Last year, I accompanied my 76 year old grandfather on the Tianshan train and took the elderly on a special train. The most reassuring thing for me was the attention to detail! There are massage chairs on the train, and Grandpa can go for a massage and relax after playing at the scenic spots every day; I stayed in a double room with a bunk bed, without having to climb stairs. The hotel and special trains have hot water, making it convenient for my grandfather to drink medicine and soak his feet. The tour guide also carries commonly used medicines with him, such as motion sickness medicine and antihypertensive medication. Once, when my grandfather felt a little dizzy, the tour guide quickly brought warm water and a spare portable blood pressure monitor, which was very thoughtful and much more worry free than taking the elderly out on his own.
When I helped my 71 year old parents register for the Tianshan Express last year, I specifically asked about the free admission policy. Although there is no such thing as a 70 year old person being free, the ticket refund policy is quite practical. My parents and I can get a refund of 1400 yuan, which can cover some of the expenses. Taking the elderly on a special train is much more worry free than planning it yourself! Don't worry about transportation, the special train goes directly to the vicinity of the scenic spot, and there is a tourist bus to pick you up when you get off; The food also takes care of the taste of the elderly. There are Congee and eggs for breakfast. The dinner is less spicy and light. My parents have bad appetites. After telling the guide, the restaurant will help to make the food soft. You can go to the foot sports tourism special train to see their arrangements. They have written them in great detail, so you basically don't have to worry about anything else.
Are you asking about the free admission for 70 year old passengers on the Tianshan special train? I just took my 73 year old parents on the Tianshan Express last year. The 70 year old is not free of charge, but there is a discounted ticket refund. Those over 65 can get a refund of 700 yuan, which can also save some money. Taking the elderly on a special train is really hassle free! You don't have to check the route of the scenic spots or book hotels by yourself. The tour guide follows you throughout the journey, and everything from pick-up to drop off is arranged clearly. My parents are not as physically strong as young people, so the tour guide will deliberately slow down the pace of the itinerary. For example, when playing in Tianchi and Nalati grasslands in Tianshan, they will point out the rest area in advance, so that they can rest for a while when they are tired, without having to rush, which is much easier than planning on their own. You can go to the foot sports tourism special train to see the introduction of this special train, which is written very clearly and has many aging friendly renovations.
