What's the difference between a tourist train starting with Y and other trains?

Trains starting with the word Y are temporary tourist trains, mainly for tourism. Passenger trains running between the station where the tourist resort is located and large and medium-sized cities.

Compared with ordinary trains, tourist special trains generally use soft sleeper boxes for two to four people, and the trains are equipped with independent toilets, restaurants, bars and other facilities, which is equivalent to a mobile hotel.

At present, only a few trains use this number, among which Y 1-Y498 is an inter-bureau train and Y50 1-Y998 is an in-pipe train.
