In the fast-paced era of travel, a way is quietly returning: slow down, board a comfortable special train, enjoy the scenery by day, and sleep under the stars by night. In 2026, the ‘Southern Train·Xiaoxiang’ tourism special train continues its features of ‘elderly-friendly comfort + cultural immersion,’ launching a classic 18-day itinerary covering northern and southern Xinjiang, as well as parts of Qinghai and Gansu.
