Take a ride on the Republic of China's small train through the border of southern Yunnan

🚇When you come to Jianshui, you can miss the ancient city, but you must not miss the small train. The Jianshui meter-gauge small train has a history of a hundred years. It was built during the Republic of China and uses a narrow-gauge track of 1 meter, so it is called "meter-gauge". The small train departs from Lin'an Station, passes through Shuanglong Bridge and Xianghui Bridge, and finally arrives at Tuanshan Village, a total distance of nearly 13 kilometers. Don't underestimate this 13 kilometers, it takes 3 hours to drive, which is slower than riding a shared bicycle. Nitrogen, what you want is this "slow" rhythm. Along the way, you will stop and go, with farmland and flowers welcoming you on both sides. With the change of seasons, rapeseed, seedlings, and rice are staged in turn. 🔮Tips for booking small train tickets: Usually you need to book in advance on Ctrip, and it is difficult to book during the peak season. You can book with the homestay you are staying in. They can book directly and will give you a small ticket. When you arrive at Lin'an Station, you can exchange tickets for the train with the small ticket. 1️⃣Lin'an Station It's not the old name of Hangzhou, it's the train station of Jianshui a hundred years ago. Now there is a meter-gauge small train theme park, which is also the starting station of the small train. 2️⃣Shuanglong Bridge (Seventeen-hole Bridge) Commonly known as the Seventeen-hole Bridge, it is very beautiful under the reflection of the river. Built during the Qianlong period, it was named because the Lujiang River and the Tachong River meet here. It is a key cultural relic protection unit in Yunnan Province. Mao Yisheng once visited and highly praised it. 3️⃣Xianghui Bridge The Xianghui Bridge Station, built in 1936, was named because it was built near the Xianghui Bridge. It is a witness to China's first private railway. The original Republic of China train station is preserved, and time seems to have stopped at the most beautiful moment. 4️⃣Tuanshan Folk Houses A small mountain village dominated by the Zhang family, which is also the end of the small train, retains a large number of ancient buildings from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and is an open-air ancient folk house museum.
