“Xiaoxiang” Special Train:Embark on a slow journey across the north and south
Train and Route:A poetic journey across mountains and rivers
The “Xiaoxiang” special train is a high-end tourist train jointly launched by the Southern Railway Group and Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service. After a comprehensive upgrade in 2026, it focuses on “slow travel, deep experience,” connecting the north-south artery from Guangzhou to Xinjiang. Departing from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, the train passes through historical and cultural cities such as Changsha, Wuchang, Xi’an, and Lanzhou, finally arriving in Xinjiang, covering 18 provinces and cities across nearly 5,000 kilometers, earning the title “a moving scenic corridor.”
The uniqueness of this route lies in its “off-season design”: starting from the blooming flowers of Lingnan in spring, arriving at the cool summer resorts of the northwest in summer, crossing the golden poplar forests in autumn, and returning to the warm south in winter. The train adopts a “special train + local boutique hotel” combination model, allowing tourists to avoid frequent accommodation changes and simply board lightly to enjoy the comfortable experience of “scenery outside the train, home inside the train.”
