The dream special train to explore the Western Regions — New Southern Express Xiaoxiang号 full guide✨
I. Route highlights: an immersive journey through mountains and rivers across the Western Regions
The New Southern Express Xiaoxiang号 takes “panoramic Western Regions” as its core, connecting the essence landscapes of northern and southern Xinjiang, from the Yardang landforms of Hami to the lake and mountain scenery of Kanas, from the blue ice wonder of Sayram Lake to the snow mountains and lakes of the Pamir Plateau. The 18-day itinerary covers four major landforms: desert, grassland, canyon, and plateau, and can be called a “moving encyclopedia of the Western Regions.” The special train adopts a flexible model of “train + local boutique hotels,” with in-depth sightseeing during the day and rest on the special train at night, saving time and avoiding long-distance travel, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists and family trips.
II. Core landscapes and cultural experiences
1. Natural wonders: check in at Xinjiang’s “geography textbook”
[Dahaidao Ghost City]🌄:Recent data for 2027 shows that this is still a well-preserved Yardang landform group in China, where Mars-like red rock layers interweave with wind-eroded gullies. At sunset, light and shadow change, and any casual shot is a blockbuster.
[Tianshan Tianchi]⛰️:As a landmark attraction in Xinjiang, in 2027 the scenic area added a lakeside boardwalk and viewing platform, allowing visitors to enjoy a 360-degree view of the stunning scene of Bogda Peak reflected in the lake.
[Kanas]🏞️:In autumn, Kanas Lake and the primeval forest dyed in layers form a “palette.” In 2027, the scenic area’s visitor cap policy is stricter, and tickets need to be reserved in advance.
[Duku Highway]🛣️:The itinerary specially arranges a tour of the highlight section. This “China’s most beautiful highway” is expected to be open from June to October in 2027. Along the way, snow mountains, grasslands, and canyon landscapes are dense, and it can be called “seeing all four seasons in one day.”
