The "Lijiang" Shanghai-Kunming Cultural Tourism Train is filled with depictions of natural and cultural landscapes from the Lijiang area, including the Old Town of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain, Lugu Lake and Laojun Mountain.

A promotional film about Lijiang is played on the train, and train attendants wearing Naxi costumes greet passengers with smiles.

The Shanghai-Kunming Cultural Tourism Train serves as an innovative marketing strategy for Lijiang to attract more tourists.
