The special train departs from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, crossing five provinces—Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi, and Gansu—finally arriving at Hami, Xinjiang, covering over 6,000 kilometers. Unlike other special trains, the Xiaoxiang adopts a ‘special train + local boutique hotel’ model:During the day, enjoy the scenery from the train; in the evening, arrive at core scenic spots and check into local four-star hotels, avoiding long-distance travel and truly achieving ‘hassle-free long-distance transport without repeatedly moving luggage.’
In terms of route design, the Xiaoxiang covers over 80% of Xinjiang’s 5A-level scenic spots, from the Yardang landforms of Hami to the lake and mountain views of Kanas, from the grasslands and flower seas of Yili to the ancient city charm of Kashgar. The 18-day itinerary connects the grandeur of northern Xinjiang with the depth of southern Xinjiang. The train stops are carefully planned, such as brief stops in historical and cultural cities like Xi’an and Lanzhou, allowing tourists to experience the cultural fusion of the Central Plains and the Western Regions.
