🚂 Traveling slowly across China by train:New Perspective on the 2026 Panoramic Journey of the Southern Express ‘Xiaoxiang’
In the fast-paced era of travel, ‘slowing down’ has become a luxury. In 2026, the first national Huxiang culture-themed tourist train—the Southern Express ‘Xiaoxiang’—embraces the concept of a ‘mobile cultural living room,’ turning an 18-day journey into an immersive Western Regions tour. It is not an ordinary train but a moving hotel on rails, combining soft sleeper compartments, cultural experiences, and in-depth sightseeing, especially suitable for families and senior groups seeking comfort and experiential travel.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Xiaoxiang’ focuses on the grand loop of northern and southern Xinjiang, starting from Lingnan, crossing the Central Plains, and delving into the Tianshan Mountains, covering core areas such as Hami, Urumqi, Kanas, Yining, Nalati, Bayanbulak, Kashgar, and Korla. The entire journey balances natural wonders and cultural landscapes:
Grand Canyon Devil City:Yardang landforms formed by millennia of wind erosion, vast and magnificent;
Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain:Snow-capped mountains reflected in the emerald lake, like a picturesque scene;
Kanas and Hemu:Known as ‘nature’s reserve,’ with layers of autumn colors and lush summer greenery;
Sayram Lake:A highland sapphire with crystal-clear waters;

🚂 Traveling slowly across China by train: New Perspective on the 2026 Panoramic Journey of the Southern Express ‘Xiaoxiang’Nalati and Bayanbulak Grasslands:Sky meadows and Swan Lake complement each other;
Pamir Plateau:Karakul Lake overlooking Muztagh Ata, with the Stone City telling tales of the ancient Silk Road;
Kashgar Old City:Maze-like streets preserve traditional architecture, with the Id Kah Mosque standing solemn;
Lop Nur Village and Bosten Lake:Rare water town scenery in southern Xinjiang, showcasing oasis ecological diversity.
The entire route design avoids high-intensity hiking, emphasizing ‘scenery moving with the train,’ allowing tourists to comfortably experience the gradual shift in regional landscapes—from the mildness of Jiangnan to the vastness of the northwest, and then to the mystery of the Western Regions, building up layer by layer.
