Ren Ran, a Beijing resident, plans to visit Hangzhou for the upcoming National Day holiday.

He has booked a rail ticket and even shipped his car, also by rail, to his destination.

The Beijing Railway Administration launched the country's first "car-transporting train for tourists" to Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, on Sunday.

Travelers who shipped their cars on Sunday will leave for Hangzhou on Tuesday from Beijing South Railway Station and pick up their cars on Wednesday at their destination.

They are charged from 3,000 yuan ($490) to 4,000 yuan, round trip, for transportation of their cars.

"Renting a car in Hangzhou costs about 400 to 800 (yuan) a day during the holiday," said Ren. "But it will be more comfortable traveling with my own car."
