高铁旅游 (gaotie lvyou): High-speed train trip

(China Daily) Updated: 2015-08-11 08:02

In association with Xinhuanet, the China Railway Corporation has launched a "high-speed train travelogue" program for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, which are peak travel periods, to promote its new "high-speed train travel" campaign.

The rapid development of high-speed trains has changed people's holidays. In the past ordinary Chinese people could only travel during the long Golden Week vacations, but now people are also using the shorter holidays for vacations. Moreover, several new high-speed lines such as Zhengzhou to Jiaozuo in Henan province, Central China, and Hefei in Anhui province to Fuzhou in Fujian province, East China, which came into operation in June, have abundant places of interest along the routes.

The promotion of high-speed rail trips shows the railway corporation is making the transition to a more comprehensive service provider. As public services become increasingly diversified and personalized, railway services need to keep pace with social development and the changes in people's lifestyles. The high-speed train travel campaign is a good step toward further optimizing the use of the railways and boosting tourism development.
