The full itinerary of the Xiaoxiang Tour Train can save you a lot of travel hassles. Many friends are asking how to register and pay for this train. Today, I’ve compiled complete information for you, including route features, itinerary, price reference, registration methods, etc., for your reference.
First, let me introduce the route features of this train:This train departs from Guangzhou, heading north through several central cities, and finally arrives in Xinjiang, covering many famous landscapes in Eastern, Northern, and Southern Xinjiang. You can see the Yardang landforms of the Great Sea Road Devil City, visit the alpine lake of Tianshan Tianchi, enjoy the natural scenery of Kanas, the clear blue lake of Sayram Lake, the grasslands of Nalati and Bayinbuluke, and even travel the essence section of the Duku Highway, exploring the natural beauty of the Pamir Plateau. The 18-day itinerary allows a comprehensive experience of Xinjiang’s diverse regional landscapes. According to the latest 2026 Xinjiang cultural tourism information, scenic spots like Bayinbuluke, which were closed in winter, have reopened by the end of April, and the Duku Highway is expected to fully open by the end of May, perfectly matching the train’s schedules, ensuring a good travel experience. Additionally, in 2026, all popular scenic spots in Xinjiang implement a ‘limited capacity, reservation, staggered peak’ policy. For popular spots like Sayram Lake, Kanas, and Nalati, it’s recommended to complete real-name reservations 3-7 days in advance. The train staff will assist tourists with the reservation process, so you don’t need to worry about grabbing tickets. It’s worth noting that Xinjiang is vast with large temperature differences between day and night. Even in summer, temperatures in mountainous areas can drop below 10°C. It’s recommended to bring warm clothing like a windbreaker or light down jacket, as well as sunglasses, sunscreen, and a sun hat. Some mountain roads may have residual snow, so a pair of non-slip shoes would be convenient.
