🚂 Travel slowly through the Western Regions by train, packing Xinjiang into 18 days of flowing time
If you’re tired of catching early flights, dragging luggage between hotels, and jostling through crowded scenic spots, then the ‘Southern Express · Xiaoxiang’ might be the travel style you’ve been waiting for. This high-end tourist special train is not just a means of transport, but a mobile comfortable residence—by day, delve deep into Xinjiang’s heartland to explore natural wonders and cultural imprints; by night, return to your soft sleeper carriage for a peaceful sleep, with no need to frequently move luggage, and a relaxed, unhurried pace. In 2026, this classic route spanning northern and southern Xinjiang sets off again, using a ‘travel by day, rest by night’ model to immerse you in the grandeur and delicacy of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
🌄 Route Highlights:More than just Xinjiang, a dual journey of culture and scenery
Although the ‘Xiaoxiang’ is inspired by Hunan culture (with carriages incorporating Xiang embroidery elements, Phoenix Ancient City imagery, etc.), its destination points straight to the vast landscapes of Northwest China. From the Yardang landforms of Hami to the emerald waters and forests of Kanas, from the azure of Sayram Lake to the vastness of the Pamir Plateau, the itinerary covers the beauty of northern Xinjiang, the depth of southern Xinjiang, and the diversity of eastern Xinjiang. Along the way, it features natural treasures like Heavenly Lake Tianshan, Nalati Grassland, and Bayanbulak Swan Lake, as well as historical districts like Kashgar Old City and the Hami King’s Palace, showcasing the cultural heritage along the Silk Road.
Notably, the train itself is a key part of the journey. The entire train has 17 soft sleeper carriages, equipped with a multi-functional entertainment area (including a reading corner and board game facilities), a dining car, and accompanied by onboard medical staff and 24-hour butler service. The carriages feature anti-slip floors, accessible handrails, and SOS call devices, balancing comfort with senior-friendly needs, making it suitable for family, friends, or silver-haired groups traveling together.
