If you are planning a deep trip covering the highlights of northern and southern Xinjiang, and hope for a relaxed pace while avoiding frequent transfers and the hassle of moving luggage, then the newly upgraded “Xiaoxiang号” tourist special train in 2026 may be your ideal choice. This panoramic special train route departing from Guangzhou Baiyun Station not only connects the core landscapes of eastern, northern, and southern Xinjiang, but also greatly reduces travel fatigue with its “travel by night, visit by day, sleep on board, play during the day” model.
It is especially suitable for families, friends, or like-minded small groups to sign up together — traveling with multiple people not only allows sharing cabin space and enhancing privacy, but also lets you look after each other and share experiences along the way, making the journey warmer.
🌄 Route highlights:One train to see the diverse landscapes of the Western Regions

🧳 Special notes on group travel
The “Xiaoxiang号” adopts an integrated packaged service model (including transportation, accommodation, tickets, and basic services) and does not sell tickets separately. When traveling with multiple people, you can flexibly choose cabin types based on group size — for example, a group of 4 friends or family can book the Zhengxiang Courtyard 4-person room, saving costs while facilitating communication; families traveling together may consider the Xiaoxiang Suite for the private bathroom and more space.
There is currently no public “group discount” policy, but multiple people signing up at the same time can be given priority for adjacent berths or same-carriage arrangements to enhance the overall experience. Specific seat allocation and availability are subject to real-time confirmation.
