A pleasant experience for all

At about 8 pm on Jan 30, attendants on the Z5 collected dirty plates, cleaned tables and floors, and brought toys and books to set up the temporary kids' corner in the dining car.

At the same time, children eagerly awaited the opening of the zone, with some rushing to check the toys.

As soon as train conductor Dong announced the opening of the children's corner, kids dashed to the tables. Children and parents crowded the dining car, chatting, laughing, taking photos and sharing their travel experiences.

Each table was filled with excited children engaging in various activities such as paper-cutting, coloring books, building blocks, reading books and playing with dolls.

A mother surnamed Dai said her daughter greatly enjoyed the children's corner.

The mother was traveling with her 4-year-old and her mother-in-law from Beijing to Nanning to spend the Spring Festival there.

They were informed by an attendant about the activity when they boarded the train.

"She was so excited and interested in the activity that she kept asking me to take her to check if it had started," the mother said.

"It is the first train trip for my daughter, and it (the children's corner) is beyond my expectation, a true surprise," she said.

At the corner, the girl was carefully coloring a book while Dai was taking photos to capture her first train ride.
