On July 7, 918 middle school students embarked on a six-day educational trip to Xi'an in Shaanxi province aboard the Y83 "Qilu Star" special study tour train from Taishan Station in Tai'an, Shandong province.

This educational tour offers a chance to explore the Terracotta Warriors and museums through hands-on activities. Along the way, children can create their own musical compositions and poems, providing them with a unique cultural experience of Xi'an's thousand-year-old melodies.

The China Railway Jinan Group has added a new operation of the "Qilu Star" tourist train by integrating natural landscapes, regional culture, and historical heritage, allowing for a new model of educational tourism with a focus on in-depth study and travel.

The "mobile classroom" allows children to learn and gain insights while on the move.
