On Tuesday, the Culture and Tourism and Commerce ministries, along with China State Railway Group Co., issued a guideline action plan to launch trains specifically designed for retiree tourists. A nationwide “silver tourist train” network featuring “diversified tourist routes, a wide range of tourism themes and comprehensive services” will be built by 2027, the document said.
China last year unveiled a plan for a silver economy estimated to be worth 30 trillion yuan ($4.1 trillion) in the next decade, catering to a rapidly-aging population needing tailored services from meal delivery to nursing homes and entertainment options.

They’ll have more “silver trains” than the US has… trains.
