Is “train travel” the king? 5 routes tell you why it is worth

Is “train travel” the king? 5 routes tell you why it is worth

do you remember

Travel was once a “slow” thing

Unavoidably spend a long time on the road

There are endless scenery outside the car window

There is endless chatter in the carriage

Recently, “train travel” frantically swept the screen on Xiaohongshu

Many routes are popular

Just lazily lying on the train bed

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, it keeps flying away

Is enough to make people feel extremely comfortable and satisfying

——Obviously, high-speed rail and airplanes can reach their destinations in a blink of an eye

Why “train travel” is enduring

Even more prosperous?

Probably because

Traveling is not about filling all the time with attractions

But to experience the state of being “on the road”

Slow train

It allows us to experience the journey bit by bit

Calmly enjoy the scenery on the way

It’s even worth making a special trip for the train

Lijiang-Dali

Private box to enjoy Erhai Lake exclusively

Dali Erhai Lake is sparkling

The magnificent rooms of Lijiang Mufu Palace

Xizhou wheat waves sway in the wind…

Take a trip to Dali Erhai Lake and Lijiang Ancient Town

Has long been a must-have item for travel to Yunnan

But travel by train

But it’s a new way to open

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger Fang Qikiki

See the following scene

You will understand why this train is all over the little red book:

In the sleeping box

Eating snacks and listening to the song

The bright sunshine on the plateau poured in through the windows

Slowly crossing the blue Erhai Lake…

The road is so uncomfortable

The scenery is beautiful

Ranked in the most enjoyable train journey in the country

This is a train route between Lijiang and Dali

The most enjoyable way

There is nothing more than the “mobile sea view double room”

Only 300 yuan

You can buy tickets for the “soft private room for one person”

You can lie down and enjoy the scenery of Erhai Lake in Dali (depending on the direction)

There is a 1.5-meter large bed and a small bed

Easily accommodate 3 adults

Can take the artificial passage

Get on the bus with 1 person and 2 people

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger Fang Qikiki

Private rooms can be locked

No one will come to round or disturb on the way

The facilities are quite complete and the details are considerate

Like exquisite bedside tables and table lamps

Knob-type adjustable box music volume

It’s almost as good as a five-star hotel

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger photographer Chill

What’s more surprising is

The bar on the train is very atmospheric

Comes with a KTV with light effects and complete audio

There is even a piano

Play a song or sing

Communicate with people who have never met through music

I don’t know, I thought I went to a cool hostel

The ancient city of Dali and Lijiang

You probably can already hear the wonderful drum music

Because the crew on this train are all talented

They will come to a performance for every traveller

The whole journey is full of joy

And even if you only take a hard seat

I can also experience the style of this train very well

Except this route

There are many equally wonderful train travel notes on Xiaohongshu

Don’t miss the following

Harbin-Haikou

From winter to summer in 2 days

Z114 is a train route that runs through China’s north and south

You can travel through the heat and cold in one journey

“Go and stop” along the whole line

Enough to see the north and south characteristics

46 hours drive

From Harbin West Station to Haikou Station

From the snow world to the tropical kingdom

Is the most unique experience on this train

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger Dayao’s travel strategy

If you choose to go from Harbin Start the journey

You can see Hagia Sophia

A gorgeous spherical dome covered with white snow

Or “splash water into ice” in the snow

Feel the unique romance of midwinter

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger Snow Fanxing

As the train goes south

Walked through Shenyang, Changchun, Tianjin…

You will see the heavy snow disappeared

Ice lake “thawed”

The countryside is no longer bare

The style of the village has also become more “ink and wash”

You know you have come to the south

The huge difference in this natural landscape

Derived from the temperate monsoon climate

Transition to subtropical monsoon climate

Even in winter

The hilly area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is wetter than the north

The mountain forest still has a lot of greenery

Picture from Xiaohongshu blogger don’t know what the name is, no name

Continue south

The sun began to become bright and violent

Not only is the air no longer dry and cold

Even full of dampness and warmth

This is Lingnan

in Xuwen, Zhanjiang, Guangdong get off

Zhanjiang caught fire by last year’s web drama “The Hidden Corner”

It has become a must-see place for many people

Here you can appreciate the tropical style of the coastal city:

“Pineapple Sea” like a palette

Chikan Old Street, full of western style of commercial port

And China’s largest volcanic island: Naozhou Island

All brilliant

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger, walking slowly on the 11th road

Xu Wen from Zhanjiang got on the bus again

Go to Hainan Haikou

The train will be “decomposed” in sections

Pushed onto the railway trestle bridge by the traction locomotive

Then enter the cabin

Cross the sea from this

Is a real “sea train”

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger who is dedicated to travel ^_^

