Bisezhai | A century-old Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, a time machine through time and space
🚗The original intention of going to Mengzi was to eat a bowl of authentic rice noodles, and Bisezhai was a side trip, but I'm glad I went, otherwise I would have regretted it
🚗A hundred years ago, Bisezhai was a train station on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, which had been silent for a hundred years, and only reappeared in the public eye thanks to the filming location of "Youth"
🚗Although I haven't seen "Youth", I saw uncles and aunts in the scenic area change into Republic of China costumes, and when they were immersed in taking photos in the sunset, I felt that this was really beautiful

🌟Travel Recommendations
✅Bisezhai Old Station: French three-sided clock, faded benches, peeling walls, very much the feeling of that era, not forced to repair the feeling is really beautiful. I don't know if the railway is still in use, but you can see an old train along the railway, which is also very suitable for taking photos (there is a train ticket office in the scenic area, I arrived in the evening and did not go in)
·
✅Pedestrian Street: The sightseeing car is sent to the starting point of the pedestrian street, which is also opposite the station. There are Mengzi Qing Post Office, Annam Coffee, Republic of China clothing rental. You can also go deep into the pedestrian street, many shops have a hundred years of history, and there are text introductions.
·
✅French architecture: The core of Bisezhai is the station, but the scenic area is very large, this was almost a trade area before, so many old French buildings, as well as the previous tennis courts, can still be used now. It is rare that after a hundred years, it can still exude a romantic French atmosphere
·
✅Some unknown places: Without a sightseeing map for reference, I wandered around the scenic area for a long time, the scenic area is not completely closed, there are many vehicles on the road, it is part of the Kaimeng line. The ubiquitous "I love you" expresses love to everyone without reservation.
