🚂 A mobile palace across the Western Regions:New Oriental Express 2027 Xinjiang Panorama Journey
As the train slowly passes along the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, outside the window are continuous snow peaks and jade-like lakes; inside the carriage, bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, and exquisite meals are all available—this is not an ordinary trip, but an immersive Western Regions pilgrimage with the railway as its axis and time as its rhythm. In 2027, the “New Oriental Express” sets off again, linking Xinjiang’s most essential natural and cultural landscapes in the form of a high-end special train, from Urumqi to Kashgar, from Sayram Lake to Taxkorgan, with a 14-day itinerary covering northern Xinjiang scenery, the Ili River Valley, the Duku Highway, and the ancient cities of southern Xinjiang. There is no need to change hotels throughout the journey and no rushing for early flights, truly achieving “the train moves with the scenery, and people travel within a painting.”
📍 Route highlights and in-depth destination experiences
This journey spanning eastern and western Xinjiang cleverly blends high mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, the edge of deserts, and thousand-year-old cities. Unlike the hustle of conventional bus tours, the New Oriental Express uses fixed carriage formations, and tourists stay in the same carriage throughout the journey without repeatedly loading and unloading luggage. The train runs at night and sightseeing takes place during the day, greatly improving comfort.
During the itinerary, Tianchi of the Tianshan Mountains is like a piece of jade set among the snowy ridges, with crystal-clear lake water; Wucaitan spreads out colorful Yardang landforms along the Irtysh River; Kanas Lake is mysterious and unpredictable, and when shrouded in morning mist it is like a picturesque scene; the cooking smoke from the wooden houses of Hemu Village and the birch forests form the classic picture of northern Xinjiang’s autumn colors (lush green in summer); along the Ahe Highway through the Altai Mountains, the scenery is richly layered; after reaching Ili, the deep blue water of Sayram Lake and the Guozigou Bridge complement each other; the Nalati Grassland and Bayanbulak display the vast pastoral scenery in the heart of the Tianshan Mountains; via the southern section of the Duku Highway, one can overlook the magnificent Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon; finally, going deep into southern Xinjiang, visit the century-old streets and alleys of Kashgar Old City, the traditional rammed-earth architecture of Gaotai Residences, as well as Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake on the Pamir Plateau, and gaze at the majestic Muztagh Ata from afar.
