On the bus, you can sing karaoke, enjoy high-spirited singing with friends, and be taken to experience Jinjiang’s unique cultural and tourist attractions, savoring the rich Minnan culture. These buses can also popularize traffic safety knowledge among children, acting as safety promoters, and have become new internet-famous check-in spots.

The most popular “ding-ding” trolleybuses and double-decker buses in Jinjiang have become the top internet sensations of the city’s public transport. During the May Day holiday, the “ding-ding” trolleybuses were transformed into “Rainbow Buses,” offering passengers free access to new ways to enjoy Jinjiang’s coastal areas.

During the May Day holiday, the “ding-ding” trolleybuses were transformed into “Rainbow Buses,” offering passengers free access to new ways to enjoy Jinjiang’s coastal areas.

During an interview with Jinjiang Public Transport by Commercial Vehicle News Media, it was common to see citizens and tourists paying attention to the passing “ding-ding” trolleybuses and double-decker buses. Many tourists took out their mobile phones to take photos, and some even wanted to get on the buses specifically to have a look.

Since the launch of the retro “ding-ding” trolleybuses and double-decker buses by Jinjiang Public Transport Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jinjiang Public Transport) before this year’s Spring Festival, the company’s Operation Department Manager, Chen Qiuhong, has been receiving a continuous stream of phone calls, all inquiring about the operation schedule and the availability of buses, which shows the high level of attention they have received.

The integration of public transport and cultural tourism has given Jinjiang Public Transport a unique feature in the cultural tourism boom and put it ahead in Fujian Province. Data shows that Jinjiang’s innovative “cultural tourism experience, hub evacuation, event support, and corporate commuting” four-in-one customized bus model has increased the average daily capacity utilization by 40%, with a citizen travel satisfaction rate of 90%, and the peak period main road bus share has jumped from 18% to 35%.

When talking about the initial intention of launching the “ding-ding” trolleybuses and double-decker buses, Chen Qiuhong told the Commercial Vehicle News reporter that among many brands bidding, the Golden Dragon retro “ding-ding” trolleybuses and double-decker buses stood out, mainly due to a deep consideration of Jinjiang’s cultural tourism development needs: First, the vehicle design is highly integrated with local characteristics. The “ding-ding” trolleybuses cleverly incorporate Minnan architectural elements such as swallowtail ridges and red brick walls, matching the city’s style of “red brick ancient houses.” The double-decker buses offer a high vantage point for sightseeing, allowing tourists to closely overlook the charming street scenes that blend the old and new in Jinjiang. The in-vehicle audio-visual system and leather seats provide a travel choice for group tours and study tours. Second, the detail configuration shows humanistic care. The vehicles are equipped with standard barrier-free boarding devices, USB charging ports, and other practical functions, which enable citizens and tourists to truly feel the convenience and novelty of public transport services, effectively enhancing the attractiveness of public transport.

The attractiveness of public transport is crucial for its development. When young people and children do not or rarely take buses, the development of the bus industry will lack momentum. The Minnan people, with the spirit of “not losing face in competition and winning through hard work,” have boldly experimented with improving the quality and efficiency of public transport. They have launched characteristic tourism routes and achieved cross-border integration, condensing Minnan culture, transportation hubs, popular scenic spots, and internet-famous check-in points into one vehicle, one route, and one travel experience. This has not only attracted many young people to take buses but also boosted the development of Jinjiang’s cultural tourism economy.

This is also inseparable from the efforts of Golden Dragon Buses. Buses are not only means of transportation but also moving cultural carriers. In creating the retro “ding-ding” trolleybuses and double-decker buses, Golden Dragon has many ingenious ideas in vehicle styling design, livery, and interior decoration, integrating Jinjiang’s unique culture into them and considering the preferences and trends of young people. In addition to first-level low entrances and age-friendly devices, the humanized and comfortable configurations have won unanimous praise from public transport companies and passengers. “Golden Dragon buses are trustworthy,” “Golden Dragon is serious about doing things, products, and services.”
