In-depth experience of the “Xiaoxiang”:Ride the tourist train across most of China and unlock the many kinds of romance in Xinjiang
Train highlights:Why does this tourist train deserve to be called a “mobile travel butler”?
If ordinary trains are “tools for getting from place to place,” then the “Xiaoxiang” is more like a “mobile travel butler”—with “panoramic in-depth travel” at its core, it is designed specifically for travelers who want to “experience all of Xinjiang in one trip.” Newly upgraded in 2026, the train adopts a combined model of “tourist train + local boutique hotels”:Spend the day immersed in sightseeing at attractions, and at night take the tourist train to the next stop, saving the fatigue of long-distance bus rides. Luggage stays on the tourist train the whole time, so there is no need to repeatedly move luggage, truly achieving “travel light.”
The train’s positioning focuses on “slow pace and rich experience”:The 18-day itinerary covers the three major regions of eastern, southern, and northern Xinjiang, from the yardang landforms of Hami to the lakes and mountains of Kanas, from the grasslands and flower seas of Ili to the old-city life of Kashgar. Each day, 1-2 core attractions are recommended, with ample time left for photos, rest, and in-depth sightseeing. Even more thoughtful, the train is equipped with an accompanying doctor and professional guides to handle emergencies throughout the trip, making it especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly tourists or families with children.
