An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an interior decoration structure and a railway vehicle with the interior decoration structure. The interior decoration structure is located inside a vehicle body. The interior decoration structure includes: a plurality of interior decoration components, the plurality of interior decoration components being spliced inside the vehicle body in sequence, wherein at least one pair of two adjacent interior decoration components are connected by an inserted-connected structure. The interior decoration structure in the present disclosure solves the problem in the related art that interior decoration parts are prone to unstable connection due to a mounting mode of an interior decoration structure.

The invention relates to an articulated vehicle including a plurality of vehicles or vehicle parts connected to one another in an articulated manner, a passage arranged between adjacent ones of the vehicles or the vehicle parts, the passage having an inner lining and an outer lining laterally spaced from the inner lining so as to define an empty cavity therebetween, one front wall on each side of the passage between the two adjacent vehicles or vehicle parts, the inner lining and the outer lining being arranged at the front walls of the two adjacent vehicles or vehicle parts while forming the empty cavity therebetween, a noise-absorbing noise insulation layer applied to a free surface on each of the front walls in the empty cavity between the inner and outer lining, wherein each of the noise-absorbing noise insulation layer extends into the empty cavity and terminates at a surface facing opposite to the each of the front walls respectively.
