🚂 Ride the ‘Mobile Hunan Living Room’ for an 18-day slow tour of Xinjiang — A brand new experience on the 2026 Xiaoxiang Train
In the fast-paced travel era, more and more people are yearning for deep, ‘slow down’ journeys. In 2026, the ‘New Southern Train · Xiaoxiang’ tour train, jointly launched by Hunan Tourism Development Investment Group and China Railway Guangzhou Group, offers a new travel option for those seeking comfort and depth with its ‘senior-friendly service + cultural immersion’ concept. This high-end tour train departing from Guangzhou Baiyun Station not only connects historical cities like Changsha, Wuchang, Xi’an, and Lanzhou but also delves deep into Xinjiang, taking 18 days to showcase the magnificent scenery on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains.
📍 More than just a train, it’s the journey itself
The Xiaoxiang Train starts from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, passes through several central cities, and enters Xinjiang, covering approximately 15,000 kilometers across nine provinces and regions. Unlike traditional group tours with frequent transfers and luggage handling, the Xiaoxiang Train adopts a ‘travel by night, tour by day, one berth throughout’ model — sightseeing during the day, sleeping on the train at night, with no need to change accommodations and luggage staying on board, truly achieving ‘easy travel, worry-free and effortless.’
The train carriages are infused with Hunan cultural elements, such as Xiang embroidery decorations and intangible cultural heritage displays, creating a ‘mobile cultural living room.’ Additionally, the entire train is equipped with senior-friendly facilities like non-slip floors, accessible handrails, and SOS call buttons, along with a medical area. Each trip includes a doctor on board for basic health monitoring and emergency support, making it especially suitable for retirees and travelers uncomfortable with long-distance bus rides.
