🚂 2026 Departure from Guangzhou · Xiaoxiang Special Train 18-Day Tour of Northern and Southern Xinjiang:Travel thousands of miles slowly, taking in all the landscapes of the Western Regions
Tired of ‘check-in style’ travel? Want a journey with a relaxed pace and comprehensive service to experience the best of Northern and Southern Xinjiang in one go? The newly upgraded ‘Xiaoxiang’ tourist special train in 2026, as a ‘mobile cultural living room,’ departs from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, taking you across nearly 15,000 kilometers deep into the Tianshan Mountains, the Pamir Plateau, and the Tarim Basin. This is not just a sightseeing trip but a deep immersive journey blending Hunan cultural elements, age-friendly design, and comfortable travel services.
🌄 Route and Destination Highlights
The ‘Xiaoxiang’ special train focuses on a full loop of Northern and Southern Xinjiang, covering key areas like Hami, Urumqi, Kanas, Yili, Kashgar, and Korla, connecting famous scenic spots such as Tianchi Lake, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Bayinbuluke, Kanas Lake, Hemu Ancient Village, Lop Nur Village, and Kashgar Old City. The itinerary balances natural wonders and cultural experiences, featuring the vastness of Yadan landforms, the clarity of plateau lakes, the expansiveness of prairie pastures, and the vibrant life of ancient city streets.
