Line 19 is entirely decorated with the elements of Hangzhou Asian Games, even the seats and armrests in the carriages are colored with the rainbow purple, the Asian Games color. The core elements of Hangzhou Asian Games, such as its slogan are seen in and out of the train as its permanent decoration. The train also highlights the concept of being "green and smart" through an OLED intelligent window system, which displays information alternately at entrances, exits, elevators and or along the route, showcasing photos of the renowned tourist attractions and special food of Hangzhou.
The four Asian Games chartered trains are the busiest routes with the most passengers. They are colored with the Asian Games purple and cyan.
