浅馨暗沁Bisezhai is a scenic area that "speaks through history." It doesn't rely on scenery, but rather on its rusty rails, faded French-style buildings, and silent platforms to tell the story of the early 20th century's glory and sorrow. If you have a strong interest in modern history, railway culture, or humanistic photography, this is a worthwhile visit. The French-style yellow-walled, red-tiled station buildings, old-fashioned steam locomotives, and retro station signs create a wonderful atmosphere for photos. It was also a filming location for the movie "Youth." 💐Because it required traversing many high mountains, the terrain was complex, the environment harsh, and the gradients steep, making its construction incredibly difficult. The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway uses a 1-meter gauge (the standard gauge is 1.435 meters), hence the name "meter-gauge railway." The narrow gauge is better suited for building on complex mountainous terrain with sharp curves and steep slopes, which is one of the highlights. 🌺 Bisezhai is the core station of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway built during the French colonial period. This railway, Yunnan's first international railway, connects Kunming, China, with Haiphong, Vietnam, and was once a vital passage for Southwest China to the world. 🌼In the early 20th century, Bisezhai became a trading hub, attracting French, Vietnamese, and local merchants, creating a unique multicultural atmosphere. It once housed customs houses, post offices, bars, and hotels. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway became a lifeline for transporting supplies, and Bisezhai served as a transit point, undertaking the task of transshipping international aid to China. 💐However, France used the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to transport Yunnan's valuable resources on a large scale, especially the tin mines of Gejiu. It was both an engineering marvel and a tool of colonialism. It brought openness but also plunder. The shame must not be forgotten.

M29***euWhen the sky is clear, the drone overlooks the south lake of Mengzi, and the clear water is like a mirror, and the sky and clouds are all in the arms. The shoreline of the lake is winding, the willow silk falls like a curtain, and the shore is lush with greenery and greenery along the lake. The lake heart of the Pazhou Pavilion hangs on the water alone, and the darts and corners are particularly eye-catching in the sun. They form elegant pictures with the scattered pavilions and Quqiaos around them. The reflection is in the water of Chenghu Lake, which is in the distance. In the distance, the urban buildings and the lake view blend, and the red roof of the European-style buildings and the Daiwa of the Chinese gardens are in the same way. Occasionally, cruise ships scratched the water, rippled layers, and shocked a few water birds to pass by the lake. From the perspective of high altitude, the South Lake is like an emerald set in the city, with skylight, water color, architecture, and grass intertwined, showing the spirit and tranquility of the southern Anhui water town.
