🚂 [New Southern Express Xiaoxiang号:An 18-day mobile scenic route through North and South Xinjiang—how do you start your epic journey through the Western Regions?]
🌄 [Route highlights:Special train + land dual experience, unlocking the A and B sides of Xinjiang]
Xinjiang’s vastness makes the word “travel” inherently challenging—if you want an in-depth tour of both North and South Xinjiang, 18 days is a more relaxed choice. The New Southern Express Xiaoxiang号 special train is designed with the concept of a “mobile star-rated hotel,” combining special train sleeper berths with local boutique hotels. This saves the hassle of packing luggage every day and allows you to stay in comfortable hotels when arriving at core scenic areas, truly achieving “explore attractions fully by day, conserve energy by night.”
The special train uses fully enclosed carriages, equipped with air conditioning, charging ports, and 24-hour hot water. Each carriage is staffed with attendants and a accompanying doctor, maximizing convenience. More uniquely, the special train stops along the way at cultural cities such as Changsha, Wuchang, and Xi’an. Although no in-depth sightseeing is arranged, through the windows you can experience the changing landscapes from the Jiangnan water towns to the northwestern deserts—it can truly be called a “mobile geography classroom.”
👩💼 [The route designer says:Wang Fei’s “Xinjiang DNA” and itinerary ingenuity]
“Xinjiang’s beauty is hidden in the details—the morning mist of Kanas, the wildflowers of Nalati, the century-old teahouses of Kashgar’s old city. These moments require slowing down to feel.” Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, is a native Xinjiang local who has worked in the tourism industry for more than ten years and has traveled to every scenic spot north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. The Xiaoxiang号 itinerary she designed abandons “rush-style check-ins” and instead focuses on “immersive experiences”:
In Kanas, arrange to stay in Jiadengyu, just to have the unmanned Fairy Bay to yourself in the early morning;
In Kashgar’s old city, reserve half a day of free time so tourists can drink tea and stroll through the bazaar like locals;
For the Duku Highway, recommend walking the highlight section to avoid the fatigue of long-distance driving while still collecting a visual feast of snow mountains, canyons, and grasslands.
🚂[New Southern Express Xiaoxiang号: An 18-day mobile scenic route through North and South Xinjiang—how do you start your epic journey through the Western Regions?]“Xinjiang’s weather is changeable and road conditions are complex; the special train can fully avoid these uncertainties.” Wang Fei emphasized that the special train’s fixed schedules and unified management free tourists from worrying about transportation connections, hotel bookings, and other trivial matters, making it especially suitable for family trips and middle-aged and elderly groups.
