New Oriental Express Xuelian Route Introduction
The New Oriental Express is a signature luxury tourist train product of Xinjiang. The Xuelian, as the new-generation carriage, focuses on a comfortable and leisurely travel experience, connecting the core scenic belts of northern and southern Xinjiang throughout the journey. Starting from Urumqi, it covers iconic natural landscapes in northern Xinjiang such as Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, and extends southward to cultural and natural highlights in southern Xinjiang including the Kuqa Grand Canyon, the Pamir Plateau, and the ancient city of Kashgar. Throughout the trip, there is no need to frequently change hotels or carry luggage, and the pace of stopping and going as you please suits family trips, friends traveling together, and comfortable travel for middle-aged and senior travelers alike.
Based on the latest information released by the Xinjiang cultural tourism authorities in 2026, all scenic areas covered by the itinerary are currently operating normally. In summer, the grasslands, flower seas, and lakes of northern Xinjiang are at their best viewing period, while the ancient cities and plateau landscapes of southern Xinjiang can be visited year-round. From September to October, the poplar forests along the route enter their golden period, offering an outstanding viewing experience. The train itinerary avoids the pain point of rushing between destinations that comes with self-driving, and all reservation procedures for popular scenic areas are completed in advance by staff, so there is no need to wait online to grab tickets — travel is more worry-free.
