Bisezhai: Time has rusted on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway

When the roar of the steam locomotive faded into a sigh, Bisezhai became a specimen of time. The goose-yellow walls of the French-style station house peel off the stories of 1909, the climbing vines climb over the century for the clock, and the tracks extend into the dense forest like an endless dash— "Here, once carried tin mines, ambitions, and nostalgia for the chaotic world, heading for the folds of history." A girl in a cheongsam walks across the platform, and the film automatically develops: The officer's pocket watch ticks, the sweat of Vietnamese laborers seeps into the sleepers, and the jasmine flowers on the red earth bloom and wither. And today's wind still turns the station sign, spelling "Bisezhai" into a love letter of time. 📝[Bisezhai In-depth Guide] 🚞 Transportation Guide 1.
