🚂 2027 New Oriental Express · Xinjiang High-End Special Train North and South Xinjiang Panorama 14-Day Journey
— A new slow-travel experience crossing the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and immersing in the Silk Road scroll
🌄 In-depth introduction to the route and destinations
As one of the representatives of domestic high-end tourist trains, the New Oriental Express creates a comfortable, private, and leisurely-paced long-distance journey with the concept of a “moving five-star hotel.” The Xinjiang North and South Xinjiang Panorama route operated in 2027 spans the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, connecting the lakes and grasslands of northern Xinjiang with the desert oases and cultural ancient cities of southern Xinjiang. The entire journey is about 5,000 kilometers and covers Xinjiang’s most representative natural and cultural landscapes.
The itinerary starts from Urumqi and goes north deep into the heart of the Altai Mountains to visit Kanas and Hemu, known as the “back garden”; then it heads south along the Ahe Highway, enters the Ili River Valley to reach the Nalati and Bayanbulak grasslands, and then crosses the magnificent Duku Highway to arrive at Kashgar, an important town in southern Xinjiang. Along the way, it will pass through plateau lakes and border scenery belts such as Sayram Lake, Baisha Lake, and Taxkorgan, and experience the historical texture of the thousand-year Silk Road in places such as Kashgar Old Town and Gaotai Residences.
Currently (early 2027), this route still maintains high-quality service standards: the entire train is equipped with en-suite compartments, professional onboard butlers, customized dining, and medical emergency support. The train stops at stations every evening; tourists enjoy in-depth sightseeing during the day and sleep peacefully in the carriages at night as the train moves forward, truly realizing an immersive experience of “the train follows the people, and the scenery moves with the train.”
Please note that due to seasonal climate and railway scheduling, some sections (such as the Duku Highway) are recommended to be open from June to September. Therefore, this route is concentrated in summer and early autumn departures to ensure itinerary feasibility. If force majeure factors cause temporary changes to transportation or scenic areas, the travel agency will negotiate with tourists and make reasonable optimizations to the itinerary without reducing core attractions.

🌿 Written at the end
This 14-day North and South Xinjiang special train journey is not only a geographical crossing, but also a cultural roam with a leisurely pace. There is no anxiety of rushing; there are only flowing snow mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cities outside the window; there are no standardized check-ins, but rather the cooking smoke of Hemu in the early morning, the sunset glow of Sayram Lake in the evening, and the breath of life in the alleys of Kashgar Old Town.
For long-distance travelers who pursue quality and focus on experience, the New Oriental Express provides a possibility of returning to the essence of travel—slow down, look deeper, stay comfortably, and travel with peace of mind.
