🚄 New Southern Express Xiaoxiang:An 18-day panoramic journey through the Western Regions across mountains and rivers — the real experience begins with “peace of mind from the moment you board”
In an era of fast-paced travel, more and more people long to “slow down” — no need to catch early flights, no need to drag luggage between hotels, and no need to be exhausted from self-driving. In 2026, the New Southern Express · Xiaoxiang tourism special train, as a “mobile star-rated hotel,” has become an ideal choice for in-depth tours of Xinjiang. Many Hunan tourists board nearby from Changsha, Zhuzhou, or Guangzhou, embarking on a dream journey from the water towns of Jiangnan all the way to the Pamir Plateau. Their common feedback is: “It’s not just a quick glance at the sights, but truly living inside the scenery.”
🌄 Route Highlights:One train crossing China’s geographical tiers, with a panoramic view of Western Regions scenery
The Xiaoxiang is not an ordinary train, but a high-quality tourism special train customized for in-depth tours across all of Xinjiang. It departs from Guangzhou Baiyun Station, heading north and then west, passing through Central China and the Northwest, and finally deep into the heart of Xinjiang, covering the three major regions of Eastern, Northern, and Southern Xinjiang.
The 2026 itinerary has been fully upgraded, connecting iconic destinations such as Kanas Lake, Hemu Ancient Village, Sayram Lake, Nalati Grassland, Duku Highway, Pamir Plateau, and Kashgar Old City, covering 12 5A-rated scenic areas and several hidden gems. The train adopts a model of “getting off to sightsee during the day and returning to the train to rest at night,” with luggage staying put throughout the journey, truly achieving “the train moves with you, and the scenery follows your heart.”
It is worth mentioning that the train carriages incorporate Hunan cultural elements — Xiang embroidery patterns and phoenix motifs adorn the interiors, and there are also intangible cultural heritage handicraft experience areas and Hunan cuisine tasting stations, making the journey both majestic with Western Regions scenery and warm with hometown charm.
