Hey adventurers! Have you ever dreamed of going on an epic road trip but felt worried about the long drive? Well, in the Chinese mainland, there’s a cool new train service that makes it super easy! π
Imagine this: You send your car on a special train to your holiday spot, and you travel there by plane or passenger train. When you arrive, your car is waiting for you, ready to hit the road! How awesome is that?
Meet Ms. Zhang Rui from Chongqing. She planned a fun road trip to Lhasa with her child. But driving over 2,000 kilometers (that’s like going from New York to Miami!) would be super tiring and tough. π
Thanks to the new car transport service, Ms. Zhang sent her car on the train for about 4,400 yuan (around $616). This saved her over 40% on fuel, tolls, and hotel costs! Plus, she didn’t have to spend five days driving. She and her child traveled comfortably and met up with their car in Lhasa. π
Here’s how it works: Friendly railway staff check your car to make sure everything’s safe. Then, they load it onto a special train headed to your destination. This service runs twice a week and takes about six to eight days. They’re offering it from places like Chongqing, Chengdu, Beijing, and Shanghai too!
Now, families can plan exciting road trips without worrying about long drives or tough roads. It’s like sending your car on vacation ahead of you! Would you try this on your next adventure? πβ¨
