✨ [2027 New Oriental Express Snow Lotus: A mobile viewing platform running through the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains] ✨
🌄 Route highlights:A mobile scenic corridor through the four seasons
As a benchmark of Xinjiang’s high-end tourist trains, the New Oriental Express Snow Lotus will continue its “one window, one view” design concept for its summer 2027 departures. The entire train uses viewing cars of different specifications with 7-55 seats, among which the “Xiyue Golden Diamond” and “Honorable Golden Diamond” cabins are both equipped with bathrooms, thermostatic air conditioning, and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, meeting the privacy needs of two travelers. The train’s speed is controlled at 80-120 km/h, striving to ensure that while passengers enjoy Xinjiang specialty cuisine in the dining car, they can still clearly view the flowing picture outside the window—from the Gobi yardangs of the Junggar Basin, to the spruce and snow peaks of the Altai Mountains, and then to the lavender fields of the Ili River Valley. The 14-day itinerary crosses 8 climate zones, making it truly a “mobile geography textbook.”
