🚂 2027 Urumqi Luxury Special Train “New Oriental Express · Xuelian (Snow Lotus) No.”:A mobile living experience traveling slowly across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
On the vast land of Xinjiang, there is a way of traveling that avoids the hassle of frequently changing hotels and the need to pack luggage and rush around every day—that is, taking the New Oriental Express Xuelian (Snow Lotus) No., hailed as a “land cruise ship.” This train is not an ordinary means of transport, but a mobile living space equipped with bathrooms, custom furnishings, and a dedicated service team. By day, you immerse yourself in scenic areas; by night, you sleep peacefully in the quiet carriage as the train moves on—truly achieving the relaxed rhythm of “the train follows the traveler, and the scenery moves with the train.”
🌄 Route and Destination Introduction
The “New Oriental Express · Xuelian (Snow Lotus) No.” running in summer 2027 focuses on a full loop route across northern and southern Xinjiang, connecting the snowy mountains and lakes of northern Xinjiang, the cultural plateaus of southern Xinjiang, and the canyon landscapes of the Tianshan hinterland. The itinerary covers Keketuohai, Hemu, and Kanas in the Altay region, Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley, then crosses the Duku Highway through Bayanbulak and the Kuqa Grand Canyon, finally arriving at Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau area, forming a classic route spanning Xinjiang’s core scenic belt.
Along the way, you can enjoy a variety of natural and cultural landscapes: the granite canyons of Keketuohai, the wooden house clusters in Hemu Village shrouded in morning mist, the azure waters of Kanas Lake, the clarity of Sayram Lake—known as “the last tear of the Atlantic”—the vast grasslands of Nalati and Bayanbulak, and the magnificent silhouette of Muztagh Ata on the Pamir Plateau. The itinerary also includes special arrangements such as crossing the Ahe Highway and an in-depth experience of the Duku Highway, balancing natural wonders with cultural exploration.
Please note that Xinjiang is vast, with long distances between attractions, and some sections of road (such as the Duku Highway) are significantly affected by season and weather conditions. The actual itinerary may be reasonably adjusted based on the year’s weather, traffic conditions, and scenic area opening policies, subject to mutual agreement between both parties.
