Training to capture a perfect image
In early January, China Railway Harbin Group started operating its first photography-themed train, which features two specially decorated carriages and a specialist team of staff to help carry out the photoshoots. PHOTO PROVIDED TO CHINA DAILY Train attendant Su Ruiqi takes on the role of a makeup artist, along with two other young colleagues, who take turns assisting on the photography-themed train when they're off-duty. "With the increasing popularity of ice and snow tourism, I now have to do makeup for at least six or seven passengers every day," said Su. "We have set up several stamping points on the train, displaying decorations with regional ice and snow characteristics and cultural elements," said Zhang Yan, Party secretary of the Beijing-Harbin fleet.
