The historical and cultural components of Chuzhou were included into the external design of CRRC Puzhen.
The headlights are shaped like phoenix eyes, and the design, which was inspired by Chuzhou's phoenix painting,
includes an orange belt that runs through the train's entire body from the headstock up.
This emphasises the train's vitality and creates a 3D image that represents Chuzhou's traditional culture.
