人民网北京3月25日电 (记者王连香)据中国铁路成都局消息，3月23日，Y978/975次“熊猫专列·安逸号”旅游列车从四川广元站驶出，开往贵州安顺站，正式开启为期5日的春日赏花之旅。

据介绍，该趟旅游列车将途经百花兴义、万峰林、阳光谷、平坝万亩樱花园等地，旅客不仅能体验布依族的民俗风情，观看数十条瀑布从崖顶飞泻而下，还能深度体验油菜花海，畅游“中国最美樱花秘境”，在旅途中寻找春天的美好和快乐。同时，还可以品尝到苗家特色酸汤鱼火锅、布依族特色“簸箕宴”等特色美食和小吃，将春天的味道封存在记忆里。

This trip not only connects the most gorgeous spring colors in southwest Guizhou, but also opens a new model of silver tourism economy with the "suitable for the elderly +" service system. In order to ensure the smooth travel of elderly passengers, the Chengdu Bureau of China Railway has specially created a "silver special train" according to the actual situation of more elderly passengers, and customized the special train operation plan in detail, adopting the method of "doorstep connection travel + special train direct access to scenic spots", providing convenient travel for elderly passengers along the line, and effectively promoting the "travel rate" of elderly passengers.

"According to the travel characteristics of elderly passengers, we have equipped each carriage with a 'travel butler' to provide one-to-one services such as luggage handling and route consultation, and the dining car provides low-oil and low-salt foods such as green bamboo shoots and pork slices and three-color diced pork according to the eating habits of the elderly, and provides services such as booking meals and delivering meals to private rooms." Wang Lei, the conductor of the tourist team of Chengdu passenger section, introduced that in order to enrich the journey time of elderly passengers, the team also organized and carried out paper-cutting activities, spring song parties, Sichuan opera face changing and other cultural and interactive programs in the multi-functional carriage, which were very popular with passengers.

In view of the characteristics of the needs of elderly passengers, Sichuan Chengdu Railway International Business Travel Group Co., Ltd. has carried out age-appropriate renovation of facilities such as train compartments, shower room guardrails and foldable chairs and stools, so as to make it more convenient for elderly passengers to wash and rest on the train. At the same time, anti-slip handrails, emergency callers, anti-slip floor mats, etc. have been added to provide a strong guarantee for the safety of elderly passengers.

"My wife and I have not been to Anshun, this time the train drove directly to the door to take us to play, no need to go to Chengdu back and forth, very convenient, now is the season of spring flowers, just meet with friends to take the train out, enjoy the natural scenery." Ms. Zeng, who just retired last year, said with a smile.

In the next step, China Railway Chengdu Bureau will combine the travel characteristics of elderly passengers, segment market demand, customize theme tourism groups according to seasonal changes and passenger group needs, and continuously improve the comfort and convenience of elderly passengers from the aspects of train facility upgrades, service quality optimization, and rich itineraries.
