The Best Route for Train Travel in China How to travel by train in China?

There are many ways to travel. You can choose to travel by train. The following are some routes that are more suitable for traveling by train. You can choose the right scenic spots to play according to your own needs. As for how to play, you need to plan it yourself.

Some people say that Huang Hang Railway (Hanghuang) is the first real "tourist high-speed rail" in China. Basically, there is a forest park waving to you at every stop, and several of them are national scenic spots, so this may be a veritable oxygen sightseeing tour.

Starting from Hangzhou, I am always tired of visiting the West Lake when I want to go out to play every weekend.

It's great to ride a bike in Yang Gongdi, take a walk by the canal and have a cup of tea in Longwu this season.

The famous scenic spots in Hangzhou are Jiande Fuchun River and Chun 'an Qiandao Lake. If you don't plan to continue to go to Huangshan, it's a good place for a holiday and a weekend. The forest coverage rate of these two scenic spots is above 80%, so they can live a real secluded life.

Mountaineering, sightseeing, boating and rafting are excellent choices for spring and summer outings. Kawabata Yasunari said: The beauty that human beings can see is limited, but the beauty of nature is infinite. Here, you can always be close to nature, and maybe you can enjoy more than others.

Yintai Qiandao Lake Store just opened at the end of last year and finally has a place to visit. Of course, you can also choose to go to the roadside farmhouse to eat an authentic Qiandao Lake fish head.

The reason why Qiandao Lake is worth visiting is that the good hotels here, Anlu, Sheraton, Intercontinental, Hilton and Kaiyuan Resort, were very popular in previous years. In short, taking a family vacation can help you settle down properly.

As for Anhui, I actually feel that the tourism resources are quite good, but the publicity and management may not be very good. Wuyuan people get together to see rape flowers, and they can come to Shexian County, where there are few people and the scenery is very good. Especially after the rain, seeing the clouds in the valley and enjoying the flowers give you a layered feeling, such as being in a fairyland.

Huizhou Ancient City in Shexian County is one of the four best-preserved ancient cities in China. The structure of big cities and small towns makes it unique, which also gives it another reason worth seeing. This Huizhou-style building with white walls and tiles is the most poetic in the drizzle in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Therefore, Anhui is really an underestimated tourist destination. Huizhou merchants, Huizhou studies, Huizhou ink and rice paper were all born in this poetic land, just waiting for you to taste its details.

Huangshan, the terminal, is now fully open, and the cableway can also be taken. As long as you show the green code and put on a mask, you can enter the park in an orderly manner. Remember to make an appointment in advance

Before talking about Hainan Island Railway, we have to talk about its last section-Guangdong-Hainan Railway, which starts from Zhanjiang and ends at Haikou Station. It is the first cross-sea railway in China.

I never thought deeply about how the train crossed Qiongzhou Strait before. I always thought it was a bridge or a tunnel. It turned out that it first split the train into four sections, loaded it on the ferry and then transported it to the other side. Of course, the passengers stayed in the carriage all the time.

It takes about 5 hours from Zhanjiang. It is quite interesting to experience this way of crossing the sea by train once, which provides a new idea for Cantonese people to travel to Hainan.

When we arrived at Haikou Station, we officially docked with Hainan's railway around the island. Although many people have been to Hainan more than once, there are definitely a few people who really walk around the island. Don't you want to dominate Hainan Island in this super worry-free way and become that special minority?

The railway around the island is divided into two sections: the East Ring Road from Haikou and the West Ring Road from Sanya. How about a ticket with the same name as the departure station?

How to play this route?

The east coast is rich in tourism resources, so you can take the western half and play the eastern half. Haikou, the starting point of the eastern route, is the capital city of Hainan. The street view is very tasty, especially the arcade old street.

Hundreds of small Nanyang buildings here were built by returned overseas Chinese in the last century. More than 700 years have passed, and their appearance has not changed at all, just recreating the lively scene of people living here at that time.

Of course, the arcade in the past is now full of new vitality and has become a good place for leisure and entertainment. If foodies want to find local food, arcade snack street welcomes you. Hainan powder, Qingbuliang, fish tea, and various Hainan delicacies are enjoyable.

