「Xiaoxiang」Special Train:A mobile viewing platform crossing mountains and rivers, embarking on a slow-paced deep travel journey
Train Highlights:Mobile ‘Five-Star Viewing Platform’, designed for middle-aged and elderly travelers and comfortable tours
If ordinary trains are ‘transportation tools’, the ‘Xiaoxiang’ is more like a ‘mobile boutique hotel + cultural experience center’. The newly upgraded special train in 2026 focuses on ‘slow travel’, featuring three main characteristics: ‘no need to move luggage throughout the journey, a relaxed pace, and attentive service’. It is especially suitable for retired seniors, tourists who cannot sit in cars for long periods, and travelers seeking deep experiences.
Special Train Route:From Lingnan to the Western Regions, a cultural corridor spanning most of China
The ‘Xiaoxiang’ departs from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, passing through historical cities such as Changsha, Wuchang, Zhengzhou, Xi’an, and Lanzhou, finally arriving in Xinjiang, connecting Lingnan culture, Central Plains civilization, Northwest customs, and Western Regions legends. The route design cleverly avoids the ‘superficial tour’ of traditional travel groups, with ample stopover time at each station, allowing tourists enough time to experience local culture. For example, visit the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an, taste authentic Lanzhou pulled noodles in Lanzhou, and explore natural wonders like Kanas and Sayram Lake in Xinjiang.
🚂 Special Train Features:Details make the difference
Mobile ‘Five-Star Hotel’:The entire train uses soft sleeper carriages, equipped with air conditioning, charging ports, and reading lights. The bed width is 10 cm wider than ordinary trains, ensuring more comfortable sleep.
