The train had a special theme carriage with posters and pictures showing the breathtaking landscapes of Bama Yao autonomous county. Passengers in the carriage could well have felt as if they were actually traveling through the picturesque scenery of Bama.

Yao ethnic girls showed their national customs and folk culture by dancing and singing, which was widely appreciated.

The themed HSR will help boost the tourism industry and bring new economic opportunities to Bama. Yao ethnic girls show passengers the Bama mascot. [Photo by Wei Jifang /hcwang.cn]
