🚂 2026 New Oriental Express Northern and Southern Xinjiang Full Scenic Loop Tour – Travel comfortably without the hassle of rushing around
Many tourists planning to visit Xinjiang have encountered similar troubles:The vast geographical span between northern and southern Xinjiang means that visiting all the core attractions in one trip often requires multiple transfers, frequent packing and unpacking, and changing hotels, while long-distance overland travel also drains a lot of energy. The upgraded 2026 New Oriental Express Northern and Southern Xinjiang Full Scenic Loop product is perfectly suited to this kind of in-depth travel demand, allowing tourists to enjoy Xinjiang’s diverse natural and cultural scenery at a relatively comfortable pace.
According to currently available operational information, the Xinjiang railway department plans to operate 35 New Oriental Express trains in 2026, running regularly from April to October with an average of 3 departures per month. Both of this year’s New Oriental Express trains have undergone comprehensive optimization – all cabins now come with private bathrooms, and new family connecting rooms suitable for group travel have been added. The train also features a dome starry-sky themed dining car, a kitchen-lounge car, and a multi-functional bar car, making the entire train feel like a mobile leisure resort. The train operates on a model of traveling at night and sightseeing during the day, so tourists don’t need to pack and change accommodation every day – they wake up at the next destination, saving a huge amount of time on inter-city transfers. Currently, two signature routes are offered, covering more than 20 famous scenic spots across Xinjiang, catering to different seasonal scenery needs: the summer route combines northern Xinjiang’s forests, grasslands, and lakes with southern Xinjiang’s plateaus and ancient city cultural landscapes, while the October southern Xinjiang route focuses on autumn scenery and historical cultural sites.
