This is my third time visiting Muling Town. As a third-class station from the Chinese Eastern Railway era, the locations of some of Muling's buildings still need to be verified (for example, the Muling station once had a large stable). I wanted to confirm the current state of the buildings I've photographed before and see if I could capture any new angles—I climbed up several multi-story stairwells.
The level crossing in front of Muling Station has been rebuilt; the original main line is now disconnected, and the section toward Beilin has been partially converted into a road.
It rained all day, so the visit wasn't exactly smooth... I went to the East Mountain to try and recreate an overhead shot of the Muling River Bridge, but the corn on the hillside had grown too tall and blocked the view, and I couldn't find that vantage point. The small path on East Mountain was also extremely muddy, so it was a bit of a struggle... I'll just have to wait until October or November after the harvest to see if it's any better.
