"Travel Hunan by High-speed Rail" 2026 Hunan cultural tourism autumn promotion activity launched at Changsha South Railway Station

China News Service, Changsha, September 15th (Reporter Deng Xia) On September 15th, the 2026 Hunan cultural tourism autumn promotion activity "Traveling Hunan by High-speed Rail" was launched at Changsha South Railway Station. From now until September 24, 14 cities and prefectures in Hunan will take turns to promote cultural tourism here, turning the waiting hall into a "cultural tourism living room" to deliver autumn surprises and benefits to travelers traveling from north to south.

At the event site, Hunan-specific cultural performances and cultural tourism promotions alternated. The Hunan Provincial Song and Dance Theater presented programs such as "Chili Pepper Song" and "I'll Sing This Hunan to You", which attracted many passing tourists to stop and watch; Changde Silk String's "Meet in Hunan" showed the charm of national intangible cultural heritage with its graceful tunes. There was also a draw at the event to give away 10 "Xiangyue Code" Hunan tourism annual passes, which can be used to visit 70 scenic spots in Hunan.

As Hunan's high-speed rail network continues to intensify, the Zhangji-Huaihua High-speed Railway, Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway, Huai-Shaoxing-Hengzhou Railway and other lines connect Hunan's famous mountains and ancient cities, opening up a "transportation artery" for the development of the cultural tourism industry. The 2026 Hunan autumn boutique travel route was promoted at the event. The line covers the five high-speed railway lines of Beijing-Guangzhou, Shanghai-Kunming, Zhangjihuai, Hengliu, and Chongqing-Changsha, and connects popular autumn check-in spots in 14 cities and states in Hunan, including Zhuzhou Yanling Colorful Valley, Loudi Ziquejie Rice Terraces, Zhangjiajie Golden Whip Creek, Yongzhou Tongzi Ao Ginkgo, and Yiyang Datong Lake, providing tourists with diverse autumn travel options.

The "Southern Train" series of railway cultural tourism products created by Hunan Cultural, Sports and Tourism Group and Guangzhou Railway Group were also promoted at the scene. This series includes three tourist trains with differentiated positioning: Baiyun, Xiaoxiang and Hongmian, creating a new mobile cultural tourism space integrating transportation, accommodation, culture and leisure. Changsha South Railway Station also introduced the "Invitation with One Ticket" service, which covers convenient services such as time-based fixed-term tickets, green channels, dedicated account managers, light travel, and travel-time tickets, allowing passengers to travel around Hunan with one ticket.

"What is the most representative landscape in Zhangjiajie?" "Which city and state is the Phoenix Ancient City in?" NPCs dressed in traditional costumes pushed a small float and randomly searched for "predestined travelers" in the waiting hall to ask and answer questions. Passengers who answer the questions correctly will receive a gift package from Hunan Culture and Tourism Fans.

It is reported that in the next 10 days, 14 cities and states in Hunan will take turns to appear at Changsha South Railway Station, bringing folk performances, cultural and creative exhibitions, scenic route promotions and exclusive preferential policies, so that passengers can appreciate the strange peaks of Zhangjiajie, the ancient city of Fenghuang, the autumn water of Dongting Lake, and the sea of ​​clouds in Xuefeng Mountain while waiting for the train.

This event is hosted by the Hunan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd., and is co-organized by the cultural and tourism departments of 14 cities and states in Hunan and Changsha South Railway Station. This autumn, taking the high-speed rail to Hunan will not only provide you with beautiful mountains and rivers, but also provide you with real discounts and enthusiasm.
