Known as the "trains to spring", the trains of the Beijing Suburban Railway Line S2 would take us to the flower sea every spring.

The trains depart from Huangtudian Station, stop by Nankou, Badaling and Kangzhuang stations, and finally arrive at Yanqing or Shacheng Station (the latter is located in Huailai County, Hebei Province). Winding through mountains and an expanse of flowers, these trains are nicknamed the "trains to spring".

The trains' exterior has been repainted this year, with massive and real-life images of the flower fields pasted on the bodies of some of the trains. Let's find out where they are!
