Xianghuiqiao Station

Xianghuiqiao Station

4.1
4.7/5
3 reviews
Xianghuiqiao Station was built in 1936. Its name has a deep history, derived from the adjacent Xianghui Bridge, which was built in the 19th year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty. That bridge was once a must-pass route for imperial examination candidates traveling to take their exams, carrying the cultural legacy of valuing education and scholarship. The station's fate is closely tied to the railway. In 1970, the line was converted from narrow gauge to meter gauge, and in 2015, with the relaunch of the Jianshui Ancient City sightseeing train project, it once again welcomed a lively atmosphere. What makes Xianghuiqiao Station eye-catching is its unique architectural style that blends Chinese and Western elements. The main structure uses a Chinese-style wooden frame with a symmetrical and orderly layout, and the bracket components on the roof showcase the intricacy of traditional architecture. Meanwhile, the yellow paint on the exterior walls bears the signature French style uniform to the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway. After nearly a century of weathering, the walls may be mottled, but this only adds to their sense of historical weight.Jianshui · 6 km from downtown

Xianghuiqiao Station was built in 1936. The station building is one of the few well-preserved buildings today. A large area of ​​purple lavender blooms in front of the station. The mottled yellow walls and faded green window frames of the station building, with highly saturated colors, make the picture full of cartoon-like beauty, just like walking into a romantic fairy tale world. The yellow train is parked quietly by the platform, and the air is filled with a gentle and peaceful atmosphere. When the small train clangs away from the platform, the "meter gauge" becomes the best background for people to check in and take pictures. The shiny rails extend into the distance and disappear at the end of the bend. The lens full of old times exudes a strong artistic conception. Xianghuiqiao Station, I really want to call you "the most beautiful railway station"

Aside from the Wenchang Pagoda, it can be described as utterly useless. However, the intangible cultural heritage of incense making using flowers is worth learning about.

Xiaogui Lake is located outside Yinghui Gate. During the day, it is too hot and there is basically no one here, so it is in a dormant state. At night, Xiaogui Lake is full of vitality, with people singing and dancing in the lakeside square, mobile vendors hawking their wares everywhere, and all the restaurants are crowded. It is so lively.

March 2, 2025, taken in Jianshui, Yunnan Province, at the Rice Paddy Park and the 10,000-mu Rapeseed Flower Sea Scenic Area beside Shuanglong Bridge. This scenic area, newly developed in the last two years, showcases the simple and honest folk customs of Yunnan. The area was bustling with tourists that day; the rapeseed fields were crowded with visitors from all over the country taking photos. The parking lots on both sides of Shuanglong Bridge were full, and the roadsides were lined with cars. Right at the entrance, local people dressed in ethnic minority costumes spontaneously danced joyfully to welcome the visitors. There was no elaborate rehearsal, no complicated movements, not even background music, but the smiles on their faces, their sincerity, were genuine and rarely seen in the city. How happy and fulfilled must their hearts be to bloom with such beautiful smiles? How much sunshine must have nurtured such kind people? Beautiful scenery is everywhere in our motherland, and our ethnic minority brothers and sisters are one family. Deeply moved, my desire to live in Yunnan has grown even stronger. I want to share this feeling of joy and happiness with my friends.

Walking into the Linyao Art Center is more like a quaint manor, with black tiles and white walls in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. From handicraft workshops to street shops, there are hundreds of purple pottery experience stores where you can see a wide variety of Jianshui purple pottery, from traditional teapots and teacups to vases and flower pots that have undergone modern artistic innovation. Both the texture and shape have their own characteristics. Jianshui purple pottery has a delicate texture and a bright surface. It is known as being as hard as iron, as bright as water, as smooth as jade, and as sonorous as a chime. It is also the first batch of iconic products listed as intangible cultural heritage of Yunnan Province. There are many tourists, and it is also nice to visit the night view.
