It links the highlights of North and South Xinjiang in a unique way of travel, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the magnificence of snow mountains, grasslands, lakes, and gobi deserts from comfortable carriages. In 2027, this special train will set off again, leading travelers across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains to experience Xinjiang’s diverse charm.

Xinjiang accounts for one-sixth of China’s land area and has high-quality natural landscapes and a heritage of thousands of years of civilization. Northern Xinjiang is famous for the snow mountains and forests of Altay, the lake and mountain scenery of Kanas, and the grassland flower seas of Ili; southern Xinjiang is known for the charm of Kashgar’s old city, the grandeur of the Pamir Plateau, and the desert wonders of the Taklamakan. The New Oriental Express Snow Lotus special train cleverly connects the two regions, allowing visitors to deeply experience Xinjiang’s geographical and cultural span within 14 days.
The special train uses customized carriage designs, with observation windows, bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, and 24-hour hot water throughout the train.
