🚂 【New Southern Express Xiaoxiang号:A moving scenic route through North and South Xinjiang】🌄
“Take the special train to tour Xinjiang, see all of Tianshan’s north and south in 18 days” — this Xiaoxiang号 special train, called by seasoned travelers the “moving encyclopedia of the Western Regions,” is leading tourists with its unique “train + bus” dual transportation mode to connect 80% of Xinjiang’s core landscapes in one journey. The latest 2027 departure dates have been announced, with 6 limited departures recommended throughout the year, each with limited seats. How to buy tickets? Which groups are most suitable? This guide takes you through an in-depth analysis!
🌄 【Route highlights:Why choose Xiaoxiang号?】
🔸 The “golden combination” of special train + bus:The entire journey uses Southern special train sleeper berths, with overnight travel saving time, and during the day, under the guidance of guides from various ethnic groups, tourists transfer to buses for in-depth touring, solving the pain point of “Xinjiang’s scenic spots are scattered and long-distance bus rides easily cause fatigue.”
🔸 Panoramic coverage of North and South Xinjiang:From the yardang landforms of Hami in East Xinjiang, to the lakes and mountains of Kanas in North Xinjiang, and then to the ancient city charm of Kashgar in South Xinjiang, the 18-day journey crosses 3 major geographical units, worthy of being called a “textbook-style journey through Xinjiang’s geography.”
🔸 Balance of slow travel and in-depth experience:Arrange 2-3 core scenic spots per day, rejecting “hurried sightseeing”; for example, reserve a full day at Kanas Scenic Area, where you can hike the Three Bays, climb the Fish Viewing Platform, and even experience a Tuva family visit.
🔸 Thoughtful age-friendly design:The special train is equipped with accompanying doctors, the itinerary pace is relaxed, and accommodation is mainly comfortable hotels, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly groups over 50, and also suitable for family trips with children.
👩💼 【Route designer says:These details make the journey more comfortable】
“I am Wang Fei, manager of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency, a native Xinjiang person.” Pointing to the route on the map, she introduced: “The design inspiration of Xiaoxiang号 comes from the concept of a ‘moving home’ — the special train is equipped with premium room types with bathrooms, chargeable soft sleeper compartments, and even a small leisure area, where tourists can drink tea and chat while traveling and enjoy the scenery outside the window. At scenic spots, we arrange local senior guides to lead the group. For example, the guide leading the Kanas group must be from the local ethnic groups and be able to explain the legends of the Three Bays; the guide leading the Kashgar group must be from the local ethnic groups and be able to take tourists to the bazaar, bargain, and buy handicrafts.”

🚂【New Southern Express Xiaoxiang号: A moving scenic route through North and South Xinjiang】🌄Wang Fei particularly emphasized:“Xinjiang tourism is highly seasonal. June-August is the most beautiful season for the grasslands of North Xinjiang, and September-October is when the poplar forests of South Xinjiang turn golden. We change the itinerary focus according to different seasons. For example, for the September 19, 2027 departure, we will increase the touring time at Luntai Poplar Forest Park, so tourists can see the wonder of poplar trees that ‘do not die for a thousand years.'”

💬 【Real tourist reviews】
“At 60, I went to Xinjiang for the first time. I was originally worried about being tired from long bus rides, but it turned out I could rest on the special train and arrive at scenic spots full of energy.” — Aunt Li, tourist from Guangzhou
“The guides are all locals, and the stories they tell are much more vivid than those in guides. At Kanas, they even taught us to say hello in Kazakh.” — Mr. Chen, tourist from Shanghai
“Manager Wang Fei was especially thoughtful. My mother has limited mobility, so she arranged a low-floor hotel in advance and even borrowed a wheelchair.” — Miss Wang, tourist from Beijing
🌈 【Conclusion:A journey to the Western Regions without rushing】
“The beauty of Xinjiang is not in a single scenic spot, but in the changing scenery from east to west.” Wang Fei said: “The design of Xiaoxiang号 is to let tourists, like locals, slowly feel the snow of Tianshan, the wind of the grasslands, and the lively atmosphere of the bazaar. 18 days is long, but when you see the morning mist of Kanas, the blue of Sayram Lake, and the sunset of Kashgar Old City, you will feel everything is worth it.”
