Tahira's Wonderful Journey

Updated: February 03, 2026

Tahira is a high school student from Bandung, and the Jakarta–Bandung high-speed railway races past her school every day, becoming the most familiar sight in her sketchbook. In 2025, Xu Deyang from CRRC Qingdao Sifang invited her to take part in the "Rail Enthusiast Open Day." During this journey, Tahira not only visited the CRRC Eco-Connect Center but also experienced the Jakarta–Bandung high-speed railway and the new Indonesian commuter train firsthand. This unforgettable experience planted a beautiful seed of hope in her heart—for the future and for her dreams.
