🚂 A slow journey crossing north and south of the Tianshan Mountains:2027 New Oriental Express Snow Lotus Xinjiang High-End Train Experience
In this fast-paced era, a way of traveling is quietly returning—not rushing from one checkpoint to another, but making the train your home, stopping as you go, and immersing yourself in vast mountains and rivers while on the move. In 2027, the New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” continues to operate the Xinjiang high-end tourist train, linking the lakes and mountains of northern Xinjiang with the culture and everyday life of southern Xinjiang into a 14-day in-depth loop. This journey does not pursue speed but focuses on quality: the entire train is equipped with en-suite compartments, a professional service team, authentic catering, and fixed departure dates to ensure travel certainty.
🌄 Destination panorama:A four-season scroll from Tianchi to the Pamir Plateau
This route spans eastern and western Xinjiang, runs through north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and covers alpine lakes, grasslands and river valleys, desert oases, and historic ancient cities. The itinerary starts from Urumqi, with the first stop visiting “Jade Lake” Tianshan Tianchi, where blue water reflects snow peaks, like a picturesque scene; then it goes deep into the Altay region, where the yardang landform of Wucaitan glows colorfully in the sunset, and the morning mist of Kanas Lake and the wooden houses of Hemu Village form a classic picture of northern Xinjiang’s autumn scenery (even in summer it is full of greenery).
Entering the Ili River Valley, Sayram Lake is known as “the last tear of the Atlantic,” with lake water as blue as a mirror, while Liuxing Street retains the style of century-old Russian architecture. Nalati Grassland and the winding Bayanbulak Nine Bends and Eighteen Curves display the vast foundation of nomadic culture. The southern Xinjiang section crosses the southern section of the Duku Highway—this heroic road through the Tianshan Mountains connects grasslands and deserts. After arriving in Kashgar, the purity of Baisha Lake, the plateau scenery of Taxkorgan County, and the reflection of Muztagh Ata in Karakul Lake all leave people breathless. Finally, passing through the Turpan Basin, visit the karez, an ancient water conservancy miracle, feel the heat of Flaming Mountains and the thousand-year vicissitudes of the Jiaohe Ancient City, and finally return to Urumqi for departure.
