On December 24, 2024, a unique and grand event was held at the Songhua River Cable Car Square in Harbin, marking the official launch of the "Big Red Double-Decker, Charming Departure" ceremony to celebrate the upcoming Asian Winter Games - the maiden voyage of Harbin Chunqiu Sightseeing Bus. At the event, the Ankai Big Red Double-Decker made a stunning debut, adorned with elaborate paintings of Harbin's cultural and tourism landmarks such as the Ice and Snow World and Central Street, resembling a flowing masterpiece that shimmered brilliantly. The phrases "Urban Sightseeing, City Sightseeing, Hop On, Hop Off" gleamed under the sun, showcasing its international charm and establishing a new symbol for the Ice City.

With its comprehensive technology, outstanding appearance, intelligence, convenience, and comfort, the Ankai double-decker bus has long been a popular choice both domestically and internationally. It not only operates in various regions such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao but also gained fame overseas by serving global tourists during the 2024 Paris International Sports Event, becoming a beautiful showcase for Chinese manufacturing exported abroad.

Huang Liping, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Ankai Bus, stated that to help build a new development pattern integrating "public transportation and tourism," Ankai Bus will always be committed to driving the iterative upgrading of urban sightseeing tourism and continuously innovating product design to inject new vitality into the high-quality development of urban tourism and sightseeing.

After the launch ceremony, the Ankai Big Red Double-Decker officially announced its operational debut. They will be deployed on Harbin's three newly opened special sightseeing routes, encircling landmark buildings and popular tourist attractions such as Central Street and the Ice and Snow World, connecting Harbin's iconic spots and memorials. This will provide domestic and international tourists with a more convenient, comfortable, and enjoyable sightseeing experience in anticipation of the upcoming 2025 Asian Winter Games.

As a typical example of Harbin's new-era integration of public transportation and cultural tourism, the Ankai double-decker bus combines high aesthetics with superior quality. The bus is stylish and imposing, featuring a striking "Chinese Red" body that catches the eye. It is adorned with Harbin's city characteristics, making it highly attractive. To maximize the sightseeing experience, the Ankai double-decker bus is equipped with large observation windows on both sides, making the entire vehicle bright and transparent. The second floor features a panoramic skylight, offering a 360° panoramic view for tourists to immerse themselves in the scenery along the way and experience the unique charm of "Harbin." Additionally, the bus cleverly incorporates a sixteen-language voice system, integrating the vehicle, scenery, people, and service commentary, precisely meeting the actual sightseeing needs of international tourists.
