In terms of carriages, most special trains are equipped with 4-person or 2-person compartments, some with bathrooms, clean linens, carpeted corridors, and feature dining cars and multi-functional leisure carriages (including reading areas, KTV, and bar areas) to meet dining and social needs during the journey. Additionally, the trains usually have accompanying guides, and some schedules include on-board doctors, optimizing services for the elderly, such as enlarged signs, added handrails, and light, health-oriented meals.
