Exploring the Western Regions:Comprehensive Guide to the In-Depth Xinjiang Tour by the New Oriental Express
🌄 [Route Highlights:Mobile Viewing Platform Traversing the North and South of the Tianshan Mountains]
As a representative of Xinjiang’s high-end tourism trains, the New Oriental Express features a unique design of ‘the train moves with the scenery, and people travel with the train,’ connecting the snowy mountains and grasslands of Northern Xinjiang with the deserts and poplar trees of Southern Xinjiang. The newly upgraded train in 2026 is equipped with panoramic glass windows, bathrooms, and an observation bar, allowing passengers to enjoy the scenery of the Western Regions in a moving ‘five-star hotel.’
The train route traverses the Junggar Basin and the Tarim Basin, passing through natural wonders such as Koktokay, Kanas, and Sayram Lake, as well as cultural landmarks such as the Jiaohe Ancient City and the Id Kah Mosque. The specially designed ‘dual-route itinerary’ meets the needs of different seasons: the summer version focuses on the landscapes of Northern Xinjiang, while the autumn version emphasizes the culture of Southern Xinjiang. Both versions include classic routes such as the Duoku Road and the Pamir Plateau.
