🚂 Slow travel, deep experience:Embark on the ‘Xiaoxiang’ special train for an 18-day panoramic journey of the Western Regions
In this fast-paced era, a travel style is quietly making a comeback—making the train your home, traveling by night and sightseeing by day, framing the scenery through the window, and giving time back to the journey. In 2026, the ‘Southern Train · Xiaoxiang’ departs from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, taking you deep into the heart of Xinjiang. Over 18 days, it crosses the Tianshan Mountains from north to south, visiting over 80% of Xinjiang’s 5A-level scenic spots. No need to change hotels or rush along the way, truly realizing the immersive travel concept of ‘the train is the destination.’
🌄 In-depth introduction to the route and destinations
The ‘Xiaoxiang’ is not an ordinary tourist train, but a high-end themed tourist special train jointly created by Hunan Tourism Group and China Railway Guangzhou Group, featuring Hunan culture. The train has 17 carriages with a capacity of about 264 people. All sleeper berths are configured to star-rated hotel standards, equipped with USB charging ports, smart call buttons, extended tables, and 24-hour hot water systems. It also features a dedicated dining car, a multi-functional entertainment carriage (including KTV, mahjong tables, and reading areas), along with onboard medical staff and 24-hour butler service, making it especially suitable for middle-aged, elderly, and family travelers who value comfort and cultural experiences.
This itinerary covers the essence of Xinjiang: from the Ghost City of the Great Sea Road in Hami, the eastern gateway, to the picturesque scenery of Kanas in northern Xinjiang; from Sayram Lake and Nalati Grassland in the Ili River Valley, to the Karakul Lake and Taxian County scenery on the Pamir Plateau in southern Xinjiang; then via the Duku Highway, Kuqa Grand Canyon, Kashgar Old City, and Lop Nur Village, finally returning with a wealth of memories. Along the way, it not only connects natural wonders but also incorporates cultural experiences such as intangible cultural heritage performances and folk interactions, making the journey both visually stunning and spiritually resonant.
