On June 29, 2024, the Lanwu section of the Lanzhang high-speed railway was officially put into operation. On the first C9832 train from Wuwei East Station to Lanzhou West Railway Station, an appointment about high-speed rail and the Silk Road, culture and journey are being staged here.
Walking out of the entrance of Wuwei East Station, the bright white "Harmony" EMU is ready to go, and the train crews of the Lanzhou passenger section are also wearing the costumes of Gansu's representative ethnic minorities and warmly welcome the train on the platform. The group photo frame with strong Gansu symbols such as "copper galloping horse", "Lanzhou waterwheel" and "Huazang Temple" and the "creative route map of the Lanwu section of the Lanzhang high-speed railway" printed on the giant painting scroll have become a popular spot for passengers to check in and take a group photo surrounded by flight attendants wearing ethnic minority costumes.
At 10:50, the C9832 train departed from Wuwei East Station, and the big red Chinese knots symbolizing unity, happiness and peace were hung on both sides of the carriages, and the windows were pasted with window stickers with unique folk customs, which was full of joy and joy. In car 4, where the event was held, flowers were blooming with vine-like flowers wrapped around the luggage racks, and delicate flower baskets hung on both sides of the windows. Walking into the carriage, it is like walking into a large moving garden, and passengers have taken out their mobile phones to take photos with the flowers to capture the beautiful moments of the new line.
"If Gansu is compared to the jade Ruyi placed in the northwest of the motherland, then the various ethnic groups carried by Gansu are the most precious Huazhu inlaid on it." Under the guidance of the host, the passengers guessed the nationality they represented according to the dance moves and costume characteristics of the train crew. At the same time, during the activities of the first train, the crew also set up a Hanfu experience area, a face painting area and a cultural check-in area for passengers. Passengers can change into Hanfu according to their preferences, have a "time travel" with the "historical figures" in the carriage, or have a unique face painting under the brush of the versatile flight attendant lady, adding a joyful atmosphere to the event.
To say that the most commemorative value in this train launch event, the "privately customized" exquisite folding fan and the first related cultural and creative products, there must be a place. The incarnation of the train crew incarnated as a painter inscribed their favorite poems and painted favorite pictures for passengers on the fan surface of the exquisite folding fan and round fan customized for the opening and operation of the Lanwu section of the Lanzhang high-speed railway, and presented them to passengers as event gifts. The table mat printed with the "Lanwu section of the Lanzhang high-speed railway" and the mobile phone lanyard printed with the elements of Gansu cultural tourism and high-speed rail combine practicality and beauty, and become a commemoration of the beautiful moment of the opening and operation of the Lanwu section of the Lanzhang high-speed railway.
