In response to the increasingly diverse travel needs of passengers, the railway department is constantly optimizing personalized services. Starting from May 19, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway will pilot a bicycle service between Beijing North and Chongli Station. This means that cyclists can take their favorite bicycles directly to their destinations by high-speed rail.
Passengers can complete reservation and payment online through the 12306 client. In order to ensure driving safety and order in the carriages, the bicycles you carry need to go through station security inspection and be stored in designated areas after being packaged in a standardized manner. This move greatly facilitates those cycling enthusiasts.
According to the National Railway Group’s plan, the integration of railways and tourism will be further deepened in 2026. Relevant departments plan to operate more than 2,500 tourist trains throughout the year and carefully create more than 50 high-quality tourist routes, making the railway network a convenient link connecting major scenic spots.
In order to activate the tourism market, the railway department has also launched a series of measures to benefit the people. From the end of April to the end of June, 179 special tourist trains will be launched one after another, and railway tourism consumption vouchers will be issued from April to May to reduce the travel costs of passengers through tangible subsidies.
For the silver-haired group, the railway department has also prepared exclusive benefits. From May 30 to June 30, Chinese citizens aged 60 and above can enjoy discounted fares when taking some EMU trains during mid-week periods, in order to encourage more elderly people to travel during off-peak hours.
The implementation of this series of new policies aims to help more passengers realize their desire to travel to China by train. By continuously developing new service growth points, the railway sector not only injects vitality into the tourism economy, but also provides strong momentum for the development of the silver economy and sports and leisure industries.
