The Zhengzhou Metro Cultural Journey is a beautiful encounter between rail transit and art, as well as a vivid practice of integrating transportation and tourism. When the metro is no longer just the main artery of urban transportation but also a new carrier for cultural dissemination, this cultural feast flowing beneath the city turns every trip into a journey filled with surprises and warmth.

The "Zhengzhou Charm · Flowing Art" six metro flash mob performances, set in the two core stations of Zijingshan and Baimiao, embed art into the evening commute. They encourage hurried commuters to slow down and, during transfers and waits, encounter the melodious sounds of the guzheng, the passion of the violin, and the vigor of opera, experiencing the artistic charm of the collision between tradition and modernity.

This metro cultural journey breaks the spatial boundaries between art and daily life, making art accessible through barrier-free cultural benefits. With over 5,000 on-site viewers, an interaction rate exceeding 70%, and online topics garnering tens of thousands of views, it has alleviated stress for commuters, allowed students to experience classics, and earned respect for teachers.

More importantly, it has transformed cultural benefits for the people from a slogan into a tangible sense of happiness. Metro stations have evolved from one-way commuting tools into temporary art spaces that carry the cultural expectations of citizens. People of different ages and identities meet here, resonating through art and adding a warm emotional connection to the city.

As a Zhengzhou model of integrated transportation and tourism, this metro cultural journey connects cultural contexts through rail transit and unlocks new value in public spaces. It not only conveys core values such as respect for teachers and cultural confidence, but also allows Zhengzhou's cultural vitality to surge continuously through the metro's movement. In the future, art will enter more metro stations and urban public spaces, allowing the seeds of culture to take root and sprout in every corner of the city.

The Zhengzhou Metro Cultural Journey is always ongoing. It will continue to use culture as a bond and innovation as a driving force, ensuring that every metro trip becomes a unique cultural encounter and allowing the ancient capital of Zhengzhou to radiate even richer cultural charm along its expanding rail lines.