Xinhua South Road still retains traditional tailor shops, teahouses and small restaurants to take you through time. Zhongshan Road takes the literary route, drinks a cup of coffee, visits galleries and cultural and creative shops, and has a pleasant time in Haikou.

Hainan Island was a wilderness of exile in ancient times, but now it has been transformed into a tourist attraction.

In Haikou, you can go to the Lvwan Garden facing Qiongzhou Strait and learn about all kinds of exotic tropical plants.

You can also go to the Leiqiong Haikou Volcano Group Geopark, climb to the top of the crater and overlook the endless seascape. Tourism science is right, so it is quite suitable as a destination for parent-child travel.

If you want to take some interesting photos, Xiaogang Feng Film Commune is a good place. It's a bit like Guangzhou Street in Hengdian, but the street view of the commune is richer. In addition to the style of the Republic of China, there are Nanyang Style Street, Church Square, Old Beijing Style Street and so on. I don't know if I can meet a big coffee and make a movie. If I am not satisfied, watching a performance is also excellent.

Those retro signs are still quite tasteful, especially after turning on the lights at night, the sense of nostalgia is overwhelming. By the way, Fanghua was filmed here.

There is a saying that "Wenchang coconut is half of Hainan, and the coconut grove in the eastern suburb is the most beautiful", and this coconut grove in the eastern suburb located by the sea is in Wenchang. Imagine crossing the coconut grove avenue to the seaside, sitting under a coconut tree, drinking coconut juice and looking at the sea, so you can come to Hainan for nothing.

Tongguling in Wenchang is the easternmost point of Hainan and the highest point of the whole island. There are not only all kinds of grotesque rocks in the scenic area, but the most important thing is that you can overlook three bays at a time, and the perspective is awesome.

Sanya, the terminal of the eastern half circle, is really a super resort.

Along the coastline, a good hotel in Yishui is no worse than those countries in Southeast Asia. You can sit on the beach and watch the sea view and enjoy all kinds of delicious and fun services without leaving home. Every day the sound of the waves comes as scheduled, and everyone is very happy.

Bashi Railway (Sichuan Jiayang Small Train) Although the Jiayang small train running on Bashi Railway is old and slow, the ticket is still very attractive. Because it is the only steam narrow gauge train in China that still insists on passenger transport. Some people say that this train is a living fossil of the industrial revolution. For railway fans, it can be called a place of pilgrimage.

Bashi Railway is located in Qianwei County, Leshan City, Sichuan Province, with a total length of only19.8km.. Originally, it was built to transport coal from Jiayang Coal Mine. Later, resources gradually dried up, so it was unloaded and changed to passenger sightseeing.

Coal mine+old train sounds like a nostalgic and hard-core story. However, even if you are not interested in these, it should be hard to forget the fairy tale scene of crossing the rape field by train.

Chinese national geography once listed the scenery along the Jiayang train as one of the scenic spots in Sichuan 100. It is a good time to see it in the future.

How to play this route?

Ganxian county is more than 200 kilometers away from Chengdu. After all, it is in a ravine, and someone may be persuaded to retreat in traffic, and the scenery is not so beautiful.

From Chengdu, take the 1 hour bullet train to Qianwei Railway Station, and then take a taxi to the starting point of Jiayang small train (the bus is too slow and troublesome). It will be much more convenient to drive by car or sign up for a one-day tour. These two methods are recommended. Because the traffic in small counties is inconvenient and the charges are not standardized, it is easy to be killed if you need to charter a car or take a taxi temporarily.

Although Bashi Railway is less than 20 kilometers, it has a drop of more than 200 meters and has 109 bends. The bend at Caiziba Station is recognized as the most beautiful, and many photographers crouch at this station just to press the shutter at this moment.

It is not a problem to cross the mountains and seas by train now, but the previous trains were not as flexible as they are now, so you can see the moment when the railway people had an epiphany. For example, at Fengyan Station in a small bend, the "herringbone route" pioneered by Zhan Tianyou was adopted to make a U-turn. It's hard to experience such a railway route now.

After all, it is sightseeing now, so there are flight attendants on the Jiayang train to explain it, and some scenic spots are set up on the way.

If you are interested, you can go to the Open-pit Railway Museum or Jiayang National Mine Park to experience the mining process for yourself. It is also the only real mine that can be visited in China.

