Since the start of this year's Spring Festival travel rush, the relevant departments have organized a "New Year Goods Market" on the train to facilitate the locals along the route in purchasing New Year goods. In the market carriage, locals could not only buy New Year's goods but also sell their home-grown fruits and vegetables, poultry, and cured meat products. The goods were in such high demand that they often sold out quickly to passengers.
