🚂 New Oriental Express Snow Lotus 2027 North and South Xinjiang Special Train:A journey through a moving Western Regions scroll
As the train slowly passes along the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, outside the window are golden wheat fields, azure lakes, and continuous snow-capped mountains—this is not an ordinary train, but the high-end tourist special train “New Oriental Express · Snow Lotus” that integrates accommodation, dining, and guided tours. As one of the few luxury tourist special trains in China, it links the most essential natural and cultural landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang through fixed departure dates, no optional charges throughout the trip, and seamless land-rail connections. For travelers who wish to avoid the fatigue of self-driving while still deeply experiencing beautiful Xinjiang, this 14-day, 13-night journey offers a calm and elegant choice.
📍 Route coverage highlights:From the hidden wonders of northern Xinjiang to the ancient cities of southern Xinjiang
This route spans the Altai Mountains, Junggar Basin, Tianshan Mountains, and the edge of the Tarim Basin, passing through the granite canyon of Koktokay, the birch forest morning mist of Hemu Village, the jade-like autumn colors of Kanas Lake, the “last tear of the Atlantic” at Sayram Lake, the three-dimensional pastures of Nalati Grassland, the sunset over the winding bends of Bayanbulak, the red rock cliffs of Kuqa Grand Canyon, and the reflection of Muztagh Ata on the Pamir Plateau, finally reaching the thousand-year-old city of Kashgar and Turpan at the foot of the Flaming Mountains. The entire route balances geographical diversity and seasonal scenery rhythms, and is especially suitable for September travel—at this time northern Xinjiang is ablaze with autumn colors, southern Xinjiang is fragrant with melons and fruits, and the entire Duku Highway is usually open (specific traffic conditions are subject to real-time notices from local traffic management departments).

Xinjiang is vast with large temperature differences between day and night; it is recommended to bring windproof jackets, sun protection items, and commonly used medicines
Some sections are at higher altitudes (such as Bayanbulak at about 2,500 meters); when first arriving at high altitude, please rest and avoid strenuous exercise
The itinerary involves multiple ecological protection zones and cultural areas; please comply with local management regulations and visit civilly
If individual scenic spots are temporarily closed due to climate or policy reasons, the travel agency will change to an alternative plan after obtaining tourists’ consent
This journey across east and west is not only about seeing scenery, but also about measuring the texture and breath of this vast land in a calm way. Amid the soft sound of wheels and rails, meet a real, abundant Xinjiang with four distinct seasons.
