✨ 【New Oriental Express:A moving high-end palace, unlocking the 2027 Xinjiang Silk Road in-depth tour】✨
The vastness and mystery of Xinjiang always make travelers yearn for it. If you want to measure this land in a more private and comfortable way, the New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” special train is undoubtedly the ideal choice. This moving hotel, full of history and modern design, centers on 2-person en-suite compartments, linking the grasslands and lakes of northern Xinjiang with the cultural hidden gems of southern Xinjiang, opening a Silk Road journey through time and space.
🌄 【Route highlights:From snow mountains to deserts, immerse yourself in the diverse beauty of Xinjiang】
The New Oriental Express “Snow Lotus” special train starts from Urumqi and travels through north and south of the Tianshan Mountains over 14 days, covering core Xinjiang landscapes such as Koktokay, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, the Duku Highway, and the Pamir Plateau. The itinerary balances nature and culture:Drive through primeval forests on the Ahe Highway and experience Tuvan wooden cabin life in Hemu Village; wait for morning mist by the shores of Kanas Lake and cycle around Sayram Lake; cross the Duku Highway and feel “four seasons in one day”; go deep into Tashkurgan County to visit families of all ethnic groups. The special train runs at night and stops at highlight attractions during the day, saving time and avoiding the fatigue of long-distance driving.
The train itself is a major highlight. The entire train uses 2-person en-suite compartment design, equipped with large viewing windows, desks, wardrobes, and thermostatic air conditioning. Dry-wet separated bathroom facilities are extremely rare on special trains. Public areas include a dining car, bar car, and observation car, where passengers can taste Xinjiang specialty foods (such as roast whole lamb, hand-grabbed rice, and big plate chicken) while enjoying the flowing scenery outside the window. The train also provides 24-hour butler service, from luggage handling to attraction commentary, for a comfortable journey.

In a fast-paced era, the New Oriental Express redefines Xinjiang travel with the concept of “slow travel.” It is not recommended as a means of transportation, but rather a moving cultural museum—from intangible cultural heritage decorations in the compartments to ethnic music performances in the dining car, from the train attendants’ detailed explanations to the folk experiences along the way, every detail conveys the charm of Xinjiang. For travelers pursuing quality and depth, this special train is undoubtedly the preferred plan for exploring Xinjiang in 2027.
