🚂 2026 15-day North and South Xinjiang New Oriental Express Luxury Special Train Registration Process and Cost Details
On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, snow-capped mountains and deserts coexist, lakes and grasslands complement each other, and ancient cities and oases thrive together. Want to see the natural wonders and cultural landscapes of both sides of the Tianshan Mountains in one trip, while also enjoying a comfortable and worry-free journey? In 2026, the ‘New Oriental Express’ luxury tourist train, with its ‘mobile star-rated hotel’ model, offers travelers a slow-paced, high-comfort deep experience.
🌄 Route and Destination Introduction
The New Oriental Express is not an ordinary train but a professionally modified high-end tourist train. The carriages are equipped with bathrooms, constant-temperature air conditioning, soundproofing facilities, and age-friendly designs, and include a dining car, a bar car, and a sightseeing lounge area. The entire journey adopts a ‘night travel + day sightseeing’ model, stopping at core scenic spots during the day for in-depth exploration and allowing passengers to sleep soundly on the smoothly running train at night, avoiding the hassle of frequently changing hotels and moving luggage.
The route spans both sides of the Tianshan Mountains. The summer itinerary covers North Xinjiang’s Keketuohai, Hemu, Kanas, Colorful Beach, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayanbulak, as well as South Xinjiang’s Kashgar, Tashkurgan,白沙湖, Karakul Lake, and Turpan. In October, the focus shifts to South Xinjiang, delving into key Silk Road towns like Ruoqiang, Hotan, Shache, Kuqa, and Luntai, exploring Loulan cultural relics, poplar forests, and oasis ancient cities.
It should be noted that Xinjiang is vast, and some sections (such as the Duku Highway) are affected by seasonal weather. Scenic area opening hours and road conditions may change due to weather or policy adjustments. The travel agency will make reasonable itinerary changes in consultation with tourists, ensuring safety and experience.
