Baiyun:A moving scenic route from Guangzhou to Xinjiang—2027 High-End Special Train In-Depth Experience Guide
Detailed introduction to the route or destination
Baiyun is a mobile high-end tourist special train crossing both southern and northern Xinjiang, starting from Guangzhou and connecting core destinations such as Chongqing, Urumqi, Altay, Ili, and Kashgar. The entire journey adopts a dual mode of “train + land,” retaining the comfort of a traditional special train while incorporating customized land itineraries. The train is equipped with private compartments, 24-hour butler service, and specialty dining, making it suitable for travelers seeking quality and depth.
Xinjiang is vast, accounting for one-sixth of China’s land area, and features diverse landscapes such as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and deserts. The Baiyun itinerary covers landmark attractions such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, and Nalati Grassland, while also going deep into lesser-known villages such as Hemu Village and Baihaba. It combines experiences of ethnic handicrafts and exploration of intangible cultural heritage cuisine to create a “slow travel” experience. According to 2026 data from the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism, visitor satisfaction on southern and northern Xinjiang routes reached 92%, with the “special train + customized small group” model being the most favored.
