“The Xiaoxiang号 departs from Guangzhou Baiyun Station in the evening, crossing the Central Plains and the Hexi Corridor, going deep into the Tianshan Mountains, covering the three major regions of Eastern, Northern, and Southern Xinjiang.

The train adopts a “travel at night, sightsee by day” model—spending the day exploring core attractions in depth, and at night either resting on the special train’s sleeper berths or staying at local boutique hotels.