At some sites suitable for taking pictures, the driver's master will ask passengers to get off and enjoy the scenery. Besides rape fields, the most anticipated thing is the jet performance of Liangshuituo. You will find that the train drew a rainbow. Is this a hardcore romance?

If you are a nostalgic person, Bagou, an industrial town, can satisfy all your feelings. Old-fashioned bungalows are mixed with English buildings and Soviet-style houses, and with this slogan all over the street, people who have not experienced that era have briefly participated in that period.

Tickets for Jiayang small train can't be booked online, so you can only buy them at the entrance of Yuejin Station scenic spot. It's easy not to get tickets on weekends in the hot season. If you really want to sit, you can buy an ordinary ticket. The difference is that when you meet a scenic spot, you won't stop to take pictures for everyone, and you only charge 40 yuan.

Out-of-date and old things can't stop being eliminated. No one knows when the Jiayang train will be delivered to the museum, and only tourists can visit it. So, now, listen to the dying whistle.

But at present, the train has not resumed operation, so we can wait and see.

Binzhou Line (Harbin-Manzhouli) wants to see the northern scenery at once. This Binzhou line is very suitable for seeing different colors in different seasons.

It sailed all the way from Songnen Plain to Daxinganling, where the forest was completely stained or covered with snow, and then crossed the free and vast Hulunbeier grassland, with a desert on the way.

Several completely different landscapes are displayed outside the train window, just like slides, which is also a benefit that can only be enjoyed by taking this train.

Harbin is one of the cities worth visiting in the north. If you haven't been there, you can set aside 1 day and at least visit Hagia Sophia. This orthodox church, which is almost synonymous with Harbin, has gone through a century with a strong Russian flavor.

The second thing is to go to Central Street to have an authentic Russian meal and feel Harbin on the tip of your tongue.

Walking on this street about the size of a church is also a journey of western architecture. Behind every building with different styles, there are stories written in history.

If you have enough time, you can choose to get off and stay in Hailar. Buy a local one-day tour in advance and charter a car from Hailar to cross Hulunbeier grassland the next day. Be sure to see the Le River in the mortuary, which winds from Daxinganling 1000 km. It's really beautiful, and the picture is amazing.

Although the accommodation conditions of yurts are not very good, it is still worth a try as a rare experience.

It takes only 2 hours to get on the bus from Hailar to the terminal. Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia is a city built on Hulunbeier grassland, bordering Mongolia and Russia. This gate is not only a must-see attraction in Manchuria, but also a sense of security that we can see.

Border cities will more or less bear some cultural symbols of other countries. Therefore, whether it is food or architectural art style, you can feel the customs of the Three Kingdoms in Manchuria at the same time, which is quite wonderful.

The doll is probably the most memorable symbol here. It can be seen everywhere in the square, and a doll scenic spot has been specially built. Yes, even hotels have doll themes. By the way, Manzhouli is also a starting point for trans-siberian railway.

At the end of last year, a special train, Hulunbeier forest tourist train, was put into trial operation on this railway, running between Hailar and Manzhouli.

Built for sightseeing, the trip lasts for four days and three nights. After the transformation of the interior of the carriage, it is as convenient as staying in a hotel. Moreover, each carriage has different functions, such as a children's paradise for children to play, a cultural space for performances and a business space for conversation. It feels quite versatile, a bit like a cruise ship.

However, at the time of the epidemic, I didn't find much information about it on the Internet for the time being, and I saw someone say that tickets cost 30 thousand. If it's true, it's a bit of a persuasion.

Speaking of China Railway, I have to mention two places-Qinghai-Tibet Railway and chengdu-kunming railway, which are probably the most extreme scenery in China.

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has a minimum altitude of 2,000 meters, starting from Qinghai and ending in Lhasa, even passing through the no-man's land in Hoh Xil and the snowy Tanggula Mountain. The scenery on this road is like a vivid geographical encyclopedia, full of unadorned natural beauty.

The difficulty of Qinghai-Tibet Railway lies in altitude, and the difficulty of chengdu-kunming railway lies in topography, which is a miracle of human conquest of nature.

The train journey 1000 kilometers, from Chengdu to Kunming, has been used for more than 60 years before and after it was fully opened to traffic. In "Celebrity on the Internet", I met chengdu-kunming railway on the Chongqing subway, which was just nine Niu Yi hairs.
