On the vast and expansive land of Xinjiang, a special train combining slow travel, in-depth experiences, and comfortable living is slowly approaching—it is the “Xiaoxiang号” tourist train.

🌟 Train Highlights and Route Features
The Xiaoxiang号 departs from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, traversing Central China and the Northwest, ultimately delving deep into the Xinjiang hinterland, connecting Northern Xinjiang’s Kanas, Hemu, Sayram Lake, Southern Xinjiang’s Kashgar, Pamir Plateau, Taxkorgan, and Eastern Xinjiang’s Hami and Turpan areas (the itinerary includes Lop Nur Village, Bosten Lake, etc.), achieving a true “panoramic tour of Xinjiang.”
The train is equipped with full-time guides and onboard medical staff throughout the journey. Meals cater to both northern and southern tastes, focusing on light and nutritious options, avoiding heavy oil and spice, and accommodating the dietary needs of the elderly and children. The pace is relaxed, with reasonable daily sightseeing arrangements to avoid rushed check-ins, allowing the journey to return to relaxation and immersion.
