The Jianshui Small Train in Yunnan is a unique journey through a century of history. Its greatest charm lies in allowing modern tourists to experience the poetic life of "the slow pace of the past" as it travels at a leisurely pace. This yellow train running on meter-gauge tracks is the successor to the Gejiu-Bise Railway, built in 1915, making it a "living fossil" of railway history. When you step into Lin'an Station, the retro kraft paper tickets, the French-style wooden station building, and the solid wood seats, elegant wall lamps, and old-fashioned electric fans in the carriages instantly create an immersive feeling of traveling back to the Republic of China era. Accompanied by the "clattering" sound, it moves forward at a speed of only about 20 kilometers per hour, earning it the title of "China's slowest train." This "slowness" is precisely its essence; it resists the fast pace of today, inviting people to take in the beautiful scenery of the countryside, ancient bridges, and villages along the way through the large windows, like watching a moving movie. Despite its strong historical atmosphere, the Jianshui Small Train cleverly integrates the fun of modern tourism. More than just a means of transportation, it's a "flowing cultural corridor" whose "stop at every station, leisurely stroll" design is popular with young tourists. Not only does it stop at stations like Shuanglong Bridge (Seventeen-Arch Bridge) and Xianghui Bridge, giving passengers ample time to explore and take photos, but the carriages themselves are transformed into mobile retro photography studios and social spaces, perfect for capturing artistic masterpieces. The operators have also successfully transformed this century-old railway heritage into an immersive experience that provides emotional value and evokes resonance, allowing passengers to find inner peace and tranquility in a nostalgic atmosphere through a "ticketing + cultural and creative + scene-based consumption" model, introducing theme parks, specialty cafes, and cultural and creative product shops around the station.

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...

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.
