One subway line, 5 cultures on view
Print Edition
A BRICS-themed subway train started test operations on Friday in the southeastern city of Xiamen. The train has six carriages, including five carriages representing different cultures of the BRICS bloc comprising China, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, and India.
The Chinese carriage is red and displays icons such as the Great Wall and Tian鈥檃nmen Square, while the Brazilian carriage is green and decorated with images of footballs and football stars.
The Russian carriage shows off the country鈥檚 ballet and matryoshka dolls, while the South African carriage displays pictures of diamonds. The Indian carriage depicts elephants and yoga. The sixth carriage combines cultural elements from all five BRICS countries.
The train has already proved popular among Xiamen residents. Zhang Chunqing, who is from Xiamen, said the train鈥檚 design represents the cultures of the countries. The 2017 BRICS Summit was held in Xiamen last month.
The Xiamen Subway Line 1 launched another three themed trains during its test operations.
Xiamen started construction on the subway line in April 2014 and it will begin a trial run at the end of 2017.
