New Oriental Express Snow Lotus:A mobile viewing platform crossing north and south of the Tianshan Mountains
[Detailed introduction to the route or destination]
When you set foot on the land of Xinjiang, you enter a region favored by nature. Here there are towering snow-capped mountains and deep blue lakes, as well as vast grasslands and desolate canyons. As the provincial-level administrative region with the largest land area in China, Xinjiang’s geographical span means traditional travel often requires multiple round trips for an in-depth experience. The emergence of the New Oriental Express Snow Lotus special train breaks this limit—this train, designed with the concept of a “mobile viewing platform,” links the highlights north and south of the Tianshan Mountains into one route, allowing tourists to complete an immersive journey across northern and southern Xinjiang within 14 days.
The train adopts a fully enclosed carriage design, and the entire train is equipped with an oxygen supply system to effectively alleviate altitude sickness. The interior of the carriages is decorated in a light luxury style, with 3-4 private compartments recommended per carriage, striving to give each passenger ample space to move around. The compartments are equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, large viewing windows, and intelligent control systems, and some room types are also equipped with humidifiers and air purification equipment. The dining car offers specialty foods from northern and southern Xinjiang, from baked samsa to pilaf, from big plate chicken to Ili horse sausage, all prepared on site by local chefs.
According to recent operating data from 2026, this route has achieved a 98% punctuality rate. The train is equipped with a dual-track power supply system, ensuring power supply even in remote areas. There is a medical room in the carriage, and the accompanying doctor holds a practicing physician qualification certificate and can handle common altitude-related illnesses. The train uses silent track technology, with nighttime running noise controlled within 45 decibels, striving to ensure passengers’ rest quality.

The temperature difference between day and night is large, so bring windproof and warm outerwear.
Some scenic areas are more than 3,000 meters above sea level, so altitude sickness medication can be prepared in advance.
Respect the customs and habits of all ethnic groups, and obtain consent before photographing people.
