Xianghuiqiao Station

There is a famous small train station in Jianshui County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan called Xianghuiqiao Station. This is a building with a history of nearly a hundred years. It is also the only station on the Bishi Railway that combines Chinese and Western elements and is the most distinctive station. Built in 1932, it had office buildings, terminals, platforms, and freight yards when completed. According to information, there used to be three railway tracks in the station, one for trains to stop at the station, one for trains to make way for meeting trains, and the other for train dispatching, retention, and cargo loading and unloading. Now there is only one meter track left for tourists to visit and experience. The station building of Xianghuiqiao Station cleverly combines two construction methods. It is a single-eave modern building that combines Chinese and French architectural features. The outer wall is unified in the yellow color of the jade stone railway platform building at that time. The station building is one of the few buildings that is well-preserved today. The mottled yellow walls and faded green window lattice of the station, these two almost perfect color combinations, make the picture full of comic-like beauty. The current Xianghuiqiao Station and the remaining "meter track" have become the best background for people to check in and take photos.
