🚂 Xiaoxiang Tour Train:A mobile home for slow travel through the Western Regions, embarking on a new journey in 2026
In an era of fast pace, a ‘slow down’ trip is especially precious. In 2026, the ‘Xiaoxiang’ tour train, with its ‘full sleeper + boutique hotel’ combination and an 18-day in-depth tour of northern and southern Xinjiang, has become an ideal choice for many families, especially elderly tourists. Departing from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, it traverses the Central Plains and heads straight to Xinjiang’s snowy mountains, lakes, grasslands, canyons, and plateau lakes, measuring the Silk Road scenery with train wheels and restoring the essence of travel with a comfortable rhythm.
🌄 Route Highlights:More than just scenery, it’s about the experience
The ‘Xiaoxiang’ is not an ordinary tourist train but a ‘mobile living space’ integrating transportation, accommodation, dining, and guided tours. It adopts a night-travel, day-play model to avoid the fatigue of frequent luggage handling and long-distance bus rides. The train is equipped with dedicated attendants, onboard doctors, and dual tour guide services. Meals focus on low oil and salt, balancing flavor and health, making it especially suitable for retirees and tourists who cannot tolerate long bus rides.
Compared to other Xinjiang special trains, the ‘Xiaoxiang’ itinerary covers core attractions such as Kanas, Hemu, and Sayram Lake in northern Xinjiang, and Kashgar, the Pamir Plateau, and Bayanbulak in southern Xinjiang. It also includes the highlight section of the Duku Highway and unique landforms like the Devil City of the Great Sea Road, achieving a true ‘panoramic loop’. Additionally, the entire trip has no shopping arrangements, and scenic spot tickets are pre-booked, allowing tourists to focus on sightseeing without worrying about trivial matters.
