🚂 2027 New Oriental Express Xinjiang High-End Special Train | Pre-Trip Preparation Guide for Taiwan Compatriots (Focusing on Cultural and Lifestyle Adaptation)
Xinjiang, a land stretching across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and blending diverse landscapes and cultures, is welcoming travelers from afar with a calm and abundant posture. In 2027, the “New Oriental Express” continues its high-end railway travel tradition, launching an in-depth loop itinerary running from northern to southern Xinjiang. For Taiwan compatriots setting foot in this vast region for the first time, in addition to enjoying snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, and canyons, it is even more necessary to prepare for cultural understanding and lifestyle details before the trip—this is not just about comfort, but also about respect for the local way of life.
📍 Route Highlights:A mobile living room that travels through four seasons
The “New Oriental Express” is not an ordinary tourist train, but a mobile hotel equipped with en-suite compartments. The carriages feature constant temperature control and refined soft furnishings. After each day’s itinerary, you can return to your exclusive space to rest, avoiding the hustle of frequently changing accommodations. The entire journey covers classic landscapes such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak Wetland, and Kashgar Old City, while also passing through scenic corridors such as the Ahe Highway and the southern section of the Duku Highway, achieving an immersive experience of “the train moving with the scenery, and the scenery moving with the train.” In the current season (early summer 2027), the meadows of northern Xinjiang are turning green and wildflowers are gradually blooming. Although the apricot blossoms in southern Xinjiang have already faded, the clear skies of the Pamir Plateau and the clarity of Baisha Lake are in an excellent viewing period.

🧳 Special Preparation Suggestions for Taiwan Compatriots
The “New Oriental Express” is not an ordinary tourist train, but a mobile hotel equipped with en-suite compartments. The carriages feature constant temperature control and refined soft furnishings. After each day’s itinerary, you can return to your exclusive space to rest, avoiding the hustle of frequently changing accommodations. The entire journey covers classic landscapes such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak Wetland, and Kashgar Old City, while also passing through scenic corridors such as the Ahe Highway and the southern section of the Duku Highway, achieving an immersive experience of “the train moving with the scenery, and the scenery moving with the train.” In the current season (early summer 2027), the meadows of northern Xinjiang are turning green and wildflowers are gradually blooming. Although the apricot blossoms in southern Xinjiang have already faded, the clear skies of the Pamir Plateau and the clarity of Baisha Lake are in an excellent viewing period.✅ Document Preparation
Be sure to carry a valid “Taiwan Compatriot Travel Permit to the Mainland” (Taiwan Compatriot Permit) and the endorsement page, with validity covering the entire itinerary as much as possible (recommended to leave more than 30 days).
Although it does not involve border non-open areas, some sections (such as going to Tashkurgan) may pass through public security checkpoints, and you need to cooperate by presenting your documents. Please make a photocopy in advance for backup and keep an electronic version in your phone’s cloud storage.
✅ Climate and Clothing
Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night. From June to September, daytime temperatures can reach 25–30°C, while nighttime temperatures can drop below 10°C, especially in high-altitude areas such as Kanas and Bayanbulak. It is recommended to bring windproof jackets, lightweight down inner linings, long pants, and comfortable hiking shoes.
Sunlight is strong and the UV index is high. Please prepare wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and SPF50+ sunscreen.
✅ Food and Health
📌 Simple ItineraryThe train and hotels provide diverse meals catering to various tastes, but overall lean toward northern flavors (mainly wheat-based foods, beef, and mutton). If you have special dietary needs (such as vegetarian or allergens), please inform in advance at the time of registration so that arrangements can be coordinated.
The dry climate can easily cause throat discomfort or mild dehydration. It is recommended to bring lip balm, moisturizing spray, and commonly used medicines (such as gastrointestinal medicine and cold medicine). Drinking water is provided on the train, and you may also bring a thermos to replenish water at any time.
✅ Cultural Etiquette Tips
When visiting places such as Kashgar Old City, please observe public order and avoid loud noises. When entering folk culture activity areas, please do not arbitrarily photograph people who are experiencing folk customs.
When participating in folk interaction activities such as the “Tajik Family Visit,” you may prepare small souvenirs (such as stationery or candy) to express friendliness; valuable items are not necessary.
✅ Communication and Payment
4G/5G signals are good in major cities and scenic areas in Xinjiang. It is recommended to activate mainland roaming or purchase a local SIM card (there is a service hall at Urumqi Airport).
Day01 Nationwide-UrumqiMobile payment (WeChat, Alipay) is widely applicable in cities and scenic areas, but in remote areas it is still recommended to carry a small amount of cash (200–500 yuan) for emergencies.
