🚂 Explore the vast territory and experience flowing luxury—the 2027 “New Oriental” high-end tourist special train in-depth loop journey
On the vast land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, and ancient cities weave together into a magnificent picture. In recent years, high-end slow travel by rail has gradually emerged, among which the “New Oriental” tourist special train, with its unique carriage configuration and 14-day loop design covering the core landscapes of both northern and southern Xinjiang, has become a focus of attention for travelers seeking comfort and in-depth experiences. Based on currently available public information and itinerary arrangements, this article presents a detailed picture of this route.
🌄 Route highlights:Crossing the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, taking in diverse landforms in one journey
The “New Oriental” special train route spans northern and southern Xinjiang. Departing from Urumqi, it passes through Kanas and Hemu in the Altay region, heads south along the Duku Highway to Bayanbulak, then goes deep into Taxkorgan County in the heart of the Pamir Plateau, finally arriving in Kashgar, and returns to the starting point via Turpan. The entire journey covers alpine lakes (Sayram Lake, Tianshan Tianchi), grassland pastures (Nalati, Kanas), Danxia landforms (Wucaitan), desert oases (Kashgar Old City), and historical sites (Jiaohe Ancient City, Gaotai Residences), with a large geographical span and rich variety of landscapes.
The train uses a fixed formation and is equipped with en-suite compartments with bathrooms, providing accommodation support while on the move and reducing the hassle of frequently changing hotels. It is especially suitable for medium- and long-distance travelers who want to balance comfort and complete sightseeing. In the current season (late spring to early summer 2027), the grasslands of northern Xinjiang are turning green and wildflowers are beginning to bloom, while the climate in southern Xinjiang is dry and pleasant, making it one of the suitable travel windows of the year.
Please note that Xinjiang is vast, and some sections such as the Duku Highway are greatly affected by weather, so passage conditions depend on the actual opening times of the year; scenic areas involved in the itinerary, such as Baisha Lake and Karakul Lake, may have visiting arrangements changed due to ecological protection or temporary service guidance. The travel agency will reasonably optimize the itinerary before departure based on actual conditions and with the mutual agreement of both parties.
