As the train slowly pulls out of the platform, outside the window are no longer the hurriedly passing city outlines, but continuous snow peaks, azure lakes, and boundless grasslands—this is not an ordinary trip, but an immersive journey with the railway as its veins and the land of Xinjiang as its canvas. In 2027, the New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” continues to operate its classic route spanning from northern to southern Xinjiang, connecting landmark destinations such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati, Bayanbulak, and Kashgar in the form of a high-end special train, making the journey itself part of the scenery.
🌄 Route highlights:14 days traversing the essence of Xinjiang
The uniqueness of this route lies in its clever avoidance of the long-distance travel commonly encountered on regular self-driving or bus tours, instead relying on a dedicated tourist train to achieve a comfortable rhythm of “scenery moving with the train, overnight stays on board, and daytime visits to highlights.” Departing from Urumqi, it heads north deep into the Altay region to explore the Kanas secret realm, then travels south along the Ahe Highway, enters the Tianshan hinterland through the Ili River Valley, and finally arrives at Kashgar at the foot of the Pamir Plateau, forming a complete loop.
The entire journey covers:
Natural wonders:The clarity of Tianshan Tianchi, the vivid colors of Wucaitan, the azure of Sayram Lake, the tranquility of Baisha Lake;
Cultural experiences:The street texture of Kashgar Old City, the traditional courtyards of Gaotai Residences, the daily interactions with families of various ethnic groups in Taxkorgan County;
