🚂 2027 New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” Train:A flowing luxury travel experience crossing the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
On the vast land of Xinjiang, a way of travel is quietly becoming a new choice for high-end tourists—riding a tourist train fully equipped with private bathrooms, slowly moving forward along the lakes and grasslands of northern Xinjiang and the canyons and ancient cities of southern Xinjiang. This train, called the “Snow Lotus”, is not an ordinary train, but a mobile hotel specially designed for in-depth roaming in Xinjiang, highly integrating transportation, accommodation, dining, and itinerary services, making the journey itself part of the scenery.
🌄 Panorama of the route and destinations:From Tianchi of the Tianshan Mountains to the Pamir Plateau
This 14-day loop spans east and west Xinjiang, covering the natural wonders of northern Xinjiang and the cultural landscapes of southern Xinjiang. The itinerary starts from Urumqi, goes north deep into the heart of the Altai Mountains, and visits Kanas Lake and Hemu Village, known as the “back garden”; then goes south along the Ahe Highway, passes through the Ili River Valley, crosses the Nalati Grassland and Bayanbulak Wetland; then enters southern Xinjiang via the southern section of the Duku Highway, arrives at the thousand-year-old city of Kashgar, and overlooks White Sand Lake and Karakul Lake beneath Muztagh Ata; finally returns to Urumqi via Turpan, forming a complete loop.
Along the route, it covers multiple high-quality nature reserves, World Natural Heritage candidate sites, and historical and cultural cities. The blue water of Tianchi of the Tianshan Mountains, the sunset of Wucaitan, the deep blue of Sayram Lake, the green carpet of Nalati, the grandeur of the nine bends and eighteen curves of Bayanbulak, the street texture of Kashgar Old City… each stop has unique geographical and cultural identity. During the train’s operation, all stops are close to scenic area entrances or city centers, reducing transfer and shuttle time and improving comfort.
Please note that due to seasonal climate, road access conditions, and scenic area management policies, the actual visiting order or length of stay may be reasonably adjusted after mutual agreement between both parties to ensure the overall itinerary and experience run smoothly.
