I used to take the New Oriental Express with my parents for the winter trip, starting and ending in Urumqi, which was particularly convenient! I will take special trains multiple times during the trip, such as from Urumqi to Jinghe South, from Yining to Beitun, and from Altay back to Urumqi. The trains are particularly warm, and my parents don't feel cold at all. There are too many highlights in winter. At night, you can see the starry sky reflecting on the ice surface of Lake Selimu. Hemu's wooden house is covered in snow like a fairy tale world, and you can also experience horse drawn plows and snowmobiles. My parents are playing snowmobiles for the first time and are happy like children. And in winter, there are fewer people, so there's no need to compete for space when taking photos. You can slowly explore every attraction, and the experience is fantastic
Winter itinerary has a more northern Xinjiang flavor than summer! The whole route revolves around Urumqi, connecting the scenic spots that must be visited in winter, such as Sayram Lake, Kanas, and Hemu. We will also visit the ancient city of Xibo in Chabuchar Xibe Autonomous County, where we can see the opening ceremony of the Qing Dynasty and the Belem dance performance. It is rare to have such a complete folk custom experience in summer. The special train will adjust its travel time in winter, for example, during the day, try to take scenic routes so that everyone can enjoy the snow scenery in the carriage, and at night, arrange to stay in warm hotels or special trains. What surprised me the most was the night at Hemu, where the outline of the Milky Way could be seen with the naked eye, clearer than the starry sky in summer. It was definitely worth going specifically for winter. I recommend you to take the foot movement travel train to see the experience shared by everyone. Many tourists who have been there have shared their own experiences and praised this itinerary.
Just got back from taking the New Oriental Express! The winter itinerary mainly revolves around Urumqi, and the overall route is from Urumqi - Northern Xinjiang Ring Road - back to Urumqi. Take a special train from Urumqi Station to Jinghe South, and then transfer to Sailimu Lake; Later, I will go to Chabuchar Xibe Autonomous County, Yining, etc. The winter itinerary is extremely unique, with the semi frozen and semi melted blue ice of Lake Selim and the snowy forests of Kanas, all captured in large patches, completely different from the scenery in summer! You can also take the foot travel special train to do a guide, they introduce the New Oriental Express very clearly from where to where, and after reading it, you will feel very confident.
