✨ New Southern Express · Xiaoxiang Hao:A slow western journey tailored for elders, the perfect time for a comfortable departure ✨
As summer reaches its peak, more and more families are paying attention to in-depth slow-travel products suitable for parents and elders. In 2026, the “Xiaoxiang Hao” tourist special train, with its thoughtful design of “sightseeing by day, traveling by night, luggage stays put, and the train follows you,” has become an ideal choice for middle-aged and elderly tourists to explore Xinjiang. Unlike the compact pace of traditional group tours, this 18-day panoramic western journey takes the mobile special train as home — exploring scenic areas deeply during the day and sleeping comfortably in the carriage at night, with no need to frequently move luggage throughout the trip, truly achieving “easily seeing all of beautiful Xinjiang.”
🌄 Route Highlights:A panoramic experience crossing the Tianshan Mountains from north to south
The “Xiaoxiang Hao” departs from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, heading west across Central China and the Northwest, finally reaching deep into the Xinjiang hinterland, covering the three major regions of Eastern, Northern, and Southern Xinjiang. The itinerary includes the crystal-clear lakes of Tianchi on Tianshan, the autumn fairy tale of Kanas, the morning mist and cooking smoke of Hemu Ancient Village, the Danxia sunset of Colorful Beach, the plateau blue mirror of Sayram Lake, the green carpet of flower seas on the Narat Grassland, the magnificent canyons of the Duku Highway, as well as the White Sand Lake on the Pamir Plateau and the cultural charm of Kashgar Old City.
According to the 2026 scenic area opening policies, all the above attractions are open to tourists normally, and some high-altitude areas (such as Bayanbulak and Tashkurgan County) have been equipped with basic medical support and elderly-friendly service facilities. The special train team is accompanied by onboard attendants and tour guides, with a relaxed daily pace and ample sightseeing time, making it especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends who want an in-depth experience without the fatigue of long-distance bus rides.
