All aboard! A Shifang panda-themed train departed Chengduxi Railway Station this Friday, setting its sights on Qingdao. This unique train is adorned with giant panda images both inside and out, drawing inspiration from the bronze relics discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins.
The train is equipped with a variety of amenities, including a karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong room, comfortably accommodating over 400 passengers. Onboard \"Panda Butlers\" offer one-stop services, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable journey for all travelers. To keep the experience vibrant, themed activities such as Sichuan Opera and performances featuring the guzheng, a traditional Chinese plucked instrument, are regularly staged in the cabins.
Since its launch on March 28, 2021, the panda-themed tourist train has become China's first of its kind, traveling to numerous cities across the country. This initiative has effectively driven the development of local cultural and tourism industries, offering passengers a blend of entertainment and cultural immersion as they traverse the scenic routes between Chengdu and Qingdao.
