Though high-speed trains have become popular in China, some older, slower trains are still running to serve passengers with different needs.

Since they began operating in November 2013, two old-fashioned, green-colored slow trains running between Tonghua, Jilin province, and Dandong, Liaoning province, have become known as the "trains of happiness" and have won heaps of praise from residents along the route.

The 321-kilometer rail line has 11 stops, most of which are located in rural areas with less-developed road systems. The trains have become residents' preferred choice for daily travel or going out to sell their agricultural produce.

"Slow and inexpensive trains are reserved for the convenience of passengers," said conductor Jin Mingshuo. "We have also expanded service while trying to keep fares low and service quality high."
