🚂 “Xiaoxiang” Train:A Journey Blending Hunan Culture and Western Region Scenery
In 2026, with the continuous upgrade of railway tourism products, the “Southern Train·Xiaoxiang” jointly built by Hunan Tourism Development Investment Group and China Railway Guangzhou Group officially entered operation. This high-end tourist train takes “Splendid Xiaoxiang” as its cultural theme, deeply integrating Hunan intangible cultural heritage, Hunan cuisine flavors, smart services, and the panoramic scenery of Xinjiang, creating an 18-day northern and southern Xinjiang loop tour that combines comfort, culture, and scenery. Unlike traditional group tours, the “Xiaoxiang” adopts a “train follows guests, no self-paid expenses” model, featuring a combination of soft sleeper compartments and boutique hotel accommodations, equipped with a 24-hour dedicated butler, onboard medical staff, and a high-quality tour guide team, especially suitable for families or middle-aged and elderly tourists who value experience and a relaxed pace.
🌄 Route Highlights:Departing from Lingnan, Crossing the Heart of the Silk Road
The “Xiaoxiang” departs from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, heading westward across central and northwestern China, ultimately reaching the heart of Xinjiang. The itinerary covers over 20 core attractions, including Kanas Lake, Hemu Ancient Village, and Colorful Beach in northern Xinjiang; Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley; Kashgar Old City, the Pamir Plateau, Taxkorgan County, Kuqa Tianshan Grand Canyon, and Lop Nur Village in southern Xinjiang. Along the way, you can not only view Yadan landforms, snow-capped mountains and lakes, grasslands and wetlands but also experience history and culture at places like Hami King’s Palace and Kashgar Old City, and learn about the lifestyles of local ethnic groups through intangible cultural heritage performances and home visits.
The carriage design incorporates Hunan elements such as Xiang embroidery and phoenix totems, featuring a dining car, multi-functional entertainment carriage, and panoramic viewing windows. Some room types are equipped with bathrooms and intelligent temperature control systems, and the entire train provides age-friendly facilities (such as SOS call devices and barrier-free passages) to ensure a safe and comfortable journey.
