🚂 A poetic way to explore the mountains and rivers of the Western Regions:New Oriental Express Train Journey
For travelers from Singapore and overseas, Xinjiang is not just a vast land, but a journey that blends natural wonders with cultural heritage. Choosing to go deep into this land by slow rail travel—aboard the “New Oriental” high-end tourist train—is becoming a travel style favored by more and more international tourists. Unlike the tight pace of regular group tours, this itinerary makes a moving high-end carriage your home: by day you disembark to explore hidden wonders, and at night you sleep beneath the stars, making the journey itself part of the scenery.
🌄 In-depth destination experience:From the Tianshan Mountains to the Pamir Plateau
This route spans northern Xinjiang, the Ili River Valley, and the heart of southern Xinjiang, connecting diverse landscapes of snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and the edge of the desert. The journey starts from Urumqi, and the first stop is the Tianshan Tianchi, known as the “Jade Lake,” whose blue waters mirror the snow peaks like a mirror. Then it goes deep into the Altay region to visit Kanas and Hemu—here summer is lush and green, with morning mist winding around wooden cabins, an ideal place for photography and quiet reflection.
Heading south along the Ahe Highway and crossing the edge of the Junggar Basin, you reach Sayram Lake, a high mountain lake known as “the last tear of the Atlantic.” Under continuously optimized ecological protection measures in 2027, its water clarity and viewing experience are further enhanced. Yining’s Liuxing Street retains a rich atmosphere of neighborhood life, while the Nalati and Bayanbulak grasslands showcase the vast pastoral landscapes in the heart of the Tianshan Mountains.
🚂 A poetic way to explore the mountains and rivers of the Western Regions: New Oriental Express Train JourneyThe latter half of the itinerary enters southern Xinjiang, passing through the southern section of the Duku Highway (current opening status is subject to announcements by the transportation authorities) and arriving in Kashgar. In 2027, this millennium-old city continues to advance the protection of its historical and cultural districts; the old town, Gaotai Residences, and the surroundings of the Id Kah Mosque are clean and orderly, and cultural displays place more emphasis on interactive visitor experiences. In the Taxkorgan section, Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake stand against the Kunlun Mountains, their surfaces reflecting Muztagh Ata—magnificent yet serene. The entire journey balances natural scenery and cultural visits with a relaxed pace, suitable for travelers seeking depth and comfort.
