🚂 Slow down to see the vastness of the Western Regions — a new perspective on the 2026 “Xiaoxiang Number” tourist train
In the fast-paced era of travel, more and more tourists are beginning to rethink: does a truly memorable journey have to be a “check-in rush”? In 2026, the “Xiaoxiang Number” tourist train sets off again with the concept of a “mobile comfortable home.” It does not pursue the number of attractions, but instead uses a relaxed pace of 18 days and 17 nights to take you from Lingnan, through the Central Plains and the Northwest, deep into the heart of Xinjiang. The entire journey requires no transfers and no repeated luggage handling, with integrated arrangements for meals, accommodation, transportation, and sightseeing — especially suitable for travelers who value journey quality and physical and mental relaxation.
🚄 Train positioning:Not a train, but a “home on the move”
The “Xiaoxiang Number” is a customized light-luxury tourist train created by Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service in conjunction with the railway department, positioned as a mid-to-high-end, all-age-friendly in-depth slow-travel product. The train adopts a model combining fixed-formation sleeper carriages with local boutique hotels, and is equipped throughout with professional attendants, tour guides, and medical service personnel to ensure continuity and comfort during the journey. Its core concept is “the train moves with the scenery, and the heart moves with the train.” Daily travel time is controlled at 6-8 hours, leaving ample time for in-depth exploration of destinations, truly achieving an immersive experience.
🛏 ️ Detailed cabin configuration:Four room types to suit diverse needs
All cabins are located in dedicated tourist carriages, combined with local boutique hotel accommodation in Xinjiang, achieving a seamless connection of “sleep on the train, play off the train.” According to the latest 2026 operational arrangements, the carriages are recently updated models with well-maintained facilities and relatively new service years.
