Train takes visitors to poverty-stricken Wenshan

A train carrying more than 200 passengers to Wenshan, Yunnan Province departed from Shanghai South Railway Station earlier this month.

It marks the first time a customized train has shuttled people from Shanghai to Wenshan for the sake of poverty relief. Passengers will spend 14 days in the scenic area.

Authorities in Jing’an assigned to assist with Wenshan’s development and the China Railway Shanghai Group designed the trip. Essential oil company doTERRA, whose regional headquarters are located in Jing’an, financed the rail service.

Yunnan has rich biodiversity and supplies doTERRA with fine materials, but some of the province’s remote areas aren’t well known and tourism helps boost local economies.
