🚂 Slow Travel in the Western Regions, Accompanied by Hunan Charm | A New Perspective on the 18-Day Panoramic Journey of the Southern Train ‘Xiaoxiang’
In the fast-paced era of travel, ‘slowing down’ has become a luxury. In 2026, the high-end tourist special train jointly created by Hunan Tourism Development Investment Group and China Railway Guangzhou—the Southern Train¡Xiaoxiang—is redefining the comfort and depth of long-distance travel with its unique model of ‘traveling by day, moving by night, and the train following the guests.’ This 18-day journey traversing northern and southern Xinjiang is not just a geographical crossing but an immersive experience blending Hunan culture with the scenery of the Western Regions.
🌄 Route Highlights:More Than Scenery: It’s About Pace and Details
The ‘Xiaoxiang’ is not an ordinary sightseeing train but a mobile living room of Hunan culture. The entire train consists of 17 soft-sleeper cars, with a capacity of about 264 people, featuring full soft-sleeper configuration, a dining car, a multi-functional entertainment car, and panoramic viewing windows. The cars incorporate elements like Hunan embroidery and phoenix totems, and even the bedding is made of high-end eco-friendly materials. More thoughtfully, it offers 24-hour dedicated butler service, onboard medical staff, and age-friendly facilities (such as SOS call devices and barrier-free passages), making it especially suitable for families or elderly tourists who value comfort.
In terms of itinerary design, it adopts a rhythm of ‘sightseeing by day and traveling by night’ to avoid the hassle of frequent hotel changes. Departing from Guangzhou, it crosses the Central Plains and delves deep into Xinjiang, covering key destinations such as Hami, Urumqi, Kanas, Yining, Nalati, Kashgar, and Korla, connecting diverse landscapes like deserts, yardangs, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, and ancient cities, truly achieving ‘multiple sights on one route.’
