    "The rice rail train is only this one in China. To understand the history of the earliest private trains in China, you can take a look. There is no scenery along the way. The stop time of the 17-hole bridge is a bit short. Maybe take a look at the bridge. Other stations can be seen an hour earlier."

    Highlights: The Jianshui Excursion Train departs from Lin'an in Yunnan Province. The train station and train carriages are decorated in a historical style from the Nationalist era. The beautiful scenery changes with the seasons. In spring, visitors can enjoy fields of yellow canola flowers, while in summer rice seedlings erupt into a sea of green. The rice is harvested in autumn, while winter is the best time to view the rice paddies. The train stops at Shuanglong Bridge and Xianghui Bridge, which afford magnificent views over the surrounding area.

    "Jianshui Swallow Cave feels very shocking to enter the scenic spot. countless swallows circled outside the cave. Enter the cave to admire the ghostly work of nature. It is cool and comfortable inside on a hot day outside. It is beautiful all the way. It is also the first time to see such a cave landscape. I also watched the unarmed climbing of the cliffs of the Yi people performing. Kung Fu is really good. This attraction is worth a visit. Praise."

    "The bridge is OK, but there is no need to take a small train, waste time, the seat is narrow, and the scenery along the way is not good. You can take a taxi. And I can't take a positive photo in the morning, facing the light. Only by running to the other side can I get out of my beautiful photo."

    "I didn't expect it to be so quiet when I came to Tuanshan Village, maybe because I didn't take the small train here, because many tour groups came here by small train, I chose another way to take the bus here. Although the bus method is faster than the small train, it lacks an experience, but it is also a good feeling to be able to stagger with the tour group."
