ZHENYUAN, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) — The pair of "slow trains" No. 5640 and No. 5639 run in Guizhou Province between Yuping Dong Autonomous County of Tongren City and Guizhou's 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 337-km route.

To facilitate locals' preparations for the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year, a temporary fair has recently been held on the trains for passengers to purchase celebratory merchandise.
