A high-speed train, with the theme of "Beautiful Lishui, Poetic Garden", departed Shanghai and traveled to Beijing on March 31.

The train, showcasing the natural landscapes and cultural icons of Lishui, Zhejiang province with posters, paintings, as well as videos, was sponsored by the Lishui government to promote the city's culture and tourism to more people. It went through major cities in the northern part of China, including Beijing, Tianjin, and Jinan in Shandong province.

Presents featuring Lishui characteristics were given to passengers on the train, while interactive activities were also organized on the train ride.

In addition to the cities in northern China, the Lishui-themed train will also travel between economically-advanced regions in Shanghai, as well as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces in the following days, with the aim of attracting people to visit the city.
