🚂 Departing from Urumqi, board the New Oriental Express Snow Lotus—a new 2027 slow-travel experience across the full scenery of Northern Xinjiang
When people talk about traveling in Xinjiang, they often focus on “rushing” and “checking in.” But if you truly want to immerse yourself in the vastness and poetry of the Tianshan region, why not change the pace: make the train your home, with grasslands and lakes as your window views, and spend 14 days setting off from Urumqi, traveling through Altay, Ili, and the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang, finally returning to the starting point. This is not an ordinary group tour, but a moving deep journey—the New Oriental Express Snow Lotus offers exactly this possibility for travelers seeking comfort and ease.
📍 Detailed introduction to the route and destinations
This 14-day itinerary covers the most representative natural and cultural landscapes of Xinjiang. From the Keketuohai Canyon and Hemu Village morning mist in Northern Xinjiang, to the clear waters and forests of Kanas Lake; from the sunset light of the Rainbow Beach to the crystal clarity of Sayram Lake, known as “the last tear of the Atlantic”; then across the rolling green carpet of the Nalati Grassland, through the changing seasons of the middle and southern sections of the Duku Highway, arriving at the magnificent Bayanbulak Grassland with its winding Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns. The train then heads south, deep into the Pamir Plateau, visiting the highland lake of Baisha Lake in Tashkurgan County, gazing at Muztagh Ata from afar, and experiencing the daily hospitality of local ethnic families. On the return journey, the route also passes through the Turpan Basin, where you can experience the oasis civilization at the foot of the Flaming Mountains.
The entire route cleverly combines the special train with land transfers, avoiding the fatigue of long-distance self-driving while retaining the flexibility to go deep into the core scenic areas. All major attractions include shuttle bus access to reduce walking burden, making it suitable for families, senior travelers, and tourists who value quality experiences and want an easy trip. Currently (2027), this route is in regular operation, with summer departures fully open for booking, sufficient scenic area capacity, and stable operation of all service facilities.
