A "village gala" was held on the train No. 5640 running on the Guiyang-Yuping railway on Saturday, during which folk customs and specialty food of Miao and Dong ethnic groups were displayed for passengers along the way.
The pair of "slow trains" No. 5640 and No. 5639 run in Guizhou Province between Yuping Dong Autonomous County of Tongren City and provincial capital Guiyang City. The trains pass through several townships in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, connecting more than 100 ethnic minority villages along the route.
Temporary fairs are also held aboard the trains where passengers can purchase goods in preparation for the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year.
