Features】🌄
The New Oriental Express special train covers two core areas of Xinjiang—Altay, Kanas, and Sayram Lake in northern Xinjiang, as well as Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, and Tarim Poplar Forest in southern Xinjiang. Along the way, you can experience:
✅ Northern Xinjiang:
Kanas Lake:Known as the ‘back garden,’ it is lush green in summer and colorful in autumn, a paradise for photography enthusiasts.
Sayram Lake:The last tear of the Atlantic Ocean, with sapphire-blue waters. Cycling or driving around the lake offers an excellent experience.
Duku Highway:A ‘hero’s road’ open for only 4 months a year, with intertwined snow-capped mountains, canyons, and grasslands along the way, a classic dream for self-driving enthusiasts.
✅ Southern Xinjiang:
Kashgar Old City:A thousand-year-old ancient city with earthy yellow buildings and bustling bazaars, offering a rich experience of diverse ethnic cultures.
Pamir Plateau:Visit白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) and Muztagh Ata Peak, explore ethnic villages, and experience the purity and grandeur of the plateau.
