đ ăSlow Journey to the Western Regions ¡ A Moving Hunan Living RoomăThe 18-Day Panoramic Tour of the Southern Train ‘Xiaoxiang’, Embarking on a New Journey in 2026!
In this fast-paced era, a way of traveling is quietly making a comebackânot rushing through attractions, but letting the scenery flow gently past the window; not hustling between hotels, but waking up still ‘at home,’ with the next stop already at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. In 2026, the ‘Southern Train ¡ Xiaoxiang’ will debut as the nation’s first high-end tourist special train themed around Hunan culture, embarking on a 10,000-mile journey across Guangdong, Hunan, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xinjiang. Spanning 18 days and 17 nights, crossing nine provinces and covering approximately 15,000 kilometers, it brings the snowy peaks and lakes of Northern Xinjiang, the desert oases of Southern Xinjiang, and the vast grandeur of the Pamir Plateau into this moving ‘cultural living room.’
⨠Why Choose Xiaoxiang?
It’s more than just a trainâit’s a moving star-rated hotel: The entire train consists of 17 fixed carriages, with 90 rooms and 264 seats, equipped with shared or private bathrooms, smart temperature control, USB charging ports, emergency call systems, and features a dining car and a multi-functional entertainment carriage (for karaoke, mahjong, reading, and cultural salons). With 24-hour travel butlers, expert guides, and onboard medical services throughout the journey, it’s especially suited for family trips, group outings with friends, and travelers who value comfort.