If there is not enough time for a long train journey

The following short-distance boutique train routes

Can get rich fun

Maybe it suits you well

Qinghai Chaka Salt Lake Train

Driving “in the sky”

Qinghai Chaka Salt Lake Known as “Mirror of the Sky”

Pure landscape

It’s a blockbuster when you shoot

When the light, water volume, and wind conditions are right

The surface of the lake is particularly smooth and reflective

Like a huge mirror

This is due to the high salt content in the lake

And deposited evenly at the bottom of the lake

Make the depth of the lake even

Crystalline salt grains are almost white

The reflection effect is stronger than ordinary lake water

Coupled with the high concentration of salt, the surface tension of the lake water is stronger

The breeze does not easily disturb the water surface

The lake surface is more “smooth”

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger Liao Dacongcong

Chaka Salt Lake is easy to mine

Has a history of more than 3,000 years

But until the 1950s

Still mainly rely on manual mining

Human digging, hand pushing, camel transportation, etc.

Until the 70s

Chaka Salt Factory designed a cutter suction salt mining ship by itself

Railroad tracks all over the salt lake now

Is an important tool used to transport salt

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger Mimi in April

Nowadays, the “little train” of Caka Salt Lake is reviving

Busyly go deep into the lake from the outer edge every day

Not for transporting salt

Instead, it provides visitors with a novel and beautiful sightseeing experience:

The boundary between the world and the earth is inseparable

A symmetrical vast landscape

As the train moves slowly

It’s constantly changing in sight, and it’s extraordinarily graceful

Got off the train and walked along the passage

You can walk into the lake to play

Shoot pure scenery and your own reflection

Pictured from the little red book blogger’s travel food vest

After experiencing the wonders of “Mirror of the Sky”

You can also visit the mechanized salt mining operation

Night view of the stars

And admire various salt sculptures in the sculpture area

Sichuan Jiayang Train

Travel through the steam age in one second

Jiayang Mining Area in Qianwei County, Leshan City Located in southern Sichuan

Every day I hear the whistle of “Woo——Woo——”

Known as “living fossil of the industrial revolution”

Powered by burning coal to generate steam

Jiayang Train

Still running

Whenever spring comes

Dark-colored, metallic train

Walk through the golden rapeseed flowers

White steam

Will attract countless photography enthusiasts to set up long guns and short guns

“Catch” this train bound for spring

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger Yan teacher

Jiayang Little Train is part of Jiayang National Mine Park

The coal mines here have a history of more than 80 years

The small train was originally built for passenger and freight transportation in the mining industry

Now developed as a tourism project

The itinerary is from Yuejin Station to Bajiaogou

The rapeseed dam in the middle is a great viewing spot for the flower field

During the flowering season, how to shoot how beautiful

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger YIYI’s notes

The end of the little train is Bajiaogou, an ancient industrial town

Folk houses, restaurants, grocery stores, and performance plazas are all available

Mainly rely on train to get in and out

Inconvenient transportation to the outside world

Able to retain a large number of Soviet and English buildings

Coming here is like traveling back to the last century

Here is the only real sightseeing coal mine Huangcun Well in the country

Can in-depth understanding of mining operations and environment

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger YIYI’s notes

Along the railway, the mountains and flowers are blooming

Mottled buildings, mines

There are traces of the struggle of coal miners

From time to time a few plumes of smoke rise

The train wheels collided with the sleeper rails

The siren resounded across the mountains

It’s like a paradise where time stays

Guangdong Yingde Train

Shuttle on the lotus pond

Karst landforms in southern my country

Largely distributed in Guangxi, Guizhou, Chongqing

Such as Guilin Landscape, Wulong Tiankeng, Xingyi Wanfeng Forest, etc.

They are all familiar karst landscapes

But Guangdong actually hides a very small karst peak forest

That is Yingxi Peak Forest in Yingde, Qingyuan, Guangdong

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger Zhu Mini Claire

There is a lush karst landscape here

If you want to see this style

Can visit Yingde Fenglin Town

Surrounded by these mountains

Take a very interesting little train

Walking through the lake

Feel the beauty of natural landscape

Is quite a unique experience

Pictured from Xiaohongshu blogger Sharon.S

Except for the Peak Forest

You can also explore karst caves when you come to Yingde

The fairyland of the cave next to the Fenglin town of Yingde

There is an underground river passing through the hole

Feasible on board

Baojing Palace near Yingde City

There are magnificent caves

Strange shapes

At the moment when everything is “fast”

The “slowness” of the train seems counterintuitive

However, this gap

Maybe it is to help us get out of the big environment

Re-examine the opportunity to travel and invest in life

May Day holiday is coming soon

Why not take this opportunity

What about a train journey that is both classic and novel?

Don’t say anything, go grab the ticket!

In your mind, what is train travel like?
