A customized spring trip for grandparents! Two ＂Silver Hair＂ Inter-provincial Tourism Trains in Shaanxi Province

Western Network News (Reporter Chen Jiaxin correspondent Yu Hai Yang Tao) On March 18, two Y172 and Y78 tourist trains loaded with more than 1,700 tourists left Xi ‘an Station, all the way south, heading for Zhanjiang and Taizhou respectively, to start a wonderful spring trip. This is the first time that China Railway Xi ‘an Bureau Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as Xi ‘an Railway Bureau for short) has opened a "silver hair" inter-provincial tourist train this year, and it is also the first time that Shaanxi Railway has opened two trips on the same day.

In 2024, Shaanxi Railway opened its first inter-provincial "Silver Hair" special train.

In order to help the "silver hair" economic growth and continuously enrich the spare time life of the elderly, Xi ‘an Railway Bureau has further expanded the tourism resources outside the province on the basis of the "silver hair" tourism special train from Xi ‘an to Tongchuan and Yaozhou in the early stage, and provided passenger transport products that meet the needs of the elderly. It is worth noting that the "Silver Hair" inter-provincial tourist train has launched different tourist routes based on the city’s scenic features and surrounding extended scenic spots on the basis of the original "car with people, night tour and scenic parking", and tourists can choose to play according to their preferences.

The special tourist train in Zhanjiang direction includes three tourist routes A, B and C, namely, witnessing Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao and traveling around South China, walking in Bama and living for 99 years, and panoramic view of Guangdong and southern Fujian customs, which can not only enjoy the scenery and explore the secrets, but also "buy in buy buy" to meet the rich travel needs of tourists to the maximum extent. The special tourist train in Taizhou direction includes many natural tourist attractions, such as Qianduo Scenic Area, Yingtaozhu Sakura Garden in Taihu Lake, Liyuan Garden, etc., so that tourists can enjoy flowers and boating in March in Yangchun and enjoy the beautiful scenery in spring.

Elderly tourists ride in an orderly manner.

In order to improve the travel experience of elderly tourists, Xi ‘an Railway Bureau has arranged a special person to provide bus guidance service, equipped with full-time tour guides, and divided teams according to carriages to achieve "one car and one guide", so that passengers can "have a good time and swim with confidence". In addition, the reporter learned that in March, Xi ‘an Railway Bureau will also run tourist trains in popular directions such as Xi ‘an to Huangshan and Enshi, which will help the cultural tourism market continue to heat up.

In the next step, Xi ‘an Railway Bureau will also dig deep into tourism resources and enrich tourism products according to the seasonal characteristics of spring, summer, autumn and winter. On the basis of running the original tourist trains in the province, it will select high-quality scenic spots in various places and carefully design inter-provincial tourist routes, so that traveling by train and by special train will become a new fashion for tourism.
