🌄 Route overview:A mobile “five-star viewing platform”
In 2026, the New Oriental Express will operate dual lines with the new “Snow Lotus” train set and the classic old train set, launching an in-depth Xinjiang tourist special train. This tourist train, known as a “mobile five-star hotel,” adopts a fully enclosed carriage design and is equipped with bathrooms, large viewing windows, a KTV entertainment room, and a dining bar. It travels through core landscape belts of Northern Xinjiang such as the Tianshan Mountains, Kanas Lake, and Sayram Lake, covering the four major geographic units of Urumqi, Altay, Ili, and Kashgar. The 14-day itinerary connects more than 20 5A/4A scenic areas, suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists, photography enthusiasts, and families with children who pursue quality and depth.
📸 Route highlights:A double feast of landscapes and culture
🌲 Full coverage of natural landscapes
From the snow-capped mountain reflections of Tianshan Tianchi to the “lake monster legend” of Kanas Lake; from Sayram Lake, “the last tear of the Atlantic,” to the “sunset over the winding Nine Bends” of Bayanbulak Grassland, the special train itinerary avoids the superficial rush of conventional tour groups and arranges ample停留 time in core scenic areas (such as 1 night in Kanas Scenic Area and 1 night in Hemu Village), allowing tourists to deeply experience the changing seasons of Northern Xinjiang.
🏛 ️ Immersive cultural experience
The itinerary intersperses projects such as visits to households of various ethnic groups, intangible cultural heritage handmade experiences in Kashgar Old City, and folk interactions with people of various ethnic groups in Tashkurgan. Tourists can personally make flower hats of various ethnic groups, taste hand-grabbed rice of various ethnic groups, listen to the morning prayer bells, and feel the diverse charm of Western Regions culture.
🚂 Special train service upgrade
The 2026 new train set “Snow Lotus” adopts shock absorption and noise reduction technology, with a constant temperature of 26°C in the carriages, 24-hour hot water, and butler service; the old train set attracts tourists with high cost-effectiveness. The Gold Diamond carriage is designed with large-bed rooms, and the Blue Diamond carriage offers 2/4-person room choices, meeting different budget needs.

📌 Travel tips:Details that make the journey more worry-free
👗 Clothing guide
Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, so even in summer a windbreaker is needed; Kanas, Hemu, and other places are at higher altitudes, so thermal underwear is recommended; the Pamir Plateau (Tashkurgan section) has strong ultraviolet rays, so sunglasses, sunscreen, and a sun hat are needed.

🌲 Full coverage of natural landscapes🍴 Food recommendations
The special train dining bar provides meals; it is recommended to try “over-oiled meat mixed noodles,” “baked buns,” and “hand-grabbed rice”; the “Century-old Teahouse” in Kashgar Old City offers medicinal tea of various ethnic groups, and the “yak meat hot pot” during household visits to people of various ethnic groups in Tashkurgan is not to be missed.
