[New Southern Railway Xiaoxiang Train:Full analysis of the 18-day panoramic in-depth tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang services] 🚂✨
🌄 [Route overview:A moving scenic route across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains]
The “Xiaoxiang Train” special train launched by Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency is a “phenomenal” product for Northern and Southern Xinjiang tourism in 2026. This 18-day panoramic in-depth tour takes “slow travel” as its core concept, connecting more than 20 highlight destinations such as Hami, Kanas, Yining, and Kashgar, covering the four major landforms of desert, grassland, snow mountain, and lake, with average daily driving time controlled within 3 hours, allowing tourists to immersively experience the vastness and magnificence of Xinjiang in a moving “five-star hotel.”
The special train adopts a “train follows the people” model, with no need to transfer major transportation throughout the journey, and luggage can remain in the carriage the whole time. The carriages are divided into two room types: “Xiaoxiang Mansion” (2-person room with private bathroom) and “Zhengxiang Courtyard” (4-person room with shared bathroom), both equipped with humidifiers, constant-temperature air conditioning, and 24-hour hot water, solving travel pain points in Xinjiang’s dry climate. The special train also has a dining car, leisure bar, and observation deck, where tourists can taste Xinjiang specialty cuisine while enjoying the Gobi, snow mountain, and grassland scenery along the way.
