🚂 Detailed itinerary of Xinjiang’s high-end tourist train “New Oriental Express” in 2027:A mobile luxury travel experience across north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
For travelers seeking both depth and comfort, Xinjiang’s vastness and diversity have always been attractive. As one of the few high-end tourist trains in China, the “New Oriental Express,” with its full-journey mobile hotel, butler-style service, and classic routes covering northern to southern Xinjiang, has become an important choice for many international tourists exploring western China. In 2027, this route will continue to optimize service details and is especially attracting attention from tourists in Singapore and other Southeast Asian regions—not only because of the pleasant climate (average temperature 18–28°C from June to September), but also because it condenses snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, deserts, and cultural landscapes into a 14-day itinerary, with no need for frequent transfers or accommodation changes, truly achieving “the train moves with the scenery, and the scenery moves with the train.”
🌄 Route highlights and destination introduction
The “New Oriental Express” is not an ordinary train, but a customized and refitted luxury tourist train equipped with en-suite compartments with bathrooms, observation cars, dining cars, and a medical room. The entire route spans the eastern and western ends of Xinjiang, starting from the capital Urumqi, passing through Kanas and Hemu in the Altay region, following the Ili River Valley to Nalati and Bayanbulak, then crossing the southern section of the Duku Highway, and finally arriving at Kashgar and Turpan, forming a complete loop.
Currently in operation, the train passes through multiple high-quality nature reserves and areas on the World Cultural Heritage tentative list, such as Tianshan Tianchi (part of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage “Xinjiang Tianshan”), Sayram Lake (known as “the last tear of the Atlantic”), and the Jiaohe Ancient City (one of the best-preserved earthen architecture cities in the world). All attractions are arranged according to the newly opened policies for 2027. The specific visiting order may be reasonably changed with tourists’ consent due to factors such as weather, traffic, or temporary service guidance at scenic areas.
It is worth mentioning that the itinerary specially includes two classic sections cherished by self-driving enthusiasts—the “Ahe Highway” (Altay to Hemu) and the “southern section of the Duku Highway.” Tourists can enjoy the magnificent transitions of continuous snow peaks, alpine meadows, and canyon landforms from the observation car or stopover points, experiencing the unique geographical wonder of seeing four seasons in one day.
