✨ Detailed Route Introduction
The upgraded 2026 New Oriental Express goes beyond the traditional tourist train’s commuting function, resembling a mobile living space on rails. After the suite space upgrade, it features a reception area and viewing windows, with a fresh air system and smart bathroom facilities throughout the train. Each carriage has dedicated service staff, and the night-time vibration reduction system significantly minimizes bumps, allowing tourists to move between cities while sleeping. Upon arrival during the day, they can start in-depth tours, eliminating the fatigue of daily luggage handling and long bus rides typical of regular travel.
Currently, the train mainly offers two types of itineraries. The summer northern Xinjiang itinerary from May to September covers areas like the Altai Mountains, Ili River Valley, and Pamir Plateau, allowing a one-time view of diverse landscapes such as blue lakes, grasslands, canyons, and snow-capped mountains: the canyon streams of Keketuohai wind through granite stone forests, the wooden houses of Hemu Village are scattered among birch forests, the lake and mountain scenery of Kanas changes colors with the light, the azure waters of Sayram Lake contrast with distant snow mountains, the grasslands of Nalati are dotted with herds of cattle and sheep, the rivers of Bayinbuluke outline a winding path on the prairie, the red rock cliffs of Kuqa Grand Canyon show intense colors under sunlight, and the白沙湖 (White Sand Lake) on the Pamir Plateau resembles a blue gem embedded between sand mountains and snow peaks.
The October southern Xinjiang itinerary focuses on cultural relics and autumn poplar scenery, suitable for tourists who prefer historical sites and autumn landscapes: the ruins of Jiaohe Ancient City preserve traces of a thousand-year-old city, the underground channels of Karez well reflect the wisdom of ancient laborers, the exhibits at Loulan Museum restore the mysterious style of ancient Loulan, the streets of Hotan Old City hide a rich atmosphere of life, the ancient palace of Shache retains historical marks, and the Tarim Poplar Forest in Luntai turns into a golden ocean in autumn.

Consult customer service in advance for clothing recommendations for your specific itinerary.
Xinjiang’s climate is generally dry with high UV intensity. Bring moisturizing skincare products and sunscreen, and stay hydrated during activities.
If visiting plateau areas, prepare your body in advance, avoid strenuous exercise, and bring common medications if you have underlying conditions. You can also inquire about upgrading to include on-site medical support services.
