The upgraded train, once a conventional green-skinned model, began trial operation during this year's May Day holiday.

Its romantic purple body is eye-catching, painted with ethnic patterns and famous Guizhou scenic spots such as Qingyan Ancient Town, Huangguoshu Waterfall, and Xijiang Qianhu Miao village.

Its interior incorporates Guizhou's landscapes and ethnic cultures, and is equipped with soft sleeper, entertainment, and sightseeing carriages.

This purple "mobile homestay" is reshaping people's impressions of and experiences with traditional green trains.

Starting from this year's National Day holiday, the train runs every weekend, departing from Guiyang, stopping at Zunyi, Chongqingxi, Chengduxi, Emei, and Xichangxi, and terminating at Panzhihuanan Railway Station.

This route connects dozens of high-quality cultural and tourism resources in Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, making it suitable for weekend trips and short- to medium-distance travel.
