Tourist train offers unique travel experience

To ensure the safe and smooth operation of the chartered train, staff from Liupanshui Railway Station also made advance preparations.

They actively optimized passenger boarding and set up security check zones, green channels and special waiting areas.

Additional personnel were posted at key locations such as waiting halls, passages and platforms to provide guidance, inspect tickets, request maintenance and ensure the safety and orderly travel of passengers.

"The chartered train is also a good way to enhance the reputation of our city," said Shu Jiangying, a staff member of the station. "As tourists travel outside, they can promote our pleasant, comfortable climate to those who are looking for a favorite summer tourist destination."

In addition to Sichuan cuisine, passengers on the train enjoyed various local delicacies, afternoon tea and cocktail parties. There is also a "Panda Post Office "on the train, where passengers can collect special commemorative stamps and send postcards.

The journey included an international destination, with the passengers getting off the train at one point and onto a boat that transports them from Weihai, Shandong, to Incheon, South Korea.

While there, travelers visited popular attractions, including Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Presidential Blue House in Seoul, and participated in a Chinese and Korean cultural exchange gala where people from both countries sang and danced together.

In recent years, the China Railway Chengdu Group has identified popular tourist destinations for which there is a high demand for special train services. The group has launched operations in destinations such as the Xinjiang Uygur and Inner Mongolia autonomous regions, Hong Kong and Macao.

Tourist trains have provided a new mode of travel for people who want to explore beautiful landscapes both domestically and internationally, according to the group.

Going forward, the group aims to leverage its unique tourism resources along the Southwest Railway line to operate more tourist trains suitable for different demographics and routes to meet the diverse needs of passengers. At the same time, the group will help promote the high-quality development and promotion of its cultural and tourism resources, contributing to the comprehensive improvement and revitalization of the cultural and tourism industry, it said.
