If you long to deeply experience Xinjiang’s magnificence over 14 days while enjoying five-star comfort throughout, then the New Oriental Express Snow Lotus luxury train is your ideal choice. This train, designed specifically for high-end travelers with the concept of a “mobile palace,” connects core attractions across North and South Xinjiang including Urumqi, Altay, Kanas, Yining, Nalati, Kuqa, Kashgar, and Turpan, allowing you to take in beautiful Xinjiang from the comfort of your carriage.
