CCTV News: As the 40-day 2025 Spring Festival travel rush officially kicked off on January 14, some unique trains have also set off one after another. From the "folk custom" travel photography special train in Xue Township, Northeast China to the "intangible cultural heritage" experience train in Shu, and then to the "Train New Year's Freight Festival" special train in the northwest desert full of Xinjiang special products, special trains from various places carried passengers back home together to start the Spring Festival travel journey.
It is the peak season for ice and snow tourism. What is being held on the K5197 train from Harbin to Yabulinan is a folk fashion show. Passengers can change into Chinese style and folk styles and take a show on the train to take pictures.
On the G828 train from north Xi'an to west Kowloon, Hong Kong, train staff on the Xi'an passenger section used Chinese knots, Fu characters, Spring Festival couplets and other decorations to create a strong Spring Festival atmosphere on the incoming trains.
The 2025 Spring Festival travel rush is also the first Spring Festival travel rush after the successful application for the Spring Festival. On the first day of the Spring Festival travel rush, on the D5123 train from Yilong, Sichuan to Nanchong, a "intangible cultural heritage" interactive experience activity represented by paper cutting, seal carving and calligraphy was carried out in the carriage. Intangible cultural heritage inheritors create paper-cut works with tourists, and small and exquisite paper-cut works were born under the scissors of passengers.
Along the Spring Festival travel journey, a unique "Train New Year's Day" is being held on the 7556 ordinary train from Urumqi to Hotan in the northwest desert.
In addition to providing daily passenger transport services, local farmers can also go to the big market on the train. Fig jam, walnut handicrafts and other special agricultural products in southern Xinjiang are sold in large quantities. In order to further help fellow villagers broaden the sales of agricultural products, this train also launched a live online broadcast on the first day of the Spring Festival travel rush.
