🌄 【Romance Across Mountains and Rivers:The Panoramic Western Regions Journey of the Xiaoxiang Special Train】🌄
In 2026, the Xiaoxiang Special Train, centered around ‘slow travel and deep experiences,’ offers couples a romantic journey across mountains and rivers. Departing from Guangzhou, the train passes through historical and cultural cities such as Changsha, Wuchang, Xi’an, and Lanzhou, ultimately arriving in Xinjiang, connecting the richness of the Central Plains with the vastness of the Western Regions. The itinerary includes magnificent natural landscapes—such as the blue waves of Tianchi Lake in the Tianshan Mountains, the scenic lakes and mountains of Kanas, and the ‘highland blue gem’ of Sayram Lake—as well as rich cultural experiences—including the architectural art of the Hui Palace, the intangible cultural heritage performance of the Twelve Mukams, and traditional handicrafts of various ethnic groups.
The special train adopts a ‘mobile hotel + local accommodation’ model, featuring en-suite deluxe rooms (Xiaoxiang Mansion) and comfortable double rooms (Zhengxiang Courtyard) throughout the journey, minimizing the hassle of moving luggage and allowing couples to focus more on each other’s company. Special moments such as ‘Stargazing Conversations’ and ‘Prairie Sunset’ are arranged to create unique memories for the couple away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
