New Oriental Express Snow Lotus:A new choice for high-end travel in 2027, unlocking in-depth travel in Xinjiang 🚂
🌄 Train introduction:A moving “five-star castle,” redefining travel in Xinjiang
The New Oriental Express Snow Lotus is the “flagship work” of Xinjiang railway tourism, created specifically for travelers who pursue quality and experience. With “high-end, private, and comfortable” as its core, this train upgrades traditional train travel into a “moving vacation experience.” The newly upgraded train body in 2026 features simple and gorgeous livery inspired by Xinjiang’s silk, snow mountains, and grasslands, while the interior blends modern design with ethnic cultural elements, making it worthy of being called a “land cruise ship.”
The train is positioned as a “deep tour special train across Xinjiang,” covering core attractions such as Kanas in northern Xinjiang, the Ili grasslands, Kashgar in southern Xinjiang, and the Taklamakan Desert. The itinerary is designed to balance natural scenery and cultural experiences, suitable for tourists seeking “slow travel.” In 2027, the train will launch two main routes: the “April-October summer edition” and the “October southern Xinjiang autumn scenery edition,” meeting travel needs in different seasons.
