    There are only two trains a day! 09:00 and 14:30! Daily passenger capacity is limited! Round trip on Ctrip is 95 RMB! The scenery along the way is quite nice! Tourist resources are limited! Don't have too high expectations! The houses in Tuanshan are very primitive! But there's not much to see! Shuanglong Bridge is 4 kilometers from Jianshui Ancient City! You can also take a taxi there! The 17-arch Shuanglong Bridge is still very beautiful.

    This is a place worth visiting for the whole family. It boasts a rich history, ancient legends, a small train from the Republican era, unique geography, and a vibrant display of karst caves illuminated by lights. It's also highly recommended for families and photography enthusiasts. Besides the scenery, there are also local delicacies: Jianshui's braised tofu is incredibly delicious, and the aroma of it roasting over a fire will have you salivating! In Yunnan, swallows are revered as birds of good fortune and happiness. Every household in Yunnan reserves nesting areas for them under the eaves. Every winter, the swallows return to build their nests, and they are very selective about where they nest, bringing joy to any household they visit! In spring, the chirping of baby swallows heralds the arrival of spring, a new year, and new life... The arrival of the swallows brings happiness, peace, and vitality...

    This ancient village near Jianwen County was settled and thrived by Han Chinese from Shangrao during the Ming Dynasty. Its original features are still relatively well-preserved.

    The environment is quiet, the air is fresh, and it's a natural oxygen bar. The cave is very spectacular and spacious, with rugged rocks. It's worth a visit! There are also freehand rock climbing performances, which are exciting and worth a visit!

    The "Shuanglong Bridge" (Seventeen-Arch Bridge) is arguably the most cost-effective attraction in Jianshui. It's especially beautiful in the evening, when the afterglow casts a golden glow on the bridge and the river, creating a breathtaking spectacle. This attraction is free, and the Jianshui train stops for half an hour each morning and afternoon, offering a chance to take a photo with the train. Next to the bridge are rice paddies, perfect for photo opportunities. At both the bridge entrance and exit, vendors offer a dazzling array of snacks.
