🚂 A mobile palace crossing the mountains and rivers of the Western Regions:A panoramic analysis of the 2027 itinerary of the New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus”
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, the railway is not recommended merely to connect cities and oases; it has also become an immersive way of traveling. As a representative of domestic high-end tourist trains, the “New Oriental Express · Snow Lotus” provides travelers with a calm and elegant Western Regions exploration experience through full-train chartering, en-suite bathrooms, butler service, and deep loop route design. Unlike the tight pace of conventional group tours, this journey lasts 14 days, starting from Urumqi, running through Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, the Ili River Valley, and the Pamir Plateau in Southern Xinjiang, and finally returning to the starting point, forming a complete loop covering snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and ancient cities.
Currently (2027), this route is organized and operated by Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, using a fixed departure schedule and fixed-capacity private compartment model, striving to ensure that every traveler enjoys private space and stable service. The train carriages are divided by room type into two categories: “Precious Gold Diamond” and “Xiyue Gold Diamond,” both equipped with en-suite bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, viewing windows, and 24-hour hot water. The dining car provides customized menus integrating local flavors and Chinese classics, and there are onboard medical staff and dedicated butlers providing full-journey support.
📍 Route highlights and destination details
This 14-day loop cleverly connects Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes:
Tianshan Tianchi:Located at the northern foot of Bogda Peak, the lake water is blue as a mirror and surrounded by snow peaks. It is one of the highest-altitude alpine lakes in the Tianshan Mountains.
Kanas and Hemu:Known as a “private garden,” in autumn the forests are dyed in layers, morning mist surrounds the wooden houses, and it is an ideal place for photography and slow living.

Forests, pastures, and rivers interweave along the way, and the scenery is pristine and tranquil.
Sayram Lake:The last place favored by the warm and humid Atlantic airflow. The lake surface is deep blue, wildflowers cover the fields in summer, and the ice bubble wonder is stunning in winter.
Nalati and Bayanbulak:The former is the sky grassland by the Kunges River, while the latter is famous for the sunset over the winding Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns, with swans inhabiting the area.
Southern section of the Duku Highway:One of China’s most beautiful highways, experiencing four seasons in one day and crossing north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Red mountain stone forests and canyon landforms can be seen along the way.
Kashgar Old City and Gaotai Residences:A millennium-old Silk Road important town with crisscrossing streets and alleys and mottled earthen walls, retaining a rich atmosphere of daily life and architectural texture.
Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake:Located on the Pamir Plateau with Muztagh Ata behind them, the lake colors change with the light and are as pure as a painting.
