Promising future

China's railway operator has made a great effort to expand the service, which is undergoing a three-year development plan, with over 100 premium tourism routes and 160 elderly-friendly trains scheduled to be launched by 2027, with an annual operation of more than 2,500 tourist trains.

"Now that I'm retired, I can finally slow down and see the world," said a 61-year-old passenger surnamed Mu, a former university professor, enjoying his journey in the carriage.
