Exploring the Western Regions:Embark on the New Oriental Express for an In-depth Cultural Journey through Xinjiang 🚂
Detailed Introduction to Routes or Destinations
Xinjiang, covering one-sixth of China’s land area, is both a core hub of the ancient Silk Road and a cultural melting pot of multiple ethnic groups. 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, is designed with the concept of a ‘mobile star-rated hotel.’ The entire train features panoramic windows, private bathrooms, 24-hour hot water, and central air conditioning. Some carriages also include bars, KTV, and observation lounges, allowing passengers to enjoy a comfortable journey while immersing themselves in the Silk Road atmosphere as they traverse the Gobi Desert, grasslands, and snow-capped mountains.
The train routes cover over 90% of Xinjiang’s 5A-level scenic spots, starting from Urumqi and connecting natural wonders like Kanas, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, as well as cultural landmarks such as Kashgar Old City and Jiaohe Ruins. In 2026, the train has added new routes like the ‘Southern Xinjiang Autumn Scenery Line’ and the ‘Summer Escape Loop’ to meet travel needs across different seasons. According to recent data from the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism, the number of tourists visiting Xinjiang in the first half of 2026 increased by 23% year-on-year, with train tourism accounting for 15% of the total, making it a recommended option for high-end travelers.
